ok im new at this but my stock exhaust has to go, all i have done to it is put a 80 series flowmaster on it with tips but its not as loud and great sounding as i want it, im a little confused on what to get i hope you guys could help me out. what adds more hp true duals or Y pipe? and what is better since i live in indiana the weather sucks but i dont drive my car in the snow so sould i get long tubes or shorties? i bascally want a sound that is loud adds a great amount of hp for not so much $$$, i heard mangaflow???? is good but i need alot of replys so give them to me. thanks

 

Well, the setup I am going to run is edelbrock headers which i have now, magnaflow high flow cat, and borla or magnaflow exhaust. I would love to run true duals, but its not worth it to end up failing emissions. One day I will go with the true duals...yes one day...

 

before i switched to hooker long tubes and mufflex i had mac mid lengths mac off road pipe and flowmaster american thunder real nice sound not too loud nice part is mac sells a bolt in cat that switches between the off road pipe and cat real nice for emissions if and when you might get them

 

I'd go with Hooker (or jet hot) Longtube headers, Hooker 3" Y, and a Hooker 3" catback system, LT1s sound nice thru that setup.

 

I'd advise the Magnaflow cat-back over the Hooker cat-back for both sound (JMO) and because the Magnaflow is stainless steel where the Hooker cat-back is aluminized...

 

Do what I did :-P check out my sig, its LOUD though, if you like that nascar type sound. I do

 

haha just run open headers everywhere...your neighbors will LOVE it...!!!

who needs a Y pipe?

 

If I am not mistaken Indiana does not have emissions so you are good to go, I think. Anyways go with Hooker or Jet hot longtubes and make sure to get them coated. Running true duals is cheaper than any catback system except the cutout which only costs about $35. If you dont want true duals then hooker sounds good with the headers. But my vote is for true duals with x-pipe.

 

I love my setup everybody tells me how great it sounds jet hot lt's ,mufflex y-pipe into hooker catback

 

thanks guys that helped me out alot i guess i am going with a Y pipe just incase but no i need to deside what adds that most hp longtubes or shorties?

 

Good Long tube headers will put down 15-20 more rwhp than a set of shorties.

 

Jet-Hot Lt's with true duals would be redicuously loud. Now if that's what you're looking for..... I personaly have Jet Hot LT's witha Flowmaster 40 series muffler. It's just short of being obnoxious with that set-up. I was actually considering insalling the Corsa system to quiet it down and remove some vibrations from the system.
Anyow, I have a friend with Hooker Lt's and true duals runnng through an X-pipe on his LS1 Trans-Am. It's loud. The type of loud that will **** your neighbors off after 10PM and have every cop in town looking at you when you pass by. It's even more amplified on an LT1.
