tired of being asked if its a 6 cylinder

[transamgirl89]

So i just bought a 2001 ss off an old guy up the road. It has 14000 miles and looks gorgeous not a single scratch on the whole car, but every car show i go to when i roll in , i get asked if its a 6 cylinder i cant take how quiet the stock exhaust is . . . . . . so im asking whats the best way to get great sound but not having to take out a loan haha.... please help

well you can do what I did and get a new exhaust system put in and install a cut out. Mine sure turns heads and it IS a V6 but that cut out sure sounds nice. Another thing you can do is dump the exhaust before the rear axle.

Just for shits, if you're(BOWDOWNSS) interested in what it sounds like with no muffler, heres a short video of my car with said modification(stock y with no cats and exhaust cutoff before rear axle).

well that sounded like shit but it was from the inside of the car. Maybe it sounded better outside.

Just consider it a sleeper V6 with a ss hood and spoiler...lol.

+1

There is no way to F that up... I can understand mixing up a Z and a V6 at first glance... but not an SS.

Word... SS hood is a dead giveaway... No question end of story... Must have some dumb people where you live.



And no question here.. Duals dumped before the axle 231/237... No question if mine is a V6 or not period.

My 02 currently has LT's, no cats and true duals with an X-pipe using Magnaflow mufflers all turned out (45* towards the wheels from straight down) before the axle. It sounds mellow at idle and AWSOME at WOT.

This coming from someone who thinks an aftermarket exhaust and a cutout sounds good on a 6 banger.

I'll take my chances. I just found what she said amusing.

You can't even compare the GMMG to a SLP catback. If you have the cash go with the GMMG. I did and love it.

I agree. This is the best sounding exhaust for an F-body that I have ever heard.

GMMG>SLP for sound, yes. I currently have GMMG on my car, had Borla previously. I preferred the Borla over GMMG. Everyone is going to have a differing opinion of what "sounds" the best.

first time i've ever heard that



for the price i agree

From a sound standpoint, I liked the Borla better. From an appearance standpoint, the GMMG allowed me to go CME. It was a tradeoff.

I dont know i love chambered exhausts they are awesome

agreed, the only thing bad I can say about the borla is the price and that I don't think its loud enough (I solved that problem by getting rid of the borla muffler )

[hoosierSS02]

I was thinking either the slp catback with 4 inch tips or the gmmg chambered catback

you can scare the hell out of someone not expecting it with either. loudmouth will certainly do the trick for pretty cheap... had that set up on my previous 2 ls1s, absolutely loved it. Have GMMG now w/the berger pkg and it sounds even better and meaner that hell, but you're going to shelling out a lot more $$$ for it as someone else eluded to.

just in terms of sound, the main difference i have noticed is that the gmmg doesn't backfire like the LM used to when you would come off of the gas. also, the LM can sometimes sound more like a cutout than a catback. that really didnt bother me tho.

Open headers

Ha! I like your answer bro......tonight I finally started up my Z after a 3 month upgrade project........anyways i fired it up with open headers!!! I think I woke my entire neighborhood up and raised the dead at the same time!!lol

i just put on the LM1 catback on my Z28 a few weekends back. It sounds NICE and it is LOUD. Definitely lets you know it has a V8. And its cheap. i got mine for $386.96 and installed it in 3-4 hours. But if you get headers forget about it, way too raspy, go with magnaflow in that case, although they are more expensive.

[joedude02]

my borla catback sounds awesome!! i highly recommend it!
