Re: LG4 305 Exhaust Questions

The most important thing to do with an LG4 is to go to a 3" cat and cat back exhaust (y-pipe or headers if possible), you can pick up 30+ hp by going to a 3" system.

Sound is a function of the muffler - you can get a 3" inlet muffler to make the car sound the way you want.

Re: LG4 305 Exhaust Questions

Try running open headers haha, that sounded great on mine! Seriously though the stock LG4 system is best as scrap metal. I would upgrade as much as you can afford, its honestly the cheapest power you can bolt on to the car. Just dont go overboard and buy 1 3/4 Headers just because they say they are the best. With your LG4 you can get away with 1 5/8 or even 1 1/2s. Look into the Headman LT and Y-Pipe setup. Thats my recomendation to you.

And your Muffler is what is going to make your tone, I have an 80 Series Flowmaster on my GTA. But I dont really like it, its loud but doesnt have alot of tone. Check the boards exhaust clips to find what you want.

And dont give up on your LG! I was running mine into the 14s with a Cam/Intake and Exhaust...and that was at an altitude higher than Denver!
