Before I do just go ahead and get the flowmaster exhaust system for my 01 z28....

Can anybody else tell me what they think of it?

Ive been told it is BARELY better than stock as far as flow goes, and not worth the money since it is only a pinch better. Ive found it online for $360. I like the sound of it too from LS1sounds.com


Ive also been told to just takeout the catalytic converters, and get two dynomax mufflers, that go straight through which makes better flow..But ive got dual outlet..of course.

Any other exhaust system suggestions instead?

DO NOT GO WITH THE SLOWMASTER!!! It is the worst flowing exhaust for an LS1. If you are looking for a good price, go with the TSP Rumbler. Its like a loudmouth for around $225 without tips, much better flow and in my personal opinion much better sound.

Are you going to do headers? If you are, save your money and buy it all at once. Get a true dual set up for around $450-500 i think, and get a set of LT's.

Okay thanks for the replies, what is a set of LT's?

Yeah, I don't think I will be going with the flowmaster, everyone seems to not like it lol....Its either no its a slow master or no its a flowblocker...lol so I won't go with that.

Oh yeah, I don't think I am going to do headers....Do I have to?

I want a low toned sound from the car, and nothing overbearingly loud. And definitly not something that will rasp...

Can I get the TSP rumbler with tips??...I don't like the stock ones.

Lt's = Long Tubes as in headers
Also if you don't plan on going with LT's in the future then I would go with the SLP Loudmouth or the TSP Rumbler. Both of them sound the best when you have stock manifolds and cats. But if you do get one of those two and then decide to get LT's it will sound real raspy.

Okay, I found this...Is this going to be everything I need fully, I noticed the other options don't have the mufflers.

That is the X-pipe and exhaust for LT's (Long Tube Headers). Basically if you chose this system you would just need a set LT;s and you would have a full exhaust, though it will be LOUD, but it will sound good. If you dont want too loud you might want just a catback kit such as TSP rumbler, Magnaflow, or SLP loudmouth, though the TSP and the SLP kits are one of the loudest catback kits with some rasp. Check out www.ls1sounds.com that will help you the most.

If your not doing headers for whatever reason, I would consider the GMMG. It's expensive, but it sounds awesome.

Magnaflow and Hooker are other options if you want something a little quiter, especialy with the Hooker. Hooker is also the cheapest set-up you can go with. I have a magnaflow and I would never get any other cat-back for an LS1 if I ever have to get one again. The sound is magnificent.

The true duals will be extremly loud, but will outflow both the magnaflow and the hooker, but don't expect anything huge. With a full exhaust, expect about 20-40 horsespower depending on your tune!
