My marvelous stock catback is disintegrating due to rust.. my right tip fell off
So, I figure it's probably time to get a new catback.

I _really_ like how my current setup sounds: Pacesetter long tubes + TSP catted ypipe + stock catback.
It's quiet (almost stock sounding) at idle / cruise.. and no rasp/drone/etc when accelerating. Very healthy sound.

Which catback would you guys recommend, for the setup above? I was thinking about the TSP rumbler, personally

But I'm not sure. How will it sound at idle / cruise / acceleration? And I notice that its not stainless steel.. will it rust badly? Will it disintegrate like the stock catback in a year or two?

Oh, and jrp. Before you start with the ..

I did search! I didn't find anyone running pacesetter + catted ypipe + tsp rumbler! honest!!

So yeah.. thanks for the input / suggestions

Hey i dont have the TSP rumbler but if your interest in buying one i know a guy that just took one off to put a borla on and he is selling his TSP rumbler with the smoked out tips. If you wont his name PM me. It sounded very good.

Can't help you with the sound with the Lt's and Y, but on mine (stock manifolds and Y) it does have a bit of drone @1800-2k rpm' it's not bad, and I can drown it out with the radio, @ idle it's louder than stock, but I don't find it much louder (no one has complained and I usually leave for work @ 4:45 am)
As for how long the aluminized pipes will last, my 87 Iroc has a dynomax cat back (aluminized pipe) has so far lasted since 95, and was a DD till Oct 02, and doesn't have a bit of rust on the pipes
Good luck with your cat back search

Anyone else ?

I'd really like to know what to expect from TSP Rumbler, from my setup

You must not have searched too hard because I have that exact setup... Pacesetters to TSP catted y-pipe, to TSP Rumbler.

Even before the cam, the car was LOUD... sounded good though, and even with just bolt-ons was a head turner due to the sound. Now with the cam, it sounds even nastier...

my car looks stock (except for the OEM Z06 wheels) so at the local gatherings, I don't get many looks by people who don't know my car, until I start the car up... Then every head whips around on a swivel.

My car is loud all the time... but I don't really know how much of that is due to the cam being there as well. It's loud at idle (enough that when I first installed my cam last year and started the car up, the neighbor across the street got mad), and it's loud enough at cruise I have to raise my voice a little when having a conversation.

No drone/raspy sounds though... the bullet muffler helps out a lot with that, as do the cats.

i have the exact same setup...where in north jersey are you...you can hear mine in person

i think it sounds like a trombone gone crazy above 2000 rpms...at least from the interior...i haven't hear it from the outside yet - only had the setup on for just over a week now

I just installed Pasesetters with the TSP catted Y with the Loudmouth. Its loud, really loud and mean. I dont really notice a lot more volume at idle and part throttle but when you hit it, it roars.
