what mufflers are those? got any sound clips? what is interior noise like? drone? is that setup raspy? sorry if you answered these questions already, i read the thread but could've missed it.


If you can get a mandrel bent stainless setup for $250, lemme know.
My car may not be a Bugatti, not that I'd get one of those anyways, but it is relatively nice and I don't want it looking like crap, droning, rasping, etc. Not saying all dumps look like crap, but...mandrel bends look better, so does stainless, and tucked well. I'm personally not saying I'm going for all of that, but it does look a hell of a lot better and some places it doesn't cost too much.

Not true. I was curious as I live in Ohio and want a TD setup as well..

OP: I think it looks great as long as you like it **** everyone else
Well Put 6898Camaross!

This thread has me rethinking my exhaust options, Looks not my first concern for exhaust. I just finished painting my 2nd hand headers, next will be that tacky header wrap

of course stainless mandrel work looks better. stainless anything looks better than unfinished steel. i am naturally a function > form guy, at the very least; getting on this website is good for a laugh in that regard.

When I saw the 1st pic undercar my first thought was dayum thats a nasty rusty undercarriage, & it is for an 02. The 2nd pic with the TDs completed, better & no not a pretty kooks TDs but not nearly as expensive either. I think it looks pretty damn good how everything is run. I like it. You did clean it up a lil, which helps. Even without mandrel bends being 3' it'll easily outflow an ORY.

Why cuz you work at a muffler shop? Really think if he paid more than that he got ripped?

The mufflers are custom also.The muffler that I wanted to use was a Borla Pro XS #40359 but its case is too wide to fit up behide the rear bumper. The muffler they start with is the same size 14" x 4" x 9 1/2" they cut it down to 7 1/2" open it up ,stuff it with a special material .And they re cope the end caps and reweld the case back . The end result is a offset -offset 14 x 4 x 7 1/2" muffler ,similar to Kooks 300-12 . The sound is just great !

Amazingly the mufflers are not loud at all ,they are pretty quite at idle but come to life at 2 grand .They have good deep tone ,nice rumble, no rasp or drone sound at all.The mufflers were not shortened the case was narrowed by 2" which was less than 20% area volume reduction.They are still 14" long which is 2" longer than the Kooks muffler that I compared it to. Let me say this , the engine is not broke in yet and I have yet to take it over 3 grand no WOT runs til then.

"What's your problem, Kazanski?"



Your car looks clean, ALL the rears rust in these cars because GM didn't paint them!

These guys posting up about your car looking rusted bad are effed up in the brain and don't know **** anyways..........

Yes, some have put the mouth on my system and pretty much called it a POS. Well Friday at the tuners it resulted a of dyno 372 rwhp not bad for a crappy exhaust.Just imagine if I had a real nice mandrel job, maybe 400 hp ,LOL not.

1, ignore other peoples opinions regarding your exhaust, it's probably better than stock for flow.
2, I personally would spend a whole lotta time correcting the rust on your car body and floor pan with some Navel Jelly or similar and a barrier like por or even Rustolium, and don't forget the insides of the body panels and doors.
Instead of spending money on wants, get the needs taken care of first. Otherwise your car will have huge gaping rust belt cancer holes.
I'm from the midwest and lost a few cars to rust when I was a young man, which I could have corrected........Salt n snow=suck.
Good luck with you build and enjoy that Ls1.

Looks good man. I actually like how it is ran over the axle. Pretty nice looking setup. Could you Pm me with the rough price. I have someone close to me who says they can do it but I think they are asking a little much.

The doors on our cars are not steel ,they are some kind of molded composite ,I believe.
