[B]I am apt to go along with IDOXLR8. American V8? Probably so, but sounds like one in a dump truck. Just MHO. I prefer refinement over raw.

 

I have loudmouth on mine and I have gotten nothing but compliments about it. Everybody, including import guys and mustang guys, loves the sound of it. I vote for LM

 

I was curious to know if anyone has ever used the Edelbrock cat back. I have been looking for one, and I like the sound of the edelbrock, and it is relatively the same as the rest of the systems as far as construction. I have a sound clip of it, they do not have horsepower claims, but I know that E-brock is a respectable company, and if anyone can give me any input, that would be great (and please don't tell me to get a cutout, the car only sees the track a couple of times a year).

Also, if anyone can tell me how to post a sound clip, that would be great.

 

i think with long tubes, and no cat, the LM sounds like complete AZZZ.

 

My buddy has the Edlebrock catback and it sounds nice. It's a very deep mellow tone. Not raspy at all. It's also a reasonable price for a catback.

 

so long tubes with strait pipes sound ****ty? I heard an ls1 like that which sounded terrible but figured it might be different on the lt1... I just like the idea of it being as free flowing as possible and a muffler is a restriction but if it sounds like ****....

 

The thing with the LM is sure it is deep as hell, but it reseambles a truck's exhaust. Which is absolutely horrid on a car. If you are like me you want an exhaust that is very clean sounding. You don't want import crowds to like it, because I haven't heard a clean import exhaust yet, all they like is loud. When I was looking for an exhaust, I was looking for a starting point and work outward from there. I wanted the cleanest sound I could get with a deep sound to it also. LM is loud, but clean it is not. If money is the factor, screw catbacks all together and get a $30 cut out. Louder than any catback, more hp, and alot cheaper. As a bonus if you go on long trips you can plug it up and have the stock sound again.

My exhaust vids are in my sig. I'll make some new ones now where i can actually get on it. One of those videos in car i couldnt really get on it cause my clutch was slipping bad.

 

Listen for yourself. Im running Longtubes, 3in y-pipe into a 3in cutout (straight pipes). Clips in sig.

 

That Borla with the Electronic cutout is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. While the Borla exhaust may be a little pricey, it IS clean. Very clean. And with neat little 007 style tricks like that...I'm thinking I've just decided on my next purchase.

 

Here's a vote for the hooker It sounds killer w/ LT's

 

Well I am going to be the odd ball out of the group...I have American Thunder Series II Flowmaster exhaust, and it sounds bad a$$! Everywhere I go...they car sounds good...what is it? I say Flowmaster and they are like....what? This is Borla and doesn't sound as good as Flows. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking on anyones Borla set-up....but for 600 bucks! All your doing is paying for stainless steel! Personally...Iknow if your going to do something right the first time...do it. But I can not see paying that much money for a cat-back. A lot of the F-bodies around where I live have changed over to Flows. I know of three that just bought Flows in the past 4 months. But it just comes down to experimenting which one that youlike personally...not what everyone else has. I just thought I would be the odd ball since nobody ever talks about Flowmaster....its the same as everything else...3" I-pipe, not stainless steel...but the price is 280 in Summit Racing!

 

The biggest problem with Flowmaster is you don't get much of a hp increase. It flows absolutely horrible. That is why we call it the Flowlessmaster. Plus it like to pop quite a bit.

 

That is not true. I know plenty of people running good number with flowmasters.

 

Hey Robbie, does your car still have teh stock cat on it or is it a strait pipe?
