Hey hows it going and nope havent had one yet. lol

Wife just had baby. Little girl Gianna 8.6 ounces.

Now that the baby is here I have a chance to work on my car. As for the exhaust still looking but I think I'm going to do what bird did....but my mind is set for Magnaflow.

Still looking guys thanks for asking.

Any comments will help out...

89-bird

Congrats on the new baby and if you do go with Magnaflow it will sound good also but cost more than the Flows do .

C_D_Z

Congrats on the baby, I think it's time for protective clothing a chair and some goggles for him/her? to watch you work on the car lol never to early to start, that kinda what happened to my brother lol.


and magnaflow will sound great, but heres a ? for anyone how will the other mufflers sound with a gp inplace of the cat?

89-bird

Any muffler will sound better with a GP or hollow cat or pipe inplace off the cat .

ckyfreak2010

thrush glass pack all the way, less weight, less back pressure, and more noise!

Check FloPro. Have the Vforce muffler on my 'Bird (it's a V8) and sounds really nice, wonder what it would be like on the V6...Here's a link to all the sound clips.

has anyone ever put larger diameter pipe like 2.5 in. with no mufflers just a cat? We had a 97 nissan truck that we played with mufflers on and finally just used a cat and no muffler and i was wondering if anyone had done this to a maro.

Hey bird good news. tomarrow (monday) I'll be taking my camaro to a show. There going to put a Magnaflow cat. They gave me a price range from 300.00-350.00 to install. For that much I hope the dirty dog puts piping from the cat. I'm going to do what told me with the piping size. Seems like a good price. I dont think its that much due to me pulling off the orginal muffler.

Hey anyone want a 40 series Flowmaster lol...

Schwinny

Sure.

Lol.

89-bird

Yes you need very little back pressureto keep it in tune though and $300 - $350 for the muffler and tailpipes and the intermediate pipe is good includeing the labor . Let us know how it sounds .

entrig00

iTrader: (1)

Alright guys finally got the work done. Here in Tucson, AZ I recommend a place called
Exhaust Works - Broadway/Swan

I got the Magnaflow exhaust catback. 3 inch stainless tip . Sounds like a V8 at idle and high RPM.

Total amount for labor and parts came out to $276.00 flat. I'm very happy and I should have a clip for you guys ASAP....

Bird I think my fuel pump or fuel regulator went out...had a very very very hard time trying to drive my camaro over there lol. It seems like I'm not getting an fuel so thats what stopping me on putting up a clip. Car wont start LOL

I'll PM you bro...

Schwinny

Have we decided the best muffler?

Cause i crawled under my 2.8 today, and theres a gaping hole in my inlet on my stock muffler.

My firebird sounds like my four wheeler!!

What to buy, What to buy...

entrig00

iTrader: (1)

My option would be the muffler with the best flow and sound....


Magnaflow



After doing a lot of research and asking around as well as hearing clips and seeing whats out there I think Magnaflow would be a good option for our V6. I decided to go with it and I'm very impress and shocked on how aggressive it sounds.

Schwinny

Tight, I know my dads 350 with Flowmasters sounds great. And besides tuners thats all the exhaust knowledge i have. We do exhaust at work all the time, but its always ricers or 98 Sebrings...

Can i get a clip of a 2.8 with magnaflows if its not too much.

entrig00

iTrader: (1)

As soon as I get my baby going again I'll get you a clip....even thou I have a 3.1 it will still sound very alike to a 2.8 with Magnaflow.

89-bird

So entrig00 you only have a single exhaust tip ? And Schwinny did you check out my vid of my car with the Flowmaster with a 3in inlet and dual 2.5in outlets and 4in tips and a Glasspack inplace of the cat ? It was originally for a v8 car so it will flow better for a v6 .

entrig00

iTrader: (1)

I went with dual. And I did what you had just went with Magnaflow. 3 in inlet and dual 2.5in and in stead of 4 I went with 3in tips. As for glasspack inplace of the cat....I so wanted to do that but I know I wouldnt pass emissions. Sounds good and just need to fix my boggle problem....

evol

ok so i dont really know much bout exhaust...but ive asked couple people that kinda know something... and they recommend hi flow cat convert with straight pipe it...any1 know how this would sound...be loud as ****... to loud...would it sound good?


sry for sounding so nooby

89-bird

If you run a hiflow cat and no muffler just pipe it will be load maybe to load. If you want it to sound good go with the hiflow cat or if you don't have emmissions check go with pipe or glasspack inplace of cat and run a Flowmaster or Magnaflow muffler with 3in inlet and dual 2.5 in outlets and you can add 3in or 4in tips and it will sound great .

