exhaust question..
I just bought an 04 goat and the previous owner put headers on and deleted the cats but kept the stock mufflers and tailpipes. Kinda dumb if ya ask me, bottleneck city...but whatever. The question I have is does everybodys exhaust back crackle like some old farm truck. My LS1 camaro never did, although that was a ypipe setup. But holyshit! I plan on changing the exhaust anyway and put flows single chamber mufflers and 3" pipe all the way instead of only half the way..LOL! and an h-pipe, hopefully that will get rid of the crackling. lol!

My buddy has the same set up with stock headers, cat delete, and 10 series flowmasters. It crackles and pops at idle and is the loudest thing in town. Sounds like a farm truck with echo chambers. With the setup you're talking about, it will probably still crackle. You should lean towards something like Magnaflow or any exhaust with low back pressure!!

Our gto's have deceleration fuel cut off (dfco) which causes the pop/burble/crackle.
From what I understand, shy of getting a custom tune, we can only change how it sounds with different exhaust setups and not get rid of it.

The stock '04 catback flows surprisingly well. You won't gain much other than a different sound. I made the H-pipe functional and the tone got deeper. It also quieted it down some. I have Dynatech long tubes into cats. IMHO, it sounds pretty good. Great tone and not loud.
DFCO tuning will get rid of the popping.
