\'99 exhaust mod recommendations
This is for a bone stock '99.
I'm going to do a Gen I sidesill conversion, so the '99 will have sidepipes. As such, that eliminates a lot of plumbing.
I also plan to delete the cats, but I want to keep mufflers of some sort, because I don't want an obnoxiously loud car, especially with sidepipes.
Ideally, the car would be (relatively) quiet at cruising speed, have a moderate rumble during normal acceleration, and a serious growl with spirited acceleration.
So, from headers to mufflers to crosspipes to ?, which setup will yield the most HP while achieving the desired effects?
I am concerned about the exhaust note, but mostly after the HP gain. My HP/sound 'care ratio' is about 80/20.
Thanks!
