if you want the to get close to the sound of a v8 then these are your 2 best bets.

neither of them have mufflers, they just have "resonators". you do not use amuffle on aset up like this.

ok, I will be buying the cat and the tsp on friday
is there anything else I will need?
I believe you said something about an s pipe...
is this it?

yes, I believe it Part #30045. our v6's use same exhaust setup/routing as 93-95 single cat LT1's. only stock size is different.

holy crap
$74.95 for the part and $44.70 for shipping
is there an alternative?
that's $10 more than texas thing charges for the whole exhaust!

LM Performance is $35 cheaper on shipping

i think you could just order a 3 inch "U" bend from jegs or summit and cut it in half and use that.alot cheaper than SLP.
only 20 $ from jegs ( about halfway down page, last U bend )

weld it back together?
is this just as good as the SLP kit?

[loser]

yea, cut it in half and then weld it back together. your going to have to trim both ends a little though, to get the right length. but after searching a few people have done it. it has to work.and at that cheap of a price, id do it.

$251.49 for the rumbler w/o tips? is shipping included?

yes I added shipping for everything
I will search around and see what people have done with the u bend. Might save me $60, thanks

only thing to consider is, if you go with the U-bend, all of a sudden you cant do the exhaust in your driveway, and depending on what shop you go to, they might try to @ss-rape you for the "fabbing-up" part of the install.

My exhaust came with the S-bend and I bought a pretty nice Saw-zall to ease the installation and still saved a bunch of money on what the shops wanted to charge to hang the system.

yeah there is a few really good threads on this subject, that is the route I will take for sure
just need to get everything now
I work at a shop so I am sure I can find someone to help [img]smile.gif[/img]

NOOO you went with the rumbler! Another traiter to the loud mouth. I took my exhaust to Midas I believe. They asked me where my muffler was but I told them I was paying them to make me a reducer to 3" and weld that puppy on. So they didn't ask anything else and it cost me like 50 bucks I believe for the install. I'm quite happy with it. Make sure that your new cat is long enough. I didn't get the long one and the reducer they put on wasn't long enough so my exhaust with the tips exits right almost in line with my rear bumper, kind of cool looking though. Have fun and upgrade the stereo, it'll be loud.

good luck with whatever you decide to get. keep us updated and try to get a sound clip, i too am looking at the rumbler.

[articacid]

looks like a very good setup youre getting. i did the s-pipe deal myself. the only thing is you have to get some kinda hanger.

you car will feel like a completely different car. youll love it the power will be very noticeable. i think youll love the sound.
