  • If I ever get my $600 from the gov't...

    I'd like to do a new exhaust system.

    I have a couple idea's in mind, and am looking for some input so I can price things out, get some quotes etc...

    I should mention that I have the stock tubular manifolds, and do not plan to replace these anytime soon.

    1st idea was to follow in slo6's steps and go true duals with Borla xr1 mufflers. I'd also have to have cats because I have emissions testing here and they put a mirror under the car. No big deal. My concern is if a shop would be able to weld a flange to the stock manifolds at some point to get this on the car. I know the manifolds have a pipe within a pipe, so I'm not too sure if that would work out. If theres some way to do this that I don't know about, fill me in.

    2nd idea is a setup that many import exhausts use. Looks something like this:

    I would use an Aero Turbine resonator on the I-pipe, and then 2 borla xr1's at the end and exit this at the rear bumper. I think this would sound pretty good, have limited rasp, and be much cheaper than getting true duals set up.

    Input?

    Actually Jordan (Blacksport) had a shop build it for him. Slo6 bought it off him.

      Yea I knew that he bought it off someone else but wasn't sure who.

      I'd love to do the true duals I'm just not sure how that would work with the tubular manifolds?

          why not get a stock dual exhaust off of a z28 or y87 car

          you have the look of true duals without the annoying bumblebee import car sound

            I already have a 3" flowmaster exhaust now. I'm replacing it not so much because of the sound, but its a few years old, and its starting to rust out pretty bad. I already have the look of dual exhaust. I want the sound.

            And no, there will be no fart cans... I already said im going to use borla xr1's.

            :rolleyes:

              x2 thats the route I went, great sound, I'm so happy I went that route, it's cheap also :rock:

              EDIT: clip incase you're interested, revs went to a little over 4k

                I don't want another chambered muffler. I don't really care for the sound outside of idle

                  What f'n emissions test are you talking about? Where are you at?

                  BTW, does anyone know what a single borla muffler sounds like on our cars?
