Hey guys i am new here, and just bought my first F-Body. I got a 99 z-28 with 43k on it. it is black with tan leather interior - t tops monsoon system alarm chrome wheels so on and so on. I am looking at the moment just to throw a more high end muffler on the car to get some sound out of it, till i can get a cat back. can anyone give me suggesstions on what would sound good and give me a good rumbly sound at idle but then just explode with sound under heavy accell.


Thanks guys

Mike

 

From what people are saying Hooker catback sounds good. I know you just want the muffler but the best sound I have heard would have to be SLP LM. The LM has a decent sound in the low RPM's but wakes up under WOT.

 

Are you planning to run cats?

 

If you're going to run cats and you're on a budget, just dump the muffler and run straight pipes! With two cats, who needs a muffler? The SLP Loud Mouth works on this principle.

 

I have thought about running straights but i work in a greasy place as a suspension mechanic on heavy duty truck (semis - dump trucks - and so on) and i dont want to mess up the interior so my girl drives it during the week and i use a work car. so i dont want it to be toooo loud. Also dont i have to worry about the backpressure loss of running straight pipes? Where are some good places to look for exhaust systems and mufflers?

Thanks again guys

 

Good places to look for anything LS1 related

It won't be that loud running straight pipes as long as you still have the cats. In fact, with cats and mufflers both you will never be able to get any sound out of it. If you aren't going to run cats, then I'd say try some Magnaflow mufflers for best sound.

 

oh yeah um i didnt ever notice those links on the right over there. i am checking them out now. i figured that since i can get the loudmouth for just over 300 that i am going to buy that kit. plus i heard a soundclip of someone with one online and it sounds amazing. i will keep posted on whats happening. THanks for all the input guys