89-bird

My tips may be 3in I can't really remember .And I PMed you .

entrig00

iTrader: (1)

dont apologize your good man....now as for straight pipe, dont know about that. Remember we need the back pressure. you should go to page 2 or 3 on here that way you can see the stats someone put up with the piping size...remember also you should look for performance and sound not just sound.

evol

Thank you... but to add to what i already dont know about exhaust i have no clue what that stuff on page 3 means
High number the best middle low? lol

entrig00

iTrader: (1)

I have a better idea....what kind of sound and performance are you looking for?

And also...check out some of the clips that people added on here....

evol

Well after reading the entire thread and saw how 89 birds sounded i liked it alot just deciding between the 80 series like he did or the magnaflow like you

entrig00

iTrader: (1)

Bird has a great sounding exhaust....I think sometime today I'll try to create that sound clip and video...

Now the huge reason why birds sounds like the way it does is because he took out the catl and replaced it with a glasspack. If your city requires an edmission for your car then you might not want to do that....

but it will make your camaro sound great like birds....

evol

Ok. i dont think they do here(no 1 i know here has ever said anything bout 1) but how would i find out for sure. call the state patrol or what?

C_D_Z

I would call DMV if you have one if not you probably don't have emisions?

or what state and city do you live in? you might be able to search online and find out

phoenix_rising

I'm running a goerlich xlerator on my 3.8L. IMO the best sounding exhaust for v6. nice and throaty, yet smooth, and zero rasp.

89-bird

To clear things up for everyone . It is illegal in all 50 states to remove a cat and run anything in its place unless it is for offroad use so be advissed to be careful when replacing the cat and not putting one back in . If you want to be louder and still be lawful run a hiflow cat .

evol

i live in Minot north dakota

entrig00

iTrader: (1)

Any sound clips or that? And 3.8...what kind of car do you have? I know its not a third gen unless you did a engine swap...

C_D_Z

ok that was a bad idea, how about this do you have to take your car through DMV? or what ever to have them check to make sure it's legal?

I know that in grand ron where my grand parents live they don't have to, so we register some of our vehicles out there.

89-bird

evol just run the hiflow cat and either the Flowmaster or the Magnaflow muffler and you should be ok .

evol

naw dont have to take the car to the dmv only thing we have to do there here is register the car and your drivers lisence

entrig00

iTrader: (1)

Very nice.....

now go pull a bird and gut that cat....


lol

89-bird

Be sure you don't get pulled over by a D*** cop and they check your exhaust . If you don't have a cat they can take your car and fine you up to $500,000 IIRC thats why later on I'm going with a hiflow cat .

evol

alrighty suppose thats what ill do then ust run a hiflow cat and dual magnaflow exhaust then

89-bird

I would be running a hiflow cat if I had the money to get one . Some of the universal cats are under $60 but I don't have the extra cash to get one yet .

C_D_Z

So it looks like I might get to build a 3.4 sometime my dad has figured with gas prices and a v8 and 16 year old teen it would be to expensive.

And we don't want to waste a $400 exhaust sense before it was parked over 8months ago they had the exhaust done and it has a magnaflow so I will punch the cat out later after we build a new motor.

I was wondering why it sounded so good for a v6 I didn't know it had a new exhaust

I might try getting a sound clip this week.

89-bird

That would be great .

SoSoFresh_SS

Just got my Dynomax catback exhaust installed today. I feel like I gained a little power, but I'm not impressed at all with the sound.

d00012

Do you have a sound clip?

SoSoFresh_SS

coming tomorrow

89-bird

Can't wait to hear it .

entrig00

iTrader: (1)

I'm curious....

why did you go with Dynomax?


And guess what people?.....nope.....guess again?


yup the camaro is still not working at the moment. LOL

evol

I just got my exhaust done yesterday and got it back today and i like it very much...went with what 89bird did just no cat or glassbak went with just pipe there

89-bird

And I bet it sounds great . How about a sound clip ?

Sheriff420

the first thing i did to my 3.1l rs when i got it was chop off the muffler and put a straight pipe in its place. but with a hollow cat it sounded like a stock car so i put a thrush glass pack in the middle of the car and it sounds great.

entrig00

iTrader: (1)

Any sound clips Sheriff420....I'm sure it sounds great...


Sorry guys I'm still trying to get the camaro running lol....crazy huh?

Bird keep crossing your fingers man lol
