Default New catback!

What's up guys. I went with a TSP Rumbler for my 00' SS m6. As of now I have a Flowmaster weld in (came with the car when I bought it), SLP bolt on y pipe, and a cutout at the end of the I pipe. I'm removing the cutout for smog purposes and reinstalling it more toward the front of the car after smog. My question is, will there be a noticable drop in power with out the cutout, and does anyone have a similar set up with out L/T's. If so, how do you like the rumbler. I've read a lot of good things on it. Mid length headers are next. Thx!

the rumbler is good,honest its a loudmouth with a diff, muffler,so is there a flowmaster on your car now,? Rumbler flows great,your not gonna feel any power loss over a cutout,I like the rumbler on a stock car sounds great,even on a modded car it sounds good,

Its basically a loudmouth 2 bullet cat-back. Its pretty tame on stock manifolds. If you ever get long tubes I would run a Catted Y. Unless you like the sound of open headers because thats exactly what it will sound like. I have never heard one with mid-headers though. As far as power goes I dont think you will notice any loss.

Bobs99ss yes there is a flowmaster on my car right now. Its a weld in and I have the cutout on the very end of the I pipe toward the rear. Doesn't sound too at wot but the drone is terrible when I'm cruising.

It wont be quiet with headers. Also mids are kinda a waste, just get long tubes.

But I did a lid after longtubes so maybe that had something to do with it,didn't feel that I gained a lot though,but after the tune car ran crazy good for a bolt on car,
