turbo catback? I plan on putting a cutout in the downpipe, so I can run a catback to keep things tame. I know a turbo quiets things down a bit, but how quiet? Quieter than stock? Anyway, what catback are you turbo guys rinnung (if any) and how do you like it? I was thinking something like hooker or magnaflow, maybe gmmg. I really dont know what would sound good.

So catbacks sound shitty on turbo cars? I've honestly never heard one. How loud would it be with LM or another similar exhaust? Maybe borlamouth? I have TD's now and they are loud, so I wanted something a little stealthy. how loud is a turbo car without any catback or muffler?
straight through catbacks like slp 2 on the left, random technology, or make your own with some dynomax or borla bullet mufflers.
i dont think mine sounds like a v6, but if it did.. that would be sweet!
theres a dyno vid of my car with a slp catback in my homepage

Turbo V8 cars with a muffler sound like v6's???? I beg to differ, my car sounds no different with a turbo and my magnaflow catback as it did with the D1-sc, its a tad bit quiter but thats about it. It still has a very mean LS1 V8 rumble at idle, cruising and WOT....
Do NOT run a chambered type muffler with a turbo, that is no good.

Love it
Nice deep throaty rumble and moderately loud when cruising around but not doesn't wear on you like a LM would.
Here is the car at idle with the magnaflow

here is a lil cruise with it too

Right click em, and save em...also once they are DL to your computer you will have to remove the .txt at the end of the file name...don't know why that gets added

I have plans go get a new muffler evenualy, but its pretty low on the priority list. I dont want just a bullet, and a 4" staight through muffler pretty much leaves borla at like $200
need to get some other things taken care of before I worry about that.

When I said "...any muffler," I should have specified really restrictive and chambered-style.
I bought a V8, so I want it to be loud.
That's just me. Anyway, listen to the typical STS with restrictive cat-backs (The Camaro on their site, for instance) if you want to hear Stock LS1 exhaust sound with the spool. That's what I'm talking about. Nasty.
Turbo+restrictive cat-back=too much sound being muffled. A nice bullet style or a pair, Dyno or the Borlas, still has my vote for a turbo'd LS1.
If its all subjective huh? Turbo V8 sounds like a V8 no matter how you cut it. An STS kit? Wow, not a good example. An STS doesn't run a "cat back"...it (the turbo) is in place of where the muffler would be, so that comparison is null and void. Its the reason why its so loud and you can hear that tiny T61-67 spool so loudly and fast as well, its outlet is but a few feet to the back of the car. Can't say "I have a borla catback on my STS car"...why? the borla muffler and borla sound got ditched with the addition of the STS kit.
Can't have a stock LS1 sound meaning stock LS1 with stock muffler, without the factory muffler....remember STS kit replaces the stock muffler:wink:
MM put down insane power through a "cat back" SLP 2otl exhaust, restrictive?? I wouldn't say too restrictive....he put down damn near 900rwhp with it.
I'm running the magnaflow, which is two open pipes running through a "muffler" on both exhaust pipes, restrictive...not at all.
If you are going for numbers on the dyno or track go open down pipe and bypass all restriction

You said,

I've heard some others that sound like Stock LS1 exhaust with added turbo spool. It's all subjective with what each person likes
STS was just an example of the sound I was describing. I made a mistake referring to them having cat-backs. Big whoop. You corrcted me on STS knowledge. Wow. I don't know too much about the STS systems, don't care to. I was referring to the SOUND as an example. I wouldn't pretend to know about them. I heard a Vette here once with Twin Turbo's, front-mount, that sounded too quiet, FOR ME. There... another example with no mistakes. It's the EPP one I believe. A nice sounding one? I like the Force-Fed-Fabrications prototype kit vid around this Forced Induction forum with the Bright Red TA and the head unit where the battery is running 10 psi. I would like to know what exhaust that was.
I'm posting what I would do for a catback, just like you can.
Oh:

and not :wink:. Here, I'll give ya one: Last edited by bboyferal; Aug 28, 2005 at 05:11 PM.

I said a while ago:
I'd run a Loudmouth or some other bullet.
