  • I got a flowmaster and....

    My car sounds like a ricer now.... I hate the way it sounds. It has a real noticable power difference though, that I like.

    Will headers give it that deep sound I'm looking for or will I just have to get a cam?

      Yea heres sound clip of my exhaust: Pacesetter headers ceramic coated, y-pipe, 3"in/out hi-flow cat, 2.75" flowmaster catback.

      http://www.geocities.com/timmackman1...haustClips.mpg

      copy and paste into URL.. but first couple seconds is from outside of the car, then the rest is inside.. first acceleration is around 3k-4k rmp, then 2nd acceleration is punching it from 30mph. would put it as video but would be too big to host on my site


      thats what it would sound like so you decide on it you'd like it or not.

          I think the cat have alot to do with making it sound better too. I have heard v6 camaro's with just a cat and flowmaster that sound better than a V8.

                a 6 wont sound like an 8.....ever..........no matter what.

                you can make them sound nice, but it takes a lot of exhaust work, and good exhaust like borla or B&B Triflo

                  The thing that makes our cars sound the most like a ricer is the cat. I ran into the same thing when i put a glass pack on. it sounded bad on my buddies 3.4 but sounded like rice on mine. i couldnt figure out why i thought since i have a 3.8 mine would sound better. it didnt. the thing the makes it sound like sh*t is the y-pipe is 3 inches all the way to the cat. at the exit end of the cat it bottle necks to 2 1/4 in. So i ordered a magnaflow 3in in/out (part #94009 i think) shipped it was $63 from ebay. so now im just running the exhaust out of the S-pipe(which is also 3in) it sounds mean as heck. but when i get the money im getting the loudmouth. but the cat alone completely changed the sound of the exhuast. it sounds sexy at idle too ;)

                    Oh and it sound sweet all the way through the rev range. esp from 2000-4000.

                        99W68Firebird has just convinced me to consider Flows! Although I like the sound of my BorlaMouth it's still very loud and I'm fearful of the Police everytime I drive. And for someone that's about to enlist in the military, I really really don't need anymore tickets to delay my entry or make me look bad! Are you guys talking about an 80 series or a 40 series though? Cuz I'm more interested in much lower interior resonance which the 40 delta series has but the 80 series doesn't (it's just plain loud!)

                            Ya but yours costs a damn fortune, and I've already spent enough on my exhaust (LM $300, Borla Bullet $110, Fast Toys Tips $85, SLP S-pipe $65, Carsound Cat $50) Man that stuff adds up fast, but if flowmaster 40 series will dampen my angry exhaust note for under $100 I'll be so happy!
