My perfect sound (vid) I love the sound of the car in the vid but i think hes running an open cutout. Is there a catback that can get me close to this sound (i know alot of people are going to tell me to go to ls1sounds but i tried that and havent found a good sound unless its duals, and most the people put the camara right next to the tailpipe anyway so if it had a good sound you couldnt even tell lol)? I was going to run tsp duals with sweet thunders but i want to lower my car without having to worry about bumps in the road so any opinions or solutions to that problem are welcome also.

the perfect exhaust I have a longtube, ory, magnaflow catback z28 and it sounds the same. Imo cut out doesnt change the sound of the magnaflow catbacks a lot, it just makes it louder. Although it did sound a bit different when i put my cam in.

Hmm... this is the only video of magnaflow that doesnt sound like Chewbacca. Do most videos just make them sound bad?

I have Hooker Lt, their cheesey ORY, 3in pipe from a Flowmaster exhaust and changed the muffler to a Magnaflow with their ugly tips. The cut out makes it sound mean as f*@k.

Well yes. My cut out was $60 I think at a local muffler shop. Its not an electric one. I never close it, except for when I go get an inspection. It's about that time of year.

Nope. I got pulled over once for speeding. When I took off I dropped the hammer and he pulled me over again. I got off that one by saying it was my exhaust. I get the stare down which means **** to me. They never says crap or pull me over when I nod my head at them. They're scared of confrontation. Hold your own and you'll be okay!!!

Actually it's right before it goes over the axle. It sounds pretty deep and mean. The cam really sounds lopey. But, things are different up there in Plano. A cut out will help with the sound. I've been thinking of TD too, but can't afford the car being any lower than it is. If I know for sure it flowed better than what I currently have, I would strongly consider it.

I know when youre 450+ whp the duals are worth it. Not sure about a mild car and its my DD so i decided to just go y pipe. Dont have to worry about cabin noise or scraping. Might go to duals later.

I've heard of guys that are mildly modded says they're TDs woke up their car. Then again if they are going from stock or a poor flowing exhaust they would say that. If ground clearance is an issue like it is for me... ORY with a cut off works awesome. As soon as I fix my car it goes back to being my daily driver again.

Woh did some reasearch and im defanately going to buy the flowmaster collector and have a shop fab me up a y pipe with a cutout after the flowmaster merge and a magnaflow catback. Awsome. The flowmaster merge should make it deeper and smoother while improving power. thanks guys
