The 1st: What's the Best Exhaust for a LS1? (lol)
What board is complete without the best exhaust thread. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">
My first topic ever on LS1.com back in Oct.2000 was just like this one. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

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">

Borla!
Corsa!

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.

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.

No exhaust thread would be complete without mentioning the loudmouth. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">
cheap, lightweight, great sound, effective.

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">

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do you have any sound clips of the ATR?
Grott headers, 3" X-pipe, 3" true duals, 3" bullets w/ turndowns.

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">

I run the stock catback on mine, screw exhaust systems! Just use a cutout at the track. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Cut out is the best exhust or if you wanna spend all that money on a cat back system then get Borla.
