Exhaust Part#'s help!

[key2emptiness]

okay I actually heard the Flowmaster American Thunder system in person that my friend got and I did not like it :eek: we went on the highway and had it about 75-80 and it was too loud. I know they were supposed to loud but I did not think too loud. So i cancelled my order and I am thinking about getting a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler. Any experiece with these??? I heard a sound clip of it and it sounds like what i want since it is kinda mellow. Only thing is every site I go to it lists that it is for V8's only. So if anybody has part numbers on what I need I would greatly appreciate it. I also went to there website and they said they sell it at O'Reily's (auto part store) so if i go and just buy the muffler, what else would I need?? thanks a lot for any input!

Part number for the muffler is 17739.
Here's a clip from inside my car with the Dynomax exhaust: 15.8@89_small.zip
Pics of my tips: Pic 1 Pic 2. (They don't really stick out as far as it looks.)

Might want to think about getting a bigger I-Pipe while you're doing exhaust: WLK-53061 and WLK-54064 from Summit for a 3" I-Pipe.

thank you very much!! seems like im like at the same exhaust setup that you have even down to the tips lol. how much did it cost for you to install it. my car is completely stock. so what would you recommend i upgrade alond with it? thanks a bunch!

My install was $170. That included installing the Cat, Cutout, Muffler, and Tips, along with making a 3" S-Pipe and Tailpipes.

I would order a bigger I-Pipe to help with the sound and give a little better performance. Personally, I like the 3", but some people like to stick with 2.5" or 2.75". If you want 2.75", you can get one from a V8 F-Body. With 3", you will loose a little low-end torque, but you will gain a whole lot up high.

You should also free up the intake, if you have the money. Get a Whisper Lid and a K&N filter ($180). Also do the Free Ram Air mod.

With all this, you'll be good to go...for a while! :D

I just got min installed new Dynomax ST, new tailpipes, and 3.5'' slashcut tips.

100 dollar install.. mine sounds alot like the movie clip above.. not as deep though.. I'm on the stock cat... i'll be getting an electric cutout and catgo soon.

You will be happy with it.

thank you very much! i seriously appreciate it. i have the free ram air mod and so far it has helped. im going to order the wisper lid or possibly get that new FIPK from K&N that just came out. what kind of cat did you get and when you made that run, did you have the cut out open or closed?? i want to get about the same sound cause hearing yours really changed my mind. thanks alot!

[98Camaro3.8]

:D Cutout was closed in that vid. Vids of the cutout open are in my sig. It's a Catco Cat. More info can be found: http://www.camarov6.com/cgi-bin/ulti...&f=25&t=002839

Man, you got reamed! You should not have paid nomore than $100 tops.

$100 for the install, 35 for Tailpipes, and 35 for S-Pipe & reducers....not really that bad.

yup! my friend ordered before me and i saw post after post that this was the best one out. so they hooked up and everything and it was pretty loud. i know they were meant that way, "thunder", but going on the highway and traveling for a bit was really bad. it sounded good dont get me wrong, just i thought it would be kinda mellow but real deep. well it was real deep and real loud lol. so i looked at Matt's clip and that is more the sound i want and its not all loud and stuff. just right. i know it takes time for the muffler to break in but ehhh.
