The million dollar question

Will I ever be happy with my exhaust!?

Lets see the progression...
in chronological order its been
1. Flowmaster replacement.
2. Cutout w/ 1.
3. Mac Midlengths, ORY, w/ 1 and 2.
4. True duals over the axle with 2 flowmaster mufflers and #3.
5. Throw a pair of carsound cats on #4.
6. Now I have a pair of bullets on order to replace the flowmasters.... maybe now i can be done... lol... Till I get QTP headers

How many times have you all changed your exhausts?

twice for me. When I first bought the cr the Flowmaster cat back and a cutout was probably the first thing I did. 2 years later I got bored with it and slapped on a set of LT's and a custom Y pipe.

Number 3 is comming this winter... hmmmm lets see. I think a set of bullets hanging off of the headers will enough. (trying to be weight friendly ) or maybe just a turndown only bolted to the header flange. Any thoughts?

stock, then stock with a 40series flowy, then a borla+edelbrock TES+ !cat, and finally my favorite, edelbrock TES + !cat + flowy 1chamber. it was a short system that ended in a turn down jsut before the rear axle. sounded mean as hell and was about 40-45lbs lighter than anythign else that was ever on teh car

later

2x. But only cause my first rotted off. I had bought it for the tips, but it was off a car driven in the winter.

I really don't see a reason to changing exhaust. 3 inch is big enough for anybody, and really, afterall- it's just an exhaust.

I'm personally (and i suspect are most people who keep changing) looking for the tone i want.. not the power... If i wanted power I'd have a supercharger lol

I just helped my friend put in some Kooks long tubes in his LS1 and they slid in like butter. I would highly recomend you get those.

Went from stock to loudmouth. Install was a breeze on my bro-in-law's lift. Couldn't be happier with it.

SLP Long Tubes, 3" Straight Pipes, Flowmaster catback and my god it sounds lovely... Ive gotten compliments left and right, and EVERYONE so far with FLP headers and similar cat back systems say the SLP's sound better

Once for me. Bought the car with a flowmaster muffler installed. Changed to my ASM/Random Tech Cat & Cat back setup.

I will however within the next 2-3 weeks be moving to an ORP with a cutout for the full effect.
