My friend also heard the flowmaster on the show you mentioned. I have to find out if I can get a copy of that tape. He said it sounded amazing. I think it was a black 98 Camaro that they did it to.

I heard the exhaust on a v6, it's clean. sounds like a V8, literally. you could mistake the car for a Z28 or a Formula w/ that exhaust. the resonator is funny though. it's really long and snakes through a box-looking thing in the middle of the i-pipe just before the rear end.<hr></blockquote>

I saw that on the tv show and wondered what in the world that box was. It did sound good, but they did not really rev it that high either.

I that catback went on my 2000 camaro about three weeks ago and it is getting deeper, though I do have the Catco Cat (2.5 inch) and a customer S pipe (2.5 inch).

On the first day I brought it up to the 5000 rpm mark and it did get a tad ricey. But, now that has gone away.

I am pleased for $270 price range.

Note, ensure the I pipe is tact welded to the right tail pipe hanger or you will hear a rattle. Also, ensure the tailpipes are measured against one another and the bumper prior to welding so everything is aligned properly. I ensured it was done and am pleased.

Get yourself a 80 seris, and 3inch exaust all the way back and it will sound fine. My car has 80seris with 3inch cat back and it sounds like a gt mustang at high revs and at idle it sounds very deep and v8ish. when I bought the car I did not like the way the exaust sounded at high revs but then I purchased the whisper lid and that did a lot for the sound. my buddie has the 80seris with the rksport headers, 3inch exaust all the way, and no cat and the car sounds a hell of alot better then a ls1, lt1 or tpi flowmaster system. I am saving right now for the headers!!!! [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

Alright I'm fixin to order the catback and I was wondering if I should go ahead and get the highflow cat by catco at the same time? Will it make my sound deeper? Or is it even noticeable? I don't have any mods thus far this will be my first.

Where did you guys find a flowmaster catback system in stock? Summitracing is out of them I don't know where else to get one.

This is Patrick Javert, I just changed my name is all. If you plan on just adding just bolt-on's, then the 2.5" pipe is good. the kid on HRTV on Speedvision had just a slp cai and plugs/wires on his car besides rims and tires. If you're gonna do heads/cam, nitrous, or sc/turbo, get at least 2.75" pipe. Doing filter, lid, cold/ram air, lifters/cam/heads, headers, and cat all change how the car sounds. The intake stuff makes the car sound deeper no matter what exhaust stuff you do. If you get a 40 series/2 chamber muffler, I suggest getting a resonator put in the I-pipe, just to sound deeper and have less drone while cruising.

Patrick, a 2.5 inch exhaust system (in general) can handle up to 400 h.p. That is according to the techs at Jegs, Summit Racing and FlowMaster.

That's if you're running dual exhaust. Our cars are single exhaust.

i've been searching all over for this cat-back on flowmasters web-site. where is it? i'm very interested in it.

[sste31]

You can get it at Summit Racing although I think there is a wait but here is the part number #17358.

I have flowmaster series 80. Love it. Sounds good until about 4500 rpm, but hey, its a v6!
