Default Introducing Texas Speed's Rumbler Cat-Back Exhaust System!

We're proud to introduce the new Texas Speed & Performance Rumbler cat-back exhaust system! We've talked to SO many customers that were wanting a complete cat-back exhaust system that had a great sound to it but did not have the horrible drone and resonance after headers and an off-road y-pipe were added. The 3" bullet mufflers have become well-known for producing excellent flow, an awesome rumble, and little to no rasp with an off-road system. Our cat-back exhaust features a 3" bullet muffler that is 18" long and placed in the intermediate pipe. The long muffler, along with it being located close to the y-pipe, allow for a clean, aggressive sound without the horrible resonance. Besides being one of the best-sound and highest-flowing systems on the market, it is also lighter than a stock system! It is offered as a 100% bolt-together system that does not require any welding! All of the exhaust pipe is aluminized steel and mandrel-bent, so you will not have the crimped bends to hinder exhaust flow.

The Rumbler systems will be ready to ship starting next week! They will initially be offered at an introductory price without exhaust tips for $224.95 and with the smoked Ractive oval exhaust tips for $299.95. Below you will find a dyno graph on a '99 Trans Am M6 with the only mod being a TSP induction lid, along with install pictures.

Holy Smokes Jason! You guys are gonna sell a ton of these!!! I've heard a few local guys that have that setup and it sounds great.

You wanna know another angle on the catback? Weigh that system with the tips and weigh a stock catback. Bet it's several pounds lighter. Gain hp and loose weight with the cat back. Way to go!

I'm the owner of the Trans Am this catback was tested on, and I must say, I love this catback. The sound of it is incredible and just keeps getting better. Its not too loud, not too quiet. Its just right there at a tolerable level, but when u want someone to notice you, she will surely get the job done. If you couldnt tell, the catback picked up an amazing 13rw on my LS1. The tips i went with have to be seen in person to be appreciated. The black chrome effect is awesome. I have not heard a catback sound so deep and throaty on an LS1 as this. There is no rasp at all, and with the design/location of the muffler, it should sound great on ORY Pipes as well. I may try and get an in car video for sound clips, if I can. Not promising anything tho.

All in all, I am 110% pleased with this catback. With its affordability, killer sound, great design, and very impressive performance gains, it is sure to be a good investment for your LS1.

Also, I would like to thank everyone at Texas Speed.

We need a video clip. How would you say this would compare in sound to a Dynomouth system?

How does it sound compared to the LM? At idle, cruising, and WOT? Looks like a great product.

TSP,
Looks great and great timing for me as im revising my exhaust set up. First, can one be made with 3 1/2 or 4" diameter? Second, can i see a closer up picture of the exhaust tips. Im trying to see how this style of tip will look on a Camaro for one. I think the black will look good though for my Hugger Orange and Black Camaro. I was about to upgrade to a better Y pipe then my Hooker one for my New 387. I was thinking of the QTP ypipe ready for a mufflex, but i bet this one flows just as well as the larger diameter systems??

The sound is much deeper with little to no rasp compared to a Loud Mouth system. We had a customer with heads/cam, LT headers, OR y-pipe, and a Loud Mouth, and it was LOUD! The resonance was horrible. This system flows excellent and has an incredible sound! It will be a complete bolt-on system that will come with all of the necessary clamps, so nothing else will be needed. If you've ever seen into a bullet muffler, you know that it's a straight-through design with no restrictions whatsoever! It is only offered as a 3" system as of now. We are not looking into a larger diameter system at this time, but it's never out of the question. IF that does happen, it will be quite a while down the road.

We will try to get some sound clips up of this system shortly.

Besides the tips what is the difference between your exhaust and a Loudmouth system with the resonator replaced with a Dynomax 18" bullet?

The bullet muffler is placed very close to the y.
