Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) All depends on what you want.
For something that isn't very loud, I like the SLP Dual-Dual. Of course my car has the Mufflex 3.5" with a Flowmaster race muffler. Some members have had shortie dual setups built, I've thought about it, possibly with oval pipe and mufflers. Others stick a bullet muffler off the end of the Y pipe and hang a turndown off of it. Others like being able to change plates in the Borla, or have a McCord power cutout/power plate valve. I've also heard the Hooker and Random Tech catbacks in person. The Loudmouth is pretty light, and loud of course <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) Borla!

seriously, I have the Borla on my 2000 TA (need to do my sig..) and I love it. I still have the mid plate in it, but it's deep enough for me.. sounds good.

Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) Any cat-back just don't install the muffler. Heck just keep stock pipes and just remove the muffler. Cost about $30 and it sounds awesome.

Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) No exhaust thread would be complete without mentioning the loudmouth. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) I think the (insert whatever exhaust is on your car) is the best for no apperant reason at all other than I just shelled out a bunch of money for it. Does that about sum it up <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) I like Tri flo and Corsa for lookes. But the GMMG chambered has to be one of the best sounding. I like my Borla but for my next LS1 I will get something else.

Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) I put on just a flowmaster muffler 2 chamber (single 3" in/out) and gained about a tenth. Cat-backs give any more than this guys? (and gals)
I just figured based on a buddy's lt1 figures, 70 bucks was cheaper for the bang than 300.

Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) For performance and stealh I would go with either the SLP dual-dual or the 2OTL (which I have). the 2OTL flows well (straight thru design) and is very civil on a LS1.

Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) Currently I have the B&B triflow. I'm pretty happy with the setup, but I think I'm going to do true duals this spring.

Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) Do you have any sound clips of the ATR?

Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) I like the looks of the Mecham exhaust on a TA. Good for 17/17 rw hp/tq also over a WS6 exhaust. I've got a Mufflex 4" with the Spintech dual outlet laying in a corner of my garage <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

Re: The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol) Cut out is the best exhust or if you wanna spend all that money on a cat back system then get Borla.
