How is this done?

Real quick.. this is my first post outside of the new members section so I just wanted to say whats up. And forgive my n00b-ness from now until I get to know more about the LS1's. Now to the question..

How exactly do you get a very aggressive sound from a 99-02 Trans Am? As in very very loud and "lopey" or "chopy" or whatever. Like old-school muscle. For example I love these, specially the 1st one:

Full exhaust from headers cat back (etc) and some what of a large cam the cam is where your gonna get that lumpy/chopy sound, very noticable gains in preformance and sound if you do so....

And what numbers would you consider "large"? I need something thats gonna be BA but the car is gonna be my daily driver so it needs to be practical. I've never known what is considered a "large" cam # wise...

I've got 224/228 .591/.591 and I think the LSA is 112 but not sure. but It sounds decently lopey. At wide open throttle's where it sounds bad ass

only way to go in your case is true duals. if you really wanna have some balls then just run open headers....i do.

I was thinking about getting cutouts. Im sure there'll be time where I need a quiet-ISH car so thats why Im looking at them. Anybody have em?

**thecorrectformula** · 09-20-2007, 01:58 PM

You only need one cutout at the I pipe. I had one on my stock exhaust and I wanna get another one now that I have long tubes.

Just remember the good old saying "loud pipes save lives"

Oh damn thats right... Im still thinking Mustangs. My bad lol. So just one cut into the Y pipe? Thats how theyre installed right... you have to cut out a segment of your piping and weld it in?

True. Specially when you live in a town with 60% old Jews who'll back into your bumper when your car isn't even moving

Don't ask... lol

But loud pipes also cost money when you get tickets. Another thing about where I live is that a few of the cops are assholes that would pull you over for running a GREEN light haha. Thats where the cutouts would come in handy for me though
