Default bassani or borla xr-1 or stay with flowmaster

i currently have long tubes headers, 3 in pipe with cats and a flowmaster and want it just a tad louder, could i just bypass the cats or should i move onto a new exhaust?

flowmaster is probably robing you some horsepower get any other exhaust with a tone you like and you will be fine.

Flowmaster flows like uhm ever got something stuck in a straw and you keep trying to get it but you just get a little air?? Thats like a flowmaster, they no likey to flowey. Get the borla, or hell even magnaflow does a good job, flowmaster does sound good though!

Let us know!

I ran a 13.4 at 105 with flowmaster and K&N CAI, you should be running about that maybe a little lower, seriously the best place to start your build is at good bolt ons, its a great base. Make the investment, you wont regret! Let us know if you have anymore questions on anything else we all have our opinions but wouldnt lie about a part! (Most often )

hey sounds good thanks alot guys, yeah im looking into an ls7 clutch kit cuz i race just about everyday and have burnt out my pressure plates lol. so that might be the next step, but yeah i have a list of stuff to do but no money haha. but my next step was some used long tubes for 400. then i want to go internals. but now the clutch might be priority, i have another thread talkin about what clutch i should get and i came down to the ls7, unless you have any better ideas. im always up for learning. im young and dumb so enlighten me =P
but what SHOULD be my list of bolt ons? so i can compare what i first planned and plans from an experienced elder

with your trap speed and that time, im guessing traction was an issue. that was my problem, brand new sumitumos htr IIs got me a best of 14.0 at 105 mph, no hook at all

thats exactly it haha sorry i left that out, i just got sooo used to it that i dont mention that major factor haha, first will burn them 2nd will kick it out a little, 3rd will chirp them, so yeah traction sucks, i even pulled around the water box then backed in and never helped lol

my fastest is 13.8 but thats not consistant, cuz no hook up. AND due to little hook up a mach 1 with cat backs and K&N "kept up" with me and i was imbahressed cuz i expected to pass by a length
