hey everyone,

I am having to put a new catback on my car b/c I have to tone it down some due to the fact that i am moving and the place i am moving has regulations on sound levels.

So i was thinking about putting an SS exhaust on my car b/c i can pick one up for very cheap and I will just add a cutout to use as needed.

edit: it is the dual exit exhaust and not the single tip. Also, it does utilize 3 inch piping doesnt it?

I was just wondering what the SS exhaust sounds like with an ORY and a mild cam. Couldnt find anything on ls1sounds.com

Thanks

I have stock catback with Pacesetter LT's and ORY, stock cam. I think it sounds pretty good. Quiet, but deep at idle, a little louder when I get on it. It does get raspy if I floor it when it's at around 2000 rpm or so, but I think sounds good the rest of the time. Don't know how much different your cam will make it sound, I'd say do it.

I was thinking about selling my stock SS catback. I wonder what they are going for...

The stock SS exhaust is going to have a deep, slightly louder than normal idle. When driving, it's extremely quiet. Even under load, you'll hear more engine noise than exhaust. Super quiet, super sneaky.

thanks for all the comments

DMNSPD: it belongs to a good friend of mine and he has not told me exactly, but i imagine it would be ~$75-100. He wants me to look at it first b/c he said there was a ding in the muffler, so i think he just wants me to make him an offer. It also already has the cutout welded to it, so that is a plus, just have to bolt it up.

badandy: love the pic, hilarious. What movie is it from, it seems so familiar, yet so distant..lol. Also, back to exhaust, sometimes i would like to be able to hear the mild sewing machine action of the valvetrain and of course that wonderful header sound.

Does the SS exhaust have a 3 inch intermediate pipe?

It's 2.75"

Oh, and BadAndy's pic is from Mr. Deeds- Adam Sandler I just watched that the other day. "Sneaky Sneaky"

So what do you guys suggest I do, here are options:

1) place my y-pipe w/ MAC cats back on (yet i really hate cats, especially those MAC's)
2) buy the SS exhaust and have a cutout
3) place a XR-1 in place of the resonator

I think the best option is 2 (more sneaky, sneaky as badandy would say.lol), but just wanting some opinions

thanks again

I would go with 2. If you can find a an SLP dual/dual, it really does flow well and keeps the sound level way down. I like the flexibility of a kind of two stage exhaust setup.
