Im thinking about doing hooker headers with electronic cutout with a catted texas speed y pipe and my corsa catback on my 2000 trans am ws6. Should i do this or should i do straight pipes? Whats better? This car is a daily driver, so i need to make sure i dont mess anything up. I am going to get the tune to get rid of the o2 codes if i get straight pipes because its illegal to not have cats.

I would just get the cut out. When you say straight pipes do you mean the lm1 or true straight pipes? Either way the corsa is a good system thats just too expensive to ditch. Cut out ftw.

i was thinkin true duals. and ya corsa is really nice, just not loud enough for me.

true dual with no cats will sound real good but will be loud, maybe the TSP true duals?

I run hooker stainless lt's, ORY, DMH cutout and the corsa. That way I get the best of both. Still get the nice sound of the corsa and I can dump it and be loud at the flip of a switch.

will the electronic cutout give me the same sound as true duals will?

No...it will sound like open y pipe, and that's LOUD and raspy, although I loved running open y pipe for a day.

I think this thread shows why the Borla Adjustable catback is brilliant -- cutout built-in! ;-)

y pipe with cutout= sounds terrible but performs
straight pipe (no mufflers) = sounds BEYOND terrible, but should still perform
true duals with nice mufflers = sounds like pure sex and performs

I love the sound of an ls1 w/ no mufflers. I know most people dont like the loudmouth but I like it more than any exhaust I have heard.

Your sig says you have a catted Y. That makes it sound a lot different.

LM1 with lt, no cats = pure rasp, high pitch loud, and under load at cruise sounds like a boat/Cessna plane

(sounds great inside the car though)

+1 on this setup. I have a Flowmaster catback instead of a Corsa, but the theory is the same. The LT's + ORY + cutout can supply the volume and if you keep the cutout only partially open, it will push the exhaust through the catback to supply a nice tone. You get all of the benefits (primarily the volume) of the cutout without all of the rasp.

Here's an exhaust clip -- sorry the camera quality stinks!
