Default So i drew my exhaust to see what you guys think

Its going to be:
Pacesetter Headers
TSP Catted Y
Morroso Spiral Flow
Dumped before the axle
MSD Wires, TR55 plugs
new motor mounts
gm gaskets
o2 extensions
Am i missing anything?


Or i could do this:
Pacesetter LTs
Pypes/Jegs universal x pipe
spiral flows/sweet thunders
dumped



Which would you think is better?

i cant find any sound clips, but was wondering if this would be a good sounding set up? part of the reason im doing it is because i think camaros look better without tips in the back, and it also saves about 30-40lbs worth of pipes back there. and i decided to use cats so i dont have to deal with the inspection AS MUCH as if i didnt have them. all this will be purchased when i get my tax return (woot) along with a ls6 intake.

the drawing was half joke, half serious lol.

Mine is plced a little forward of his bank one and it works just fine, in that drawing it would be closer to where the pipe coming off the header makes its first bend.

well, the reason i drew it like that was just from the website, but if i remember correctly the best placement as far as performance would be right after the collector.

performance and efficiency. like thesilverone mentioned, they need to be hot enough to work properly otherwise theyre useless. but my car is lowered and that spot of my y-pipe scrapes everywhere so that was my main concern.
