I have a 99 2 door tahoe and i have a flowmaster super 44 and i want it to be a little louder how would i go about this? i dont really get the difference between a cat-back and a dual exhaust system for some reason it confuses me.
Air 'em up. The enemy of any tire is heat, and lower pressures allow the carcass to flex more and generate more heat. This may seem counterintuitive, and some will tell you you will wear the center faster; true to a point, but the whole tire will last longer, so that any wear at the center just seems premature.
Tire life is directly related to compound, as well as how you ride. Sticky/soft compound tires will wear faster. Hard compound tires will last longer, but with less grip. I lost 2000 miles per rear tire when I changed bikes. At the same time, I had to start replacing fronts due to wear. Heavier bike, softer compound tires. Same rider, same style of riding.
If you want louder than the Super 44, go to the summit website and pick yourself up some Dynomax bullets.these will get you the loudness that you are looking for and still not sound like an old P.O.S. truck. the difference between a cat-back and true duals is that the cat-back system is from the catalytic converter back and true duals run from the exhaust manifolds back. The factory setup is enginemanifoldsy-pipecatmufflertail. The y-pipe is a 2-into-1 pipe that connects the 2 exhaust manifolds to the 1 cat.
A cat-back is just an exhaust system that leads into the cat, a dual system never joins together. But I think you're referring to a Y-pipe vs a X-pipe vs a H-pipe. A Y-pipe has both headers leading into a single cat-converter and then leading out through a single muffler. This system relieves back pressure in the mufflers, but has stock limitations in the cat. An X-pipe has each header leading into a separate cat-converter then the pipes join together to equalize pressure, before separating again into two separate mufflers (most effective system). Or the H-pipe (loudest) has two separate pipes coming off each header with it's own cat and muffler. If you want to increase sound go with the H-pipe and cut out the mufflers to make a straight pipe.
Don't bother If you can't afford the best tyres for your bike then garage it and don't ride You place yourself at risk with cheap and maybe inferior tyres and the safety of other road users One other point to remember is that top quality tyres are likely to give you a better mileage return so they in fact end up not being quite so expensive In the interest of safety get TOP QUALITY tyres without compromise Keep safe and ride safe
