headers and true duals?

[Thermal Izod]

i'll look into that.....last time i was at a local shop here i wanted a 3" turn down tip bent and cut from straight pipe, and they wanted $30 each....its a $4 part at auyozone, lol...

who makes the ones we have on here?

Pypes Exhaust.

I'm thinking that sometime in the near future I'll do full length headers, a custom 2/5" X-pipe kit, and turn it out the sides befor ethe rear wheels....Question now is, what kind of mufflers do I need to tone down that kind of aggressive exhaust?  I don't mind some growl, esp when you get into the throttle, but I def DO NOT want another vehicle that wakes up my kids, and neighborhood, when I leave in the morning.  So I'd need a pair of cost effective, quiet mufflers to bring headers, no cats, and an x-pipe into more of a "catback" kinda range...Any suggestions?  I'm not really a muffler guy, and my f-body has a NASCAR style header-xpipe-out the sides 3" setup that rocks the whole county when I start it up...

haha i want everyone to know when im leaving my neighborhood

I hear ya, I thought it was funny too...I never have a problem w/ a "noise competition" with neighbor's music or atv's or anything (they know they will lose), but it does wake my son up at 5am from time to time, and I hate that...  I'm trying to aviod that level of obnoxiousness this time around...No need for it to sound like bill elliot leaving for work that early anymore...It was fun for a time though ;-)  That said, Dynomax Super Turbo's?  are they one of the more quiet ones out that?  I've used Flowmaster deltaflow 50 series on a v6, and it was barely louder than stock, but I'm a little tired of the generic flowmaster sound...

[bigblue09]

haha. srew my neighbors, none of them like me anyways.  lol. but i have read about the dynomax turbos. they are supposed to be high performance quiet mufflers from what i have read.

Your best bet is to go to an exhaust shop and do a cash deal.

I second this opinion...this is what I did.  Long tube headers that I reused (3" collectors) into 3 inch high flow cats (I bought off of ebay) into flowmasters super 40's 3inch intake and outlet to 3 inch tail pipes.  True dual 3 inch all the way and this thing is LOUD.  All for around 300 dollars.

Well if that's the case

Them some SeriouslyEVIL sounding muffs(Check out their Video Sound Clip section)   Some buddies of mine absolutely Love them, and usually go for their Pro-Streets/Sportsmans....  Trust me when I say that I wouldn't run them without good Weatherstriping, and Plenty of Dyno-Mat Style Sound Deadener   After while the Drown can get ridiculous on long trips   NASCUR(<Not wanting to pay any Royalties ) ain't got nothing on SpinTechs

i was actually looking for a QUIETER muffler for a true dual....

Dynomax are quiet at idle.

Do you have emissions? The cheapest kit would be the one sold on here which is the x pipe, and mufflers, and then to buy long tube headers from a place like summit.

I have emissions, but i would consider doing it all myself so i could ditch the cats anyway if i knew how hard it was. Anyone know how hard it is to install a set of long tubes, and install the x pipe in a home garage?

[JJSZABO]

Why ditch the Cats?  You can get some decent flowing Cats and hold polution to a minimum.  I can understand if this is for the strip or track - but for a daily driver I would still use cats...

[Skunksmash]

Well i assume that cats restrict exhaust flow, at least a little bit.

Well i assume that cats restrict exhaust flow, at least a little bit.

Pre-'94 factory cats were restrictive, but '94 and later really weren't  all that bad, unless they were starting to or were clog(60-100,000 miles)... 

With that said, you can get High-Flow aftermarkets that offer little to no restrictions, even at an affordable cost when you go with a Universal(most of which you can get for $50-100 each, if you shop around)...
