What to get for exhaust?
What to get for exhaust? I have an LQ9 with a biggger cam. This will be a mostly weekend cruise car. I would like to be able have a conversation while driving. I don't want something real loud, mild & not wild. What type & size exhaust would be good, and what kind of mufflers?
I have the exhaust from my previous set up, but I think they may not even be 2". Is it worth it to go up to 2.5 or 3 "?
Thanks for any input

Hey there...my guess is you are putting it on your Nova. That being said, go with a 2.5" xpipe Magnaflow exhaust...you won't be disappointed. Sounds fantastic and is not too loud.
PM me for some more info...

ive got a 6.0 with a bigger cam, ive got dual 3in into 40series Flows and dumps, its a little too loud for my liking as a street car. It sounds amazing when i rev it or when getting on it to make a point.
But i too am going to downsize the muffler to 2.5 and go over the rear end and dump behind the rear end, maybe magnaflow or a summit muffler, i hear those are good.

74nova's sounds great in person, that vid doesn't do it justice. i was pleasantly surprised w/ the 40s, though 2.5" would be better. pypes makes a surprisingly quiet muffler in the race pro. some feel mine w/ 3" is too quiet, though i like it.

I have a mostly stock LS2 in my '67 Bird.
It had 2.5" pipes with a x-pipe and 40 series flowmasters. Loved it with the Pontiac motor. Not so much after the swap.
I just switched just the mufflers to magnaflows.
I wanted more a throaty deep tone. the magnaflows do that perfectly, but they are a little to quiet for my taste...at least from inside the car.
The wife is too scared to really get on it while I listen from the curb, LOL.
So for now I really like the Magnaflows.

The Magnaflow has a nice tone when you get into it.
