looking 4ward to my babyboy this Nov.
I'm at billiting on Ramstein and looking for a house now. I have a deal with a Tech. to get his Opel 4X4 as soon as I pass my drivers test...
I NEED HELP though.... I had headers put on the 'ol 98 TA and I was strapped for time when I picked it up *shipped the same day I got the work done* and now its too loud and I'm affraid I will fail inspection.... I'm hoping that a new catbac will quite it down ... any thoughts?? My current CB is a Flowmaster American Thunder but it's 8yrs old *myfirst mod* I plan to put a Hooker CB on it ....???

Start stuffing steel wool up the pipes til it gets quiet.
This works.

Welcome!
The Hooker will still be too loud. I added a Moroso spiral flow to my exhaust, it's low resistance but it'll cut a few db's. They didn't actually put the gauge on my car when I went back, so I don't know how much quieter it is.

thanks for the welcomes...
The ride wont be hear till mid Nov and becuase thats my wifes due date I prob. won't get the car till the first of Dec...
Steel wool......will that mess anything up if I can't get it out afterwards?
98raptor...if you read this PM me please....
The wife and I both passed our drivers test first time and we bought an Opel Frontera, used, its a decent little 4X4 and we live just out side of Landstuhl in Zur Melkerei so the 4wd will be handy for her going through the hills...
I here the Inspection lanes drive your car and then throw up the E-brake to see if it stops ....is this true? If so that is agreat miss-use of the e-brake... they're not ment to work like that... Hell we don't drive drifters.

I was wondering when you would get here. I heard from someone else that you had stopped by the shop. Stop by CTK when you get a chance. I am setting up the bench stock over there.
I just helped a Mustang guy with his setup that failed. We added the Dynomax (I think) cones from summit. That dropped the DB by 4. We then packed the steelwool in front of the cones and that dropped it another 4 DB. He barely passed, but was good to go. I can guarantee that you will not pass the DB check with the AT Catback. That is what my 93 had, but I snuck through right before they started the checks.
I will be working on the same thing when my car gets here in a few weeks.
