I love the Random Tech catback. Its overlooked by most people on this board. Straight through muffler, screams at WOT. I use that with hooker LTs and a 2.5" y-pipe

 

I think for pure raw loud f-you sound I'd go with open tpis headers but for the street I'd run it w/ there y-pipe w/ the random cats into some sweet looking and sounding corsa's. By far this has to be one of the most expensive setups but it's my dream setup that I'm sure will sound incrediable.


...and DrivinSidewayz please send me a sound clip I'm dying to hear what those flp's into the corsa sound like!!!!

 

I have 1 5/8th MAC shorties, with an off road pipe and a Flowpath muffler! It is MAC front to back!! And it sound AWESOME!!!! Everyone tells me how good it sounds. It's loud but not annoying loud or tinny sounding!!!

 

I'm pretty happy with my setup:

Sounds "just right" to me....

 

everyone loved the sound of my car, but it might not qualify as complete!

3" flowmaster american thunder WITHOUT the muffler. sounds sweet, alittle noisy at idle but sounds mean as hell

 

I've been through several different exhaust setups and I am now completely satisfied.

FLP headers w/ cats
SLP 2OTL

 

Yeah, I haven't noticed too many people running them. I think it may be a price thing though, I paid something like $580 for mine, stainless steel of course.

I get a lot of compliments at the track and have a couple vids at home, and it does sound pretty nice.

I'll try to get a vid of it now that i have the head/cam setup on it. It sounds awesome, and hasn't gotten raspy like some do with a h/c setup.

 

i was thinking of hooker LTs in the future myself. r there specific y-pipes that will fit with them or do they usually need to be custom fabricated??

 

I realize that the Flowmasters don't flow very well compared to other mufflers, but is this mainly because the f-body mufflers are the "crossflow" variety where the exhaust doesn't really pass straight through the muffler like it does on a single in/out. If you were to go true dual with H pipe, and single in/out 40 series, would this combo flow as well as other mufflers would with the same setup?

This is my setup.
Jet Hot LT's
Hooker Y-Pipe
Magnaflow Cat-back

my headers and y-pipe aern't here/installed yet, but I definately like the sound of the magnaflow catbac. Not too loud not too quiet. Should sound nice with the heads/headers/cam.

 

oh wow does corsa sound good w/ LT's....i know i love my set-up and wont change it ever. just go to www.corsaperf.com and listen to the sounds

 

I have Hooker LTs, Mufflex y-pipe and the Magnaflow catback, and I love it.

The Hooker cat-back sounds very nice as well, but I'll admit to being partial.

Oh, the Edelbrock cat-back sounds good but is way too loud for my tastes..

Anyway... Here are sound clips from my Magnaflow setup...

They were ALL recored from the same position relative to the rear of the car, one totally stock, one stock manifolds/y-pipe with Magnaflow catback, and one Hooker LT's, ORY and Magnaflow catback. This gives you an excellent idea of how the sound changes as you change the overall exhaust system.

Make sure you play the stock exhaust file first and get the volume set, as it REALLY lets you hear the difference with the others.


On to the files:

Stock Exhaust

This one was done the same day as the stock one, but RIGHT AFTER the shop installed my catback.
Magnaflow Catback with stock manifolds and y-pipe

6 1/2 months later, 2 weeks after header install.
Hooker Long Tubes with Mufflex y-pipe (no cats) and Magnaflow catback

Hope this helps you make a decision.

 

Hooker Lts,Mufflex Y,SLP 2OTL.One nasty sounding mother on the pipe.

 

Anyone running duals with TPiS long tubes? How do you like it?
