The buzzing is more of an annoyance. It get's old after a while but if it dosn't bother you, then it sholdn't be a problem wink1.gif As far as using a resonator or glasspack, there's a muffler/resonator sold by Hedman that provides reflective and absorption damening that supposed to work really well. I left a link somewhere for it on another thread.

You are lucky that they don't buzz. I still get some little buzz after installing my 28" glasspack. Do you have a cat?

OBX doesn't suck man. For the price it''s a steal!!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (homey14h @ May 13 2005, 08:02 AM)</div><div class='quotemain'>any idea where to get that? i only called home depot last night and they dont carry any...someone on here said the were able to get some for like $20.

<span style="color:red">i found that when you call/ask someone who works at home depot...in general, they really have no clue what you are talking about. they will say "no, sorry we don't carry that" but then i'll go and find it myself. sometimes i feel like taking it back to them and saying "i thought you didn't carry any" lol. but seriously, i've found that it's better sometimes to go and check it out for yourself. i may be mistaken, but i thought that they did carry it. you might want to check...</span>

Domestic-orientated websites like Jegs and JC Whitney sell mandrel bent piping. I bought my 4inch piping for my Corvette there. I dunno if they sell smaller sizes that would suit smaller displacement Imports like a Tib though. Go check.

J.C. Whitney is pretty good to order from, they'll even give you a percentage discount if it's your first purchase if you use their coupon. You can even use the left over pipe to make your own CAI, if there's any pipe left over.

Call Jegs or JC and ask one of their salesman about the diameter of their exhaust piping. I'm pretty sure the diameter they offer will be adequate if you plan on going with them.

the buzzing sound is really funny!!! haha..

umm some WRC cars have it. but they are turboed so it sounds cool. the buzz is caused by thin header walls. there are differnt kinds of sounds like that, they can be high pitched buzzing or low pitched. they are caused by straight pipes without resonators or glasspacks. it's really funny when you hear them.

Buzzing is plain embarasing! I hate how my car sounded when I just got my H/E intstalled.

You will need 3 45 degree bends and one 90 degree bend and 5 ft straight.

Wall thickness is 1/8". Thick enough!
