Which Exhaust To Buy????

[drew2786]

I'm getting ready to buy a new exhaust for my car but I have no idea which one to get. I was originally looking at the SLP Loudmouth but I'm not sure if it would fit good where it's for an LS1. So then I started looking at Magnaflow and Flowmaster and now I have no idea, will someone please help me decide?????

Loudmouth would fit fine.
If it fits on a V8 it'll fit on a V6...pretty much all the same under there.

i've heard flowmaster doesn't sound too good at higher RMPs, and can also be kinda restrictive until you have complete exhaust work, from the headers on back. magnaflow i've heard is good, but i personally don't think it's loud enough (i like it loud). and the loudmouth will fit fine if you get the LT1 install kit. i was considering the loudmouth or magnaflow, but then i started looking into the TSP rumbler, which i think i'm going to get.

If you want it loud, get a cut-out.

flowmaster sounds good...
check my video post!

Whatever you do get a full catback system all at once. You will be much happier that way.

I went on Texas Speed and Performance and found that they make a True Dual exhaust, would it be better than any other exhaust, and how does it sound?

Magnaflow sounds pretty good, its not too loud but when you get on it it screams. A high flow cat also makes it sound a little better.

no you dont want the dual exhaust because it is dual 3" exhaust and you will lose all backpreasure causing you to loose your low end torque. however they do mike a really nice single 3" exhaust which flows very well and has less rasp than most performance exhausts i have heard. unless you put a power adder on at the same time dont get the true duals.

my friend has true dual 3" exhaust on his stang and all it does is drone and rasp. i think it's nasty, but he likes it :rolleyes: .

I thought this "loss of low end torque" issue was solved LONG ago on these boards? It's been proven that you don't LOSE any kind of power by putting bigger pipes on your car, the powerband shifts upward so it might FEEL like you lost some low end but in fact you've only gained quite a bit of top end. If you dynoed your setup before and after putting on duals or a 3" system in general you'd see that the torque curve is much smoother and still higher than before. So don't be scared of a 3" setup, it's deeper and better flowing than the 2.5" setups a lot of people on these boards swear by, especially if you plan on swapping heads/cam or using a power adder down the road.

Go with either the SLP loudmouth or the Texas Rumbler. They both sound badass.
