Carbureted LSX forum - Open or Closed exhaust??

I have a carb setup on my ls6.. I have AFR heads and a pretty aggressive cam. Im about to install an exhaust system and debating if I should even run cut outs?? I seen some numbers where open systems do make more peak power, but loose low end torque. Issue with those numbers is that they dynoed older motors... I couldnt find any numbers with an LS series. What do you guys think would be better. Right now the cars open, sounds nice n crisp, but waaaaay too loud. Cant sneak out at night with out the wife waking up. Any input would be greatly appreciated. gratzi

oh also I have dougs long tube headers, and a Holley HP carb. Dont know if yall need any more info, but if you do just ask, i will gladly forward all info.

So....

Nobody cares?

:bomb:

I have a cutout and love the convenience of adjusting the sound. You cannot go wrong with it IMO. Would only consider the electric ones for even more convenience.

I had one on my truck,Lt's into 3in off-road y-pipe into 3.5in collector..right after the collector was my 3.5in cut out..felt like it had more low end,and less top end..but it's also a 5,800lb 4wd tank!

Dual 3 inch with bullets dumped is just right for me.

For a Street car you gotta get both banks together to promote scavenging whether it be an H, X, Y to a single or a "Beaudacious" X they have to help each other out. Plus getting them together cuts down on alot of noise so you can creep around without the cops or your wife bugging you
Beaudacious

I dont put them together, that is no needed, t is optional and can help if it is right.
