i need your opinion on a good cat-back i had my eye on the loudmouth from slp, but i found that it was too loud(i must be getting old) and i heard over and over that it can lessen performance. so my question is, what cat-backs are suggested that:
1) have a nice growl to it.
2) not going to make me have to sell my house(inexpensive).
3) increase hp
right now i have the standard exhaust on the 2000 SS. any suggestions on other bolt on performance that wouldn't void my warranty would be appreciated
by the way, can you tell i'm new to this? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: i need your opinion on a good cat-back I threw on Flowmaster's American Thunder cat-back on my '98 a few weeks ago....Excellent sound and helped out the top end a little. The fit was pretty good and it doesn't have all those gawdy tailpipes stickin out the back...just 1 simple 3" stainless tip on each side.
It's just a basic laugh in the face of death...live on the razors edge...exhaust system from hell!! <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> I paid $299 for mine.

Re: i need your opinion on a good cat-back What is your price range ? I have the Whisper cat-back and I love it. I would wait for GP. Start a thread in the sponser section and see if anybody picks it up.
Re: i need your opinion on a good cat-back Never heard of Loudmouth robbing power <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> it doesn't have a muffler, you do the math. Some have thought they lost some low end torque but dyno numbers speak for themselves, it's also stainless steel (durable), light, and yes it is loud, but you have a freakin muscle car don't you? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I would also go with the Hooker as a second really good exhaust system that not's too loud.

Re: i need your opinion on a good cat-back I would suggest finding a used dual-dual or you can buy a new one for like 600 bucks, I picked up one off of a 2000 car for $175... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: i need your opinion on a good cat-back SLP 2OTL is nice. Flows as good or better than any other catback. Sounds good with or without cats. $399 and it's all stainless steel.

Re: i need your opinion on a good cat-back Spintech just came out (last week) with a 3" catback all mandrel bent with dual 3" mandrel bent tails for $359.95. I basically prototyped this system on my car and it sounds verry nice and deep with ORP and cam. The muffler they are using is a new style using spintraps from their race series mufflers. Sounds very nice. Check em out.

Re: i need your opinion on a good cat-back I just pieced together a Dynomax intermediate pipe, over-axle pipe and Ultra-flow muffler for $150 and paid a muffler shop $40 to weld it up.

Re: i need your opinion on a good cat-back Does the SLP dual dual differ from the stock SS system other than just the tips? I was under the impression that they were both 3" systems with the same muffler.

Different muffler and different tips.
