honestly, just dont bother making it a sleeper. people that drive civics think lt1s are slow. my cam is very noticeable at idle and everyone still thinks the car will barely make it into the 13s. id just buy some longtubes and a quiet cat back. iv got magnaflow. its not all that quiet but it smooths out the sound alot to where it sounds stock off idle

you wont gain any power with only a y-pipe. too many other choking points to make a difference in overall flowage

For a catback, look for the SLP Dual/Dual (not the loudmouth with dual/dual tips). They no longer make it so you'll have to buy used, but it flows with the best of them and it also happens to be the quietest available. It actually used to come from the factory on the SLP modified cars.

Oh, you're so nice. I guess I'm an idiot? We'll have to race this year since we can visit the same tracks together. Hope that sebring is strong all I got is a stock LT1 motor. The guy wants a y-pipe and cat-back, and they can get a car deep into the 12's without headers. Be nice

So I'm an idiot because I'm going to be different and not install LTs and an ORY like everybody else?

Well when you go against the tried and true, best dyno-proven method of improving exhaust flow and increasing horsepower...you can expect to get some flack.

look into a GMMG cat-back setup. it's quiet-ish but it has a pretty unique sound and IMO is the best sounding LT1 exhaust out there.

may i ask why you dont want headers? It is a fairly basic upgrade that sets the platform for any more serious mods there after like heads and cam. most LT companies advertise about 25-30hp gain and that number will go up if you start modding around the exhaust. Are you going for under the hood stock appearance?

He is looking to install the Cadillac cam. It is ground for stock manifolds.

It's called the Cadillac cam. Still new. Its a LTx cam cut for stock manifolds. Has shown some decent results.

Maybe everyone should back off.

It's his car. Let him do what he wants. There's been way too much hostility on this forum lately.

The Cadillac Cam isn't exactly new, is it? Perhaps new is relative. I'm intrigued by that cam, and I have headers. Then again, I know nothing about cams.
