Like I said I would check before dropping any cash.
At an inspection they do more than listen to the car.

Yes no cats make a car a little bit louder, mainly a bit more "raspy", and can cause your car to exhaust to drone, pop, etc...

 

I know it will get louder, but I mean will it get like LM loud? My friend has that and its freakin loud!!

Dynomax Ultra Flow? Never heard of that cat back... any clips?

I'm a big fan of Magnaflow... sounds sick as hell!!

I want a nice sounding exhaust, but not overwhelming because I live in a city type atmosphere and I need to keep the noise level to a minimum when I drive at night. So many decisions!! But I definitely want LT's because of the power gains... no questions asked. Its just improvising with what I got. A lower, but better sounding cat! :-)

 

I absolutely love my pacesetters.....easy *** install, and the gains are awesome.

 

I don't believe dynomax makes a catback system for our cars. Mine is a combination of a mandrel bent flow master system with the muffler cut off and the dynomax welded in. It's 3" in and dual 3" out where the flow was 3" in and dual 2.5" out. Also, since it's a straight through system, you can look down the muffler and see the ground. You can definately tell that it's not very restrictive, the driver side tip has mega exhaust volume and the passenger side is quite a bit less. I lost a little power on the low end, but picked up alot on the big end by switching, and it sounds better than the flowmaster.

Ps. I'm not using LT headers, I've got macs with their off road y pipe and my exhaust doesn't pop or crackle or anything. It sounds totally bad *** with the 224/236 cam I just stuck in.

 

How does this sound?

Pacesetters LT's... Hooker Y, Dynomax Muffler?

Think that will all connect?

 

You need the 02 sensors.
They tell the PCM how the fuel is burning so it can make adjustments.

 

I'm not sure where they go... does the affect the installation of the Header, y, and muffler?

I'm still unsure if the what I asked will still work together. The Pacesetters, Hooker Y, and Dynomax Muffler...

 

Actually, they are VERY different IMO. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the Hooker long tubes are "tuned" headers in that all the tubes are the same length from the head to the collector. However, the Pace Setter headers just take the shortest path to the collector. How much difference it makes I have no idea... maybe somebody can chime in here and give you some input that knows. But, anyway, take a look at the pics again and you'll see how the Hookers are curved and bent and such were as the Pace Setter headers have as straight of shot as you can get back to the collector.

 

ive always been told that straight is better, and you want the exhaust to exit as fast as posible. i dont know how correct this is, its just what i was told.

 

I don't think Hookers or Jet-Hots are equal length headers

 

I think the differences are nominal.

When buying LT's you typically look for price, build quality, ease of install, ground clearance, and customer service.

Pretty much all long tubes dyno about the same +/- a couple HP.

 

the "drag style" headers have no emmisions hook up(egr,air). My pacesetters are on the way, they will be here thurs!! I can't wait.

 

I didn't measure them so maybe not exactly equal length but it is obvious that Hooker tried to at least get close by the way they bend/curve around the shorter pipes

 

I have heard the hooker lt's are a pita to install. I have also heard that the pacesetter lt's are easier. What is it that makes them easier to install?

 

You guys are on your own topic...!!

You think what I suggested will work together? Or do I need the Pacesetter y Pipe in specific?
