Advice on setups
Advice on setups I tried to get answers one at a time, but that didn't work, so let me throw it out here.
1) Car is a 2002 Firehawk. Engine stock. Headers now. Cam next year (C2???). Heads in 2 years.
2) Emissions are not a big concern
3) I want to maximize my exhaust up until it's overly raspy or droning in my car
4) Keeping the stock SLP dual/dual for stealth as needed
5) Car is for fun. Performance is good, but livability is as important. Only 3-4 track days per year.
==================================
I've narrowed my choices to either
a) SLP LT with cats and a single Quicktime cutout (advantage: price, emissions just in case, much less likely to drone and be raspy)
b) Quicktime LT with dual QTEC's in the Y, no cats (advantage: better performance, clearance)
c) Some combo of the two such as QTP headers and a single cutout etc.
Any other pros that you see? Are the dual cutouts in the y without cats going to drive me nuts with drone or rasp? Can partially closing the QTEC's solve that? Would some combo of a

Re: Advice on setups The QTEC y-pipe would be the best!!! It would be like having open headers which sounds much better than going through a y-pipe, pretty sure it would sound bad *** w/o rasp!!!!! Go with that!!!!

Re: Advice on setups Any other takers? I'm considering the combination of the two and going with QTP headers, the QTP offroad y-pipe and a single QTEC under the rear passenger seat. Sound good?
