Default Got my 2002 Firehawk today

My dream car realized. Dyno said 358 at the rear wheels.
Came with the following:

Pacesetter Long tube Headers
Texas Speed True Dual exhaust system
Motive Performance Gears, 4.10:1 Gear Ratio
Pro50 Pro 5.0 Shifter For T-56
SLP Bilstein Shock Package
Spec Stage 2+ Clutch
SPEC Performance Aluminum Flywheel
BMR Fabrication Lower Springs

Custom Throttle Body porting
Texas Speed Torquer 2 cam 232/234 duration, .595/.598 lift
PRCSpringKit PRC .675' Dual Valve Spring Kit complete with seats, seals, and retainers
Texas Speed & Performance 7.40 Chromemoly Pushrod
LS6PortedPump Texas Speed & Performance Ported & Shimmed LS6 Oil Pump
Rollmaster Single-Roller Non-Adjustable Timing Set
MSD 8.5mm Spark Plug Wires
Lethal Performance Stage 2 Transmission
New NITTO 555 Tires

Here's the money shot:





Now to the point. The true duals are way loud. I'm going to extend the pipes that currently vent exhaust under the car right under the rear seat. What is a good muffler that will let me keep my 400hp but not attract every cop in san antonio to my position?

Awesome car majorityrls. Magnaflows are sweet sounding, there's not much better IMO.

Btw, cam specs for the TSP torquer V2 are 232/234 duration, .595/.598 lift

I like it a lot, doesn't **** my neighbors off at 5:30 am during startup but sounds damn nice at WOT, also flows pretty well. Enjoy

R6cowboy, thanks for the cam specs.

xx-z28-xx, That is exactly what I wanted to hear. What mufflers did you end up going with?

232/234 cam should he around 400rwhp give or take 10 with variables and tune. I would get a good dyno tune.

Car looks great n

It was dyno tuned on friday. At this point I'm still settling into the car. Tires keep tearing loose with the power it has now. 400rwhp sounds good and I might shoot for that later but for now 358 is more then enough to get my heart racing.

you sure that is a firehawk,cause it has trans am front bumper with superhawk outlaw hood....i think by the way the hood fits ,it looks like an authentic roger us exotics hood and not the ebay hood post pics of the underside of that hood and i will tell you as i have a superhawk that is mbm.if you do have a authentic outlaw hood, youve struck gold cause that hood is the most desired and worth huge money,only 100 in existence and super light,strong,best fitting and the meanest.
