Probably not very good with the stock cam, it'll just be loud. Grab a cam with a little more duration and some overlap, then open headers sound TITS! Don't put the cutouts down the pipe though, put them right at the headers. That way you won't get all that resonance from the pipe. Oh, and notice I said headers like 20 times. Get headers!

If you cut the mufflers off and just leave the exhaust coming out right there, it's going to stink up your car.

Nick, your car will sound exactly as Ben's does right now resembling a farmer's beat'em up truck. Loud is not fast and not cool. Leave that shit alone and start putting your pennies towards bracing up that car before you fuck something up on it.You'll have the car forever. Don't be in a rush to wring out every ounce of power you can on a no-job budget.

Tell you what. Get those heads I gave to Ben and get them worked. I don't see him using them since he's deadset on that other motor he wants to buy.

Much better idea. Get turn downs welded on, will help a lot with keeping fumes out of the car.

Exhaust is over-rated......... just run open heads....... it will improve your hearing....
