I also have dual cutouts like these...

On the dyno I only gained 5 hp and 7tq with the cutouts open but well worth the sound.
i seen and heard these cutouts at the autorama a couple weeks ago love the low profile look and loved the sound i will be adding them to my set up. just got my jet hot long tubes and am getting thee gmmg catback

I personally like my SLP LM II catback for the price on my LT1.. all my friends love it too.. keep in mind if you plan on going catless that then it WILL sound like absolute ***...

Without a doubt, SLP 2OTL is the best sounding LT1 exhaust.

TSP X-rumbler
I'm biased though... Long tubes feeding this setup gets alot of looks and compliments and my car is very mild engine-wise.

STS exhaust sounds good.. no emissions, cats or muffler.. but the turbo to me is the muffler

When I bought my car it had a six speed, Mac shorties, no cat and a SLP 2 on the left with no silencer cone. The car sounded WICKED, I got ALOT of compliments on the way it sounded.

Of course my 4 inch Mufflex with a 4 inch Magnaflow muffler thats straight thru aint no slouch either.

Cutouts do work, just depends on the car, and in particular the power level and what muffler.

A buddy makes 525 to the wheels on motor with a 4 inch Mufflex like mine, but he has the Spintech dual outlet crossflow muffler. He makes about 15 rwhp less with the cutout closed than with it open.


Mine on the other hands picks op nothing at the track uncapped vs capped up. No ET and no MPH. I have the same system with a straight thru Magnaflow muffler.

Borla. I always say I'm going to switch untill I hear it from outside the car. Sounds like thunder when you start it.

I've heard this combo in person and yes, it is one of the best sounding setups out there for LT1 cars.

i am partial to my SLP 2OTL, even when the car had as&m headers and bolt ons, the exhaust sounded awesome. when other f body owners compliment it then it must sound decent.

i still think it sounds even better now running it with a stroked SR motor in front of it, lol!!!
