Default Stainless works 3 1/2" catback

I've done a search but didn't find much.

Is anyone running this catback on an Fbody and how do you like it and whats it like?

I'm thinking about using it with a 427.

Thanks, it looks like the Catback fits in nice with no loss of ground clearence.

I'm surprised that I haven't heard many people using this Catback considering that it probly fits very close to stock and is likely one of the better flowing considering its 3 1/2".

Anyone else using this with good results?

I posted about this Cat Back a few months ago as well with zero results.

Viper, how was the install and fitment? How does the turbo muffler sound? loud, droney, etc.

Thanks,
Dan

How much is this cat back system???

I just ordered the Kooks 1 7/8" to 2" stepped race headers in stainless with 3 1/2" weld on collectors...this sytem should work pretty well with it...although I see it is a single muffler system, I wonder how mch this restrict flow?

Yeah, that seems like a lot for a simple one muffler cat back. For that much, i could get a used magnaflow SS 3" cat back exhaust ($200-$250) and a pair of QTECH 3 1/2" electric cutouts ($369 pr.), and get a custom Y-pipe made with dump tubes for the QTECH's!

$799, thats why I'm asking to see if your getting your moneys worth. Most high end catbacks are in the $700 range.

The 3" magnaflow is not comparable IMO this is 3 1/2".

Also cut outs are not an option nor relevent, I'm looking for a stock type high flow exhaust.

Is anybody else running this catback?

They installed it but it uses stock hanger locations and nice straps with rubber on the bolts. Sound is great, no drone at all and loud as heck at WOT with H/C and no cats. Cruising it sounds great, not too loud where you can't talk in the car. 304 stainless is why it's up there plus all the straps, bolts etc. Worth it.
