Default Formula Exhaust?

What exhaust would be best with a 94 formula behind pacesetter headers? Need to get purple horny side pipes off and put good exhaust on.

You might consider getting a custom y-pipe with a Flowmaster merge mated to a Magnaflow catback exhaust with an DMH electric cutout before the axle.

It's all personal preference man, get on youtube and check out all the different exhausts ppl have posted up. With long tubes and an ory pipe i'd go with magnaflow personally (i have flowmasters but don't have the cash for new exhaust so i don't look like a hypocrite lol)

Pick up a 3" Flowmaster merge collector, get a Magnaflow catback exhaust, a cutout pipe, a DMH electric cutout motor, and take it all to the exhaust shop and have them put it all in and connect it with mandrel bent 3" piping.

I have a y-pipe with a round magnaflow magnapack welded to it and a turn down before the rear. It sounds real good and quietens down out on the interstate! Back when my car was close to stock boltons with longtubes I had a mufflex 4in exhaust always liked the way they look single tip. Alot of people thought it was v6 because of the single tip kinda sleeper look but with a 4in tip dont now why they couldnt figure that one out! lol

I really need to find out if my exhaust really IS the SLP muffler I love how mine sounds, but am not sure how it would with LTs.

^^^you'd probably get a answer in the ls1 section.

To the OP, as far as a cat back goes, I LOVE the sound of my magnaflow. I can sneek around when I want to, there's no drone, and when you put the long skiny one on the right down, it just sounds amazing.

You couldn't have WAITED till you were going to start it before you began filming?

Does sound nice though.

(I assume you meant "actually" instead of exactly?)
