New LS1 Owners - Newbie Tech - Cat back question

so i have a 98z28 stock y-pipe and manifolds with cats and was wanting to know a catback that is a little louder than a magnaflow

pretty much every aftermarket catback is louder than magnaflow

Cutout's are pretty loud. Sew one into your i-pipe. It's cheap.

/thread

LM1, LM2, Hooker, Corsa, TSP Rumbler, etc., etc., will all be louder than the Magnaflow. What you have now is one of the most tame catbacks on the market. However, if you want to save money, you could definitely do a cutout, or just ditch your cats, doing either of those would make your car significantly louder and you might pick up a tad bit of power in the process.

your car is going to be pretty quiet with stock exhaust and a magnaflow catback. i even had longtubes and an ORY and magnalow catback and it was still kinda quiet but sounded good. installing a Raptr cam helped

i like my texas speed rumbler, its not super loud and sounds pretty good too. ive had maganaflow in the past

Anything really.. My buddy has Hooker... That seems to benthe quietest out there. And he was LTs and ORY... I have SLP LM1... awesome sound... Or BORLA... Another great exhaust.

just cut the catback off were it goes over the axle.. so that its just the stock y and cats then dumped over the axle.. i promise it wont be too loud.. i ran mine like that for months an my buddys has bee like that for over a year... sounds great.. deep and loud at WOT but not obnoxious...

Borla is my favorite. Its louder than my old magnaflow. Sounds better imo.

Borla is better than Magnaflow... No doubt

I personally was in the same boat a while ago but after putting my lt/ory on with my magnaflow it made it a bit louder and i live the sound. I think the fact that I have a 3600 stall makes it louder as well especially at cruising speeds.

Borla is loud as hell especially with LT headers

i agree with what was said above until i get my full exhaust ive been running stock manis cats. running a pipe into a bullet muffler dumped before the axle nice deep rumble but at wot pretty loud

^^^ I wouldnt run that...

^^ same as an SLP LM1. Sounds fine to me.

Damn I might just run no muffler and save like 400 bucks, there was really no point in me buying a magnaflow it was a waste of money it just changed the sound didn't really make it louder at all lol....but question wouldn't that let exhaust all up in the car since it's not running all the way to the back of the car?

just cut the stock catback off run a bullet muffler dumped before the axle you wont be dissapointed

if you have the dual tip magnaflow I will trade you my Borla adj catback for it. I have been wanting to quiet my car down some anyways.

i would have but the guy who is doing my muffler delete and welding the stock tips back on is doing the work and welding for the magnaflow that i have on to put on his 98 formula. And im not the type to go back on an agreement or id tell him to fuck off and trade with you lol

^^^ idk bout that. I'm also talkn bout having the pipe just go over axle and end like that... I wana pipes on the rear end. That's just me.. I run SLP LM1 with CME.

then have someone weld pipes coming out the back... IMHO camaros look awful with any tips coming out the back... and it has a similar tone to a LM1 but not quite as loud. The LM1 muffler is designed to make a car louder than straight pipe...

I think a car with no tips is like a girl with no tits. Camaros look good with nicely done tips.

just did that shit and its louder than i thought it would be lol sounds good though, might just get the tips welded on and say fuck it and spend my money on something else

HAHA told you it would.. its loud but not annoyingly loud. the Cats quiet it down just enough to make it sound nice

^^^ I agree with Rambo here
