Quietest 3" Catback on the market?
Anybody know what the quietest 3" Catback on the market is?
I'm going to install 1.75" primary headers with 3" collectors to a 3" Y-Pipe, and put a cutout before the 3" cat.
I want to keep the car as quiet as possible when it's on the street... I don't like to attract attention.
Thanks,
-Jim

I like my SLP exhaust. With SLP Tri-Y headers, it's nice and quiet with a mellow rumble at idle and cruising around town. When you really get on it is when it screams loud with a distinct grumbling tone. Very nice and different from the Blowmaster exhaust I used to have.

Take it you do not have the 305 anymore or you will lose a ton of low end torq with 1.75 primaries, really need a super high reving 350 or some kinda stroker for that size primaries.

I had the dynomax cheapo catback on my v6...but it was only 2.5"
I guess it doesnt matter because I'm using the cutout when I want serious power anyway.
Thanks fo rthe help.

They worked even better when I also later swapped heads and intake and put a cam in.
Absolutely loved them on my 305, and love them even more on my 350. Sounds amazing with my cat-less 3" Hooker Aerochamber cat-back...soon to have LT1 tips

I'm using an SLP dual-dual muffler (from a 4th gen car with optional SLP exhaust) and it's both very quiet and also free flowing. The 4th gen guys only replace it if they want something louder.
The downside: it's quite possibly the heaviest muffler out there.
