I just purchased my pacesetter longtubes.. I already have a magnaflow exaust pack wit no cat.. I want to quiet it down once I put the longtubes on.. Whats a good performance cat I can get to make it as quiet as possible.. Not a sleeper but just quiet..

I've brought a thunderbolt highflow cat that worked well...it eliminated most of the raspy sound and gave my exhaust a deeper tone. Search here for reviews.

highest flowing cat out ther by far

That should not even be called a cat. It is a straight pipe with a cat shell welded onto it. It would be good for someone who is being inspected for noise and they can see the "cat" on there. I do not have cats now and I am tired of smelling and smelling like the raw gas fumes everytime I drive my car with the windows down. I dont have emissions so I only want a cat for that reason. I think most just run cutouts before the cat.

haha i did that back in the day......i needed one to pass emissions......i cut my old one in half took the two shells notched them and just welded them around the existing pipe lol....worked like a champ!!!

bingo! they don't inspect for noise in my area, they just plug u in 2 make sure theres no codes and normally they give the exhaust a quick visual(along with safety stuff of course). your car is not running overly rich is it? I dont see why raw gas fumes enter your interior.. do you have dumps or full tailpipes?

Any 1 think the magnaflow high flow cat will quiet it down better..

a waste of money imo, believe it or not our stock cats are very efficient, not to mention it would quiet it down more than a magnaflow

i'm kinda in the same boat, only i just want em to get rid of most of the rasp & inspection for the visual. So no magnaflow universals? Any links to something else?

They are dumped before the axle. I get the smell when I am sitting at idle in traffic or whatever, but only if the windows are down. No fumes enter the car with the windows up. I will be installing a new exhaust soon with 1 7/8 headers, 3" y-pipe w/ 3" cutouts before it goes into the single 3" and before the cat, then into a 3" single in & 3" dual out Magnaflow muffler and out to my 3" CME. The cutouts will act as my true duals and hopefully have the same results in sound and power. With them closed I am hoping it will be much quiter.

I would look into the first mentioned cat or this one from Thunder, I don't know much about the Magnaflows:

Do you have a pic? I'm interested on how you made them work with the Y pipe..I have some jethot emissions LT that I plan on using on my Z28 but want to see where to mount either one or two cats on the car.

I just added two Magnaflow bullet cats (part #59959) to my Hooker long tubes, Hooker ORYP and GMMG and it quieted it down quite a bit.

DO you have a video of your car now? I'm trying to figure out my exhaust set up in the near future. Still have a good tone even if it is quieter?

I was thinking LT's, CATS on the y pipe and either magnaflow or GMMG cat back if money is there.

I can maybe get one sometime, but iIthink that it sounds better with the cats than without. It is still fairly loud, but just seems to sound more refined than before.
