are cat-backs worth it?

[TmaxicanA]

already having the factory WS6 SLP exhaust i do not know of anymore power gains with a cat-back system.
headers are installed and i have a noticeable gain in power
i was not sure if finishing the exhaust system would be worth spending 400-800$ to gain what some say to be 5-10 whole HP
thank you in advance

[blackhawk01]

i say true duals man..you cant go wrong and you can always change the sound that you want later on down the road..not only that but they are mean as hell

[TmaxicanA]

how much does a true dual set-up cost?
and i also am not a fan of very loud exhaust sounds i like a nice some what quite idle and a nice tone to my acceleration

[basballny2]

yes, an aftermarket catback is worth it, if you already have the LT's get magnaflow, amazing sound, give you around 8 RWHP, and get those headers tuned if you havent yet and youll be looking at around 20-25 RWHP

[basballny2]

rhe magnaflow is nice and deep but "quiet" compared to other systems at idle but sounds great at WOT

[TmaxicanA]

really? magna-flow?
doe anyone have a sound clip of magna-flows on an ls1?

and i am waiting on the tune till march or so when heads and cam are here

[basballny2]

ls1sounds.com, personally i dont like listening to exhausts online because they WILL sound different in person, if you want go on youtube and look up MR. Luos, he has magnaflow and a bunch of clips up there

[TmaxicanA]

ack, magnas are rather expensive.
thanks for the help..so up to 8HP...hmm 800$
1HP=100$ ouch

Magna Flow is what I have on my car. I love the sound and the fact that it's all stainless steel. It has a low deep mellow tone when cruising, and nice deep rumble when you open it up. I bought the whole system for $350 through a GP on LS1 Tech.

[TmaxicanA]

oh wow, that's a college friendly price.
that's much better than 800$ from there site><

[TmaxicanA]

thanks for the link and info sinister.
i'll look at getting that in a few weeks

[SINISTER-TA]

No problem man.

The Factory Exhaust on a WS6 is NOT from SLP.
`96-7 LT1 cars could get the optional DOTL or the Dual Dual for 97 cause those cars were converted by SLP.
The 98+ LS1 cars were done by ASC.

We need to know what you have
Hint;
The factory exhaust will have a single round 2.5" polished tip in each side

go to texas speeds website they have a cheep true dual set up. if you get it make sure you get it with bullits! you wont be sorry!
