LT's on a vert
 
Who's running LT's, Cat's, and Y pipe on their a4 vert, and what brand? How did it fit? Are you happy with them? Thanks, Chuck

Long Tubes yes, Cats no. Call me cheap but I went for the Flowtech Ceramic coated. Get the occasional "bump" on the floor pan at wide open, but its not every time and it doesnt bother me a bit, it just means I have plenty of ground clearance.

I have read some people saying that LTs on a vert are much louder than on a coupe. Is that true?

I'm running Hooker LT's, TSP 3" Catted Y, and a GMMG and I think it's a little too loud for my taste. Sounds real good but everybody can hear it, needa watch out where I come onto it at now.

I've been hearing some pretty good reviews about the pacesetter LT's. I'm leaning towards them and the TSP catted Y. I was looking at the SLP setup but they said not for vert's. Thanks for the input. Chuck

you can put slp lt's on a vert...thats what i have on mine with a true dual setup. If you get them on an auto though you have to buy a special install kit and i wouldn't recommend slp just because the ground clearance is horrible...trust me i know from experience, you cant even go over most speed bumps with slp headers :(

My SLP's hit the floor until I cut the Y pipe to put the Mufflex 4' adapter on. Then I had a chance to lower the drivers side down more which completely solved it. The exhaust is louder on verts with the top down. I had the Corsa on for about a week but couldn't stand the sound especially with the top down. I really like the Mufflex/Spintech combo.

I have the PS LT's and y-pipe with no cats. I haven't scraped yet (stock ride height) but they do hit the floor, I am going to try a coupe things to get a little more clearance between the headers/y-pipe and floor.

Im running Kooks 1 3/4 ss lt and kooks ORY. I had to remove the tunnel X brace It would not fit with the Y, and the Y hits the the floor pan on the drivers side but only from a dead stop under hard accel. :confused: have the corsa catback also and had to cut about a 1 foot piece out of it (the bend at the end) to keep it from binding agenst the side of the tunnel. very mild at idel but gets real loud after 1/2 throttle. all in all way to much to pay and still have fitment issues :(

Hooker long tubes, no cats, Mufflex Y, dynomax ultraflo muffler. I have a clearance issue on the passenger side header that I'm not happy with, but everything else fits great. It cruises pretty decent but as soon as you give it throttle it opens up nicely and really roars. Only odd thing is that my left tailpipe gets dirtier than the right. My friend finally said that at idle, the smoke only comes from the left pipe and as soon as I give it gas it comes out both. I thought that was a little interesting.

Jet-Hot Headers and Catted Y. Headers fit fine. Don't care for the cats.

BigT2002 Jun 19, 2005 02:29 PM

Pacesetter LT, TSP True Dual on mine and they are dumped over the axel.

Jimmyz Jun 22, 2005 09:16 PM

Grotyohann LT's and hollowed CAT's. Drivers side y-pipe hits on hard accel in 1st geat and a hard shift from 1-2. No other issues. Not louder than a coupe in any way IMHO.

okay just became a member.i have 98 ss conv and i live in florida so cats i dont need.so wat are the best headers ,y pipe and exhuast to use for the most power?and have a shop that will dyno tune the car for me.

BigT2002 Jul 2, 2005 01:50 AM

I have pacesetter LT's, dumped TD exhaust and its lowered :)

Only issue, is that we have to cut a plastic brace under the car for the exhaust, SFC's take care of that though

I think the DynaTech system rocks! If and when I need a new system that's where I'll be spending my $$$.

no, you just hear more of it since there isnt a big window and metal in between you and the exhaust

travie319 Jul 4, 2005 12:30 AM

hey did you have to remove the body cross member? cause my didnt go back on

miacamaro305 Jul 5, 2005 07:48 PM

does it matter if u get ss or regular metal headers?i know the ss last longer but are there any diffrence in power gains?
