I'm thinking about building a new exhaust system (Muffler and all) for my '97 250. I came here to ask some questions hoping somebody here has knowledge on the subject.
Questions:
-Single vs. Dual? Currently it has the stock dual system. What are the benefits of each, and would switching to a single system be too much hassle, and what would it effect?
-How can my design alter the sound? Specifically, how can I make it deeper, or near equal the current sound?
-Is power gain/loss and issue?
-I want it to be louder than stock, but not painfully loud. I know it's not a huge engine, but is there a way to control the sound level, why keeping the desired pitch?
-If anybody has done this themselves please share you experiences, and some tips if you have any
