Just purchased the catback system for my 96z28. I thought id get some of your opinions on the catback itself, ie.performance, quality, sound.

Thanks

 

The edelbrock was the first catback system I installed and it was
a noticable improvement. Sound was mellow which is typical of a
straight through style muffler. I eventually wanted more sound so
I replaced the muffler with a flowmaster. Since then I have replaced
everything with a 2.5" true dual system.

 

Yes I know this thread is VERY old, but I wanted to revive it because there's no need to create more exhaust threads

I have been unable to figure this out on my own, I figure somebody who has either a) owned the system or b) knows for sure, can answer for me.

What style is the exhaust tips/tailpipes on the 93-95 (or whatever lt1) Edelbrock catbacks?

Are they the dual/dual, like the Hooker/loudmouth (one of the versions anyway), or are they dual straight tips, like the flowmaster/loudmouth slash tips.

Any definite answer is much appreciated. thanks!

 

Edelbrock's website lists it as "Camaro/Firebird 93-95 5.7L single catalytic converter 3" in - dual 2-1/2" out #5674 "

 

I've had mine for years. It's a single 3in to 2 1/2 dual out and the Tips were turned down. It does not (did not) include chrome tips or anything.

 

Yeah i read the description on their site, but they list several tips as well, I wasn't sure.

However, you are saying that you can still see these turndowns, or are they hidden under the bumper, a la fox body mustang?

basicaly, they're not straight out like, say, Flowmasters are?

Thanks!

 

Not many things I would buy from edelbrock. Their system isn't SS as far as I know. I would go for something SS like a borla. If money is an issue, jegs sells the magnaflow SS catback for 93-97 f-body's for about 330 shipped to you.

 

Hmm, I wasn't aware of that.

Money is an issue, I'd like to keep it under 350. Stainless would be nice I guess, but damn man, magnaflow has 4inch tip!

But thanks for the info, magnaflow is stainless, true.

 

The magnaflow is really nice. I'm running it on mine. Has an awesome sound, not crazy loud. It is complete SS and has 3.5" ss tips. They look killer.

It is SS and comes with a lifetime warrenty. I love my edelbrock catback and would highly reccomend it. It has a nice smooth mellow sound, but at WOT it really starts to scream. I went with this system because it has a lifetime warrenty, it tucks up under my rear bumber, and because it looks like the stock exhaust with the two turndown tips.

 

Woops, I wasnt aware they had an SS system for the LT1. I thought only the tips were SS and the rest was aluminized.

 

I've had the Edlebrock for a couple years now...no problems and people think the car sound REAL good...I don't drive mine in the rain or snow so it doesn't get daily driver abuse but like I said no problems...

 

Awesome, guys.

So the tips ARE visible from the rear? I think it looks good when you can see the tips, I don't want them hidden or anything.

 

Confirmation of the tips' visibility from the rear of the car?

Thanks!
