and it is the BEST sounding exhaust ive ever heard. i know you heard me say i wish my car sounded like a mustang with dumps, uh uh, not anymore. after four catbacks i finally got the sound i want and it is badass

louder than before at idle, in fact idle is pretty damn loud, but it is quiter than before at 1300 and up, even wide open. no rasp at all, very smooth sounding. makes the cam sound much more prevelant. i love it

heres some pics

ground clearance is about .5" less cause of the cutouts, but it all tucks up very nicely and there is plenty of room

ive very satisfied

sound clips later

i'm a moron. so now that i said that... why is one side of the "y-pipe" cap't off and doesn't running the pipes back together lose the benefits of dual exaust?

p.s. sorry i'm an idiot but i have to ask

are you talking about the black cutouts? those are so you can just take the 3 wing nuts off and run open headers at like the track (or street if you wanted). i guess thats what you're talking about.

on each side of the ypipe there is a cutout, so i can uncap them in about 2 minutes and run open headers

as for the benefit of duals, the only real benefit is scavanging from an x or h pipe, and a well designed ypipe will do the same

since it is a dual 3" inlet and 3.5" outlet, i wont lose any flow

thanks. yeah i was asking about the black things. sorry i'm an idiot but you learn something new everyday.

that is a very ingenius idea!! what are the gains (in hp or other wise)?

not sure yet

1st and 2nd are basically useless so ill have to get some dyno or track time so see gaines over old exhaust and with cutout

oh yeah 96 WS6, i talked to the exhaust guy and he said he would charge 50-70 to put my old exhaust on another car just to give you an idea

Ok thanks i can do with that. Now ur old exhaust is it dumped like ur new one or does it go back over the axle into the muffler then out both sides.

No rasp huh? Never heard a modded LS1 without it. Bet when it hits 2300 its sounds like there is something missing hehe

Ryan,

How is it under normal driving with that dump. Is it annoying at all like at freeway speeds? Looks great though!

Tally TransAm
12-27-2003, 12:24 PM
normal driving is great, i find myself shifting at higher rpms than before cause i used to shift when i heard rasp and now it isnt there

highway is quiter

12-27-2003, 02:14 PM
how much from start to finish? I am sick of how loud mine is on the highway so I may change mine out.

Tally TransAm
12-27-2003, 02:28 PM
almost 500, like 480

listen to it first before you decide because it is damn loud at idle

Jericho574
12-27-2003, 03:34 PM
