LT1 soundclips - no muffler vs. Super 44
Finally got around to uploading some soundclips of my stock down to the paper filter m6 94 TA.
Idle, free rev, normal driving and WOT on stock exhaust minus the muffler:
stock exhaust no muffler driving.mp3 - 0.52MB
Idle, free rev and normal driving with flowmaster super 44 on stock exhaust:
flowmaster super 44 idle rev drive.mp3 - 1.07MB
WOT blast with the super 44 on stock exhaust:
flowmaster super 44 wot.mp3 - 0.57MB
There's bunch of pops and spikes in the sound because my recording device has a very sensitive mic that doesn't handle loud bass too well. Hope you've got headphones or a good sound system to get a good idea of how the two setups sound.
Is there an LT1 sound archive to which I can add this?

I'll post some pics soon. It's a single in/out muffler so I pretty much bolted it on in the stock location with a turndown. That's why I got no exhaust tips, although that something I will definitely fab up later because I am getting kinda bored with the no exhaust tip look.
That's your opinion. Most people want to know what it sounds like during normal everyday driving. I will record some WOT runs though... as soon as the weather becomes a bit more cooperative - we went straight back to winter after a few allergy inducing days of spring

I am thinking about doing a set up like that with a super 44 but up until I havent heard it on our cars.Do you like its louder than the 80 series that flowmaster has?Thanks for gettin pics.

Thanks! I need to CETA the rear bumper and get some Corsa tips for it though.
Honestly, I think this muffler is way too loud for a daily driver. As you can tell, the tone is very ballsy but it's got so much bass, it'll shake your fillings out! I've got a few rattles inside that I never had before, not even without a muffler. Change will rattle so bad you'll carry it in your pockets. I do have a strategy for cutting down the noise though. I'm going to paint the unexposed side of my heat shields in the back with spray on bedliner from Walmart, so they'll quit rattling, and I'll also paint the entire underside of the rear floor with a few thick coats of the stuff. That should cut the interior noise down. Finally, running the exhaust through tips out the back should cut down the pounding bass I am getting from the turndown, which is actually pointed about 30 degrees down off the horizontal.
All said and done though, this muffler sounds very muscular. I can't imagine how sick it'll get once I replace the cat with an ORP.

Haha..I dont have a cat right now with the 80 series and I like the way it sounds wether is flows well or not.I was goin to use my left tailpipe and then use the the right tailpipe and cut a hole in the intermetent pipe and weld the tail pipe on it.So it would like a cheap borla exhaust.

Added a WOT clip for you guys. It's a crappy recording because my windows were down and wind noise caused a lot of pops and spikes. The damn muffler actually seems quieter at WOT since the rumble and drone goes away! Weird! the crossflow 80 on my old TA with a gutted cat sound way meaner. I know this thing will be nasty too though once I ditch the cat and put an ORY on. At least all that drone and resonance will be worth the better tone.
You're right it does sound quiet in the recordings - I might be getting old :p
