Exhaust

Just bought a 02 SS and I was wondering which exhaust was the best for the car. I want something that will give me a good deep exhaust note but not raspy. thanks guys,,,,

Re: Exhaust

A pre-axle dump dual setup with an X pipe would get you a great sound, and it would be the best setup to go with if you plan on getting headers in the future.

Re: Exhaust

I probably wont go with headers. I think I might just stay with a catback system. The car is fast enough and I dont plan on dumping to much into the performance of this car. I really just want something that is going to make the car a little meaner sounding.

Re: Exhaust

I just put on a Texas Speed rumbler catback on my car. Sounds good and CHEAP $199 good quality too. (old car sounded better though )

Re: Exhaust

In my opinion you get what you pay for.

Borla and LT Headers will give you a nice deep drone. That's what I have and I am happy with it. Exhaust sound is all opinion.

IMO Borla or stock.

Re: Exhaust

Borla's pretty overrated IMO. The system just looks weird to me. 1 pipe that exits without a muffler and one that does? How does it not sound like crap?

a bullet muffler and a 3" pipe will solve your little catback problem.

Because using the muffler is optional, those plates DO work. however, most people bypass the muffler.

Re: Exhaust

Yeah that would be great if you could let me know what you think when you get the system installed...

Re: Exhaust

Don't buy any cat-back system until you've heard the GMMG. It's not cheap, but it's something you'll appreciate every time you fire up the car.

Re: Exhaust

If all you want is a better exhaust tone and arn't concerned with upgradability, you could get a Dynomouth setup, which is just a Dynomax bullet muffler in your I pipe, a removal of the stock muffler, and a fabbed Y pipe connecting the rest of your exhaust.

16" bullet is $35 from Summit Racing, fab work i've heard is somewhere in the neighborhood of $100.

Then you can get tips and have them fab those in as well.
