new exhaust well, don't really care if people respond or post, but I'm basically excited for my future purchase I will be making sometime this week
- TSP 1 7/8" longtubes (glad I researched for 2 years haha)
- custom y with flowmaster 3 inch collector
- 3" electric cutout
- flowmaster system (all ready installed)
opinions welcome, i'm sure it's been done many times, but I haven't done much to the car lately and I'm pretty excited since I've been at college and away from the car for 2 years now basically.

I wish I would have gone with 1 7/8" primaries when I started modding...
Should sound killer! Post up a soundclip afterwards.

i'll do the best i can with bosting a video. i'm at school right now so unless i drive back every weekend to get the parts and get it done at home it's gonna be tough. I'll update with pictures and stuff the most i can. your trans am is the main reason i will be getting the cam i'm getting. i'm talking with tony now about which cam to get and i love the way yours sounds and ya, the flowmaster hurts numbers a little bit, but when i dyno and race it the cutout will be open and i wont have to worry about power robbing. also im running the 40 series and it sounds great ( IMO ) i dont like corsa because it's too high pitched and the list of reasons for any other catback is endless. but the e cutout should be a nice feature in tunnels and parking garages as well

Funny thing is people never post proof that flowmaster hurts hp. They just show dynos with a cut out open and closed w/ flowmaster and of course the cut out is going to make better power lol
Setup looks fine to me

haha well....at 120k miles i ran it bone stock at 13.9@ 99 and then threw on a lid and the flowmaster exhaust went back to the track at 127k miles and it went 13.6@101. so unless my driving got a little better both runs were on BFG g force TA's everything else is stock...the lid was just a SLP lid. nothing major. can't wait to go back after the ls6 drop in, full exhaust, slicks, 3.73, built trans and i plan to almost mimic squirts cam with a 234/246 607 lift @ 111 lsa (EPS cam), hoping to see 11's.

Verdad Gallardo Trust me there is a reason they have gotten a bad name for f bodys,I loved flowmaster on my old mustang,and I think there one chambers are the best for a TD setup,just there f body muffler is such a crap design,I think flowmaster sounds good though,and unless its on a head,cam,intake car its not gonna hurt ya that much,also I didn't see the cutout,post some clips when ya get everything together,man I wanna drive my car so bad,winter blowssssssss
Geoff @ EPS knows what he's doing, give him a call.
What intake do you plan on running with that cam? Heads? You'll want it to be able to breathe well, and I even had to flycut the pistons to get the compression I wanted (milled heads).

well as of right now i'm running a performance products 85mm intake/throttle body, 243 heads, we fly cut the pistons ahead of time of rebuilding the motor. the heads will get milled, ported and polished later down the road when i have time. i dont think i will ever throw a shot at the car...if u weren't planning to spray, would u run a different cam?
the flows are literally for sound. that improved the performance over the stock exhaust slightly. they may be power robbing once more upgrades are done, but for numbers purposes and performance aspects, i will have the cutout open
