I wonder if it would be worth it to keep the 3" catback, until it hits the rear axle... add two small mufflers to it, and have a turn down.

Should flow good?

What do I do to get rid of raspyness? Why is this a LS1 problem? Y-pipe?

Race bullets seem to help with rasp. Also some headers/Y-pipe setups just tend to rasp more than others. SLP and Mac seem to be some of the worst. I don’t know how the Hookers sound though as I haven’t heard them yet.

One of my buds runs that exact setup and its sounds friggin sweet. Very docile at idle but sounds like a pro mod car at about 6,000 rpm. He has a 01 ss with moser@4:10's,free mods and this exhaust and runs 12.20's at 112. Seems to work pretty good.

Does it sound raspy? Does it drone?

Its not raspy at all. It does have a slight drone when you are at highway speed for a long time but he does have a moser with 4:10's and a spool so go figure. His car picked up two mph with this exhaust.

Ordered the exhaust this weekend <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Thanks!!

I plan on adding a cat to this, so it'll probably eliminate any rasp, and cut down on drone.

Thanks!

I just read some posts that you can't squeeze a cat on the hooker y-pipe... would you be able to squeeze one on the straight section of the ypipe?

How about a 4" cat on my mufflex catback... does anyone make a cat that big?

Has anyone added resonators to their exhaust? Did you dyno? I wonder how much hp loss you get, and if it's worth being quieter on the highway (less drone too I'd imagine)...

Thanks!
