Best Cat-Back System?
Hi. I im in the process of buying an intake/exhaust for my LS1. I was thinking of going with SLP Intake or K&N Intake and SLP or Bolra for exhaust. What are the best in each category? I live in California, so Catback is a must.

Depends on what you want...any intake lid will do, they're all pretty much the same. Here's a link to check out the diff sounds of the catbacks...with and w/o mods. http://ls1sounds.com/

I personally recommend the Magnaflow catback.
Not too expensive, flows well, and sounds great IMO.

I had the same problem here in Colorado, I asked the emissons guy, he said all he cares about is that I have all the emissions fittings and cats, ask the emissons people there, the only thing that matters is if the exhaust is clean enough

the bassani tru-duals will make more power than the borla. the bassani hooks to the factory 00-02 cats and goes over the axle to exit out the rear. so, that shuld meet all california requirements. here's the dyno i did comparing the borla and the bassani. pics of the system can be seen on my websites. just click the links in my sig.

I am pretty fond of my Borla. I like it cause with the long tubes it sounds bad ass and then if ne and the old lady have to take a road trip in my car I can cap it off and sound almost stock. Then she wont bitch too much!

I enjoy the Corsa exhaust, its well made and has a raw exhaust tone.

Kooks headers on with off road pipe. My SLP loudmouth was to loud and the sound was BAD real BAD. Had a Magnaflow installed sounds a hole lot better but which it was a tad louder at idle.

When the speed limit is 75 I will be doing somewhere between these two. Generally closer to 75.
