Default new custom catback is on...(PICS no 56K)

My friend works at an exhaust shop so he spent 8hrs with a small lunch break making this custom catback for me. It sounds AMAZING! Much cleaner, smoother and louder than I thought it would. There were 5 diehard mustang guys that showed up right before I started it up and they LOVE the way my car sounds, I think that says it all.

I don't like how most catbacks look on Camaros w/ the bigass muffler showing and the "cowboy tips" so I wanted it all tucked...u cannot see ANYTHING from behind the car. He did an awsome job.
Car it went into 01 SS 228 cam, stage 1 LS6 heads, Kooks LT's w/ highflow cats


old ****


18" bullet

That system looks awesome! I love the way it's tucked away. I'd want the same set up but it would have to be more quiet to be perfect for me (I'm an old bastard lol). You are running cats, right?

I loved the way my car sounded with a bullet right before my cutout. Way better than I ever thought it could. It was even better with headers/cats. I know exactly why you like that setup so much...I even kinda miss the sound that it had.

That is exactly what I want (only in non polished 304 stainless). I love the way the whole thing tucks up out of sight, NO BLING ALL ZING!! My girlfriend actually wants me to get the factory body kit rear valance to cover the shiny SLP TOTL muffler (says it looks like "it's *** is showing" - LOL). I'd rather do something like this, ultra clean and stealth.

That just doesnt look like a tig weld as much as a flux cored or MIG. It does take a minute for heat to radiate down, but I never have my bare hand that close to a weld. I am always afraid some slag will find its way onto me.

I agree it is definately a MIG but i usually TIG and as the picture shows heating is nto much of a problem. MIG spatter does suck.

Well yeah, it was gettin pretty hot. A few times I helped him put the exhaust back up after welding it got pretty warm in my hand.

I used 3" mandrel bent w/ 3 bullet mufflers...1 18" and 2 12".

I need to get a sound clip so u guys can hear it. I just have to get ahold of someone w/ a vid cam.

yes I'm running Kooks catted Y w/ Kooks 1 3/4" LT's. I LOVE the way it sounds, the only thing I don't care for too much is the resonance inside which I'm gonna lay some Dynomat down in the back to take care of that.

2000RedZ, are u a member of wichitaracing.com? If ur not go register and look around...I use the same screen name. The track has been open every sunday it's been 55 or hotter, I went last sunday and it might be open this sunday. 5 to watch and 10 to run 12-5...6ish.
