Impala SS Exhaust So, the 06 Impala SS is coming along very well. Thanks to a lot of people on these forums ! Now, exhaust systems, who recommends what ? I have the stock exhaust, I personally think it sounds great...except for when the DoD kicks in and drops from 8 to 4 cylinders. Sounds like a chopper. Suggestions ??
You are going to get varying suggestions around here as far as what to do about an exhaust. In my personal opinion, anything past the downpipe/cat isnt going to net you enough of a gain to warrant a change if you like the way your car sounds on the stock exhaust. Anything you do change will no matter what, make your car louder. Bigger pipes, free flowing mufflers, etc etc. All net an increase in noise. Depending on how heavily modified you are, you won't need anything larger then full 2.5" all the way to the mufflers, IMO.

I just recently had exhaust work done to my 2007 impala ss, Luckily my state no longer follows the emissions, I had the resonator and cat removed and went straight pipe back to Jones Full Boar Exhaust. I have had nothing but compliments of how amazing it sounds. As for the DoD ive heard many just tune it out with a diablo tuner. Im currently looking into buying the intune i2 to disable it. Not sure if its because of straight pipe but i have not noticed much of a chopper sound in 4 cylinder mode.
