Want stock exhaust tips back
I have a mac catback on my Z28 now and it is starting to rust in the mufflers n tailpipes. So I been talking with the wife about putting another muffler on it and just have my stock tailpipes in tips welded onto the new muffler. I like my mac muffler cuase it is tame around town but when I go w.o.t. it screams. So the wife really likes flowmasters sound and was wondering how much it will hurt performace. I have heard alot of mixed emotions on this forum about flowmasters on f-bodys. And was wondering if I got a muffler no matter what brand if it matter going from a 3 inch inlet to dual 2 1/4 outlets in stead of my 3 inch inlet to dual 2 1/2 outlets now ? thanks in advance

Well the 40 and 44s, don't come in a cross-flow design, so you wouldn't be able to run dual tips on the L & R. You could run a Hooker Aero Chamber muffler, maybe a Dynomax #17227 Ultra Flo. If you really want a Fm get a Super44 #9430462, the driverside pipe will be easy , but for the passengerside you'll need a 180* bend, a straight section, and a 90* bend to get it over to the passengerside.

From what I've read, Flowmaster is fine as long as you just stay away from their crossflow mufflers, their single in/single out is alright. So, if you want Flowmaster something like a 44 or 40 muffler would most likely be just fine, if you can have something fabricated like 99Bluz28 explained.

The Hooker Aero Chamber #21729HKR would be the least expensive at $72 but it's not stainless steel like the Magnaflow #12267 at $105, and Dynomax Ultraflow #17227. These would be the most cost effective since you wouldn't have to buy additional tubing, or pay more to have it installed.

Thanks well since I want to put my stock tips back on I still have the pipes n taips to cut off the stock muffler. so I dont think I have to buy anymore piping maybe a coupler or 2.

I have the magnaflow 12267 on my car with my stock tailpipes on it. i love the look and sound. they had to extend the pipe on the left side of the muffler since the magnaflow muffler is smaller than the stock one.
heres a video of what it sounds like on my LT1 with all stock exhaust componants except the muffler

I like that. Wonder what it would sound like on mine. I have the slp y-pipe on mine that connects under the cats. I know my mac exhaust got a little louder n much deeper with it. I like the work that was done on yours looks cleaner then what i have seen. I know that the Lt1 sounds different then the Ls1 so Hopefully a magnaflow would sound good on my car. thanks for the pics and sound clip

even @ 130k it really didn't look too terrible though. I love having a southern car
