hi i have a 1986 trans am it has a 2.5 flowmaster on it but its weak


i wanna put on the loudest legal sounding exhaust on it

im thinking thrush glasspacks,cherrybombs,or magnaflow

anyone has suggestions plz let me know..

 

Classicchambered.com sells chambered exhaust pipes. I got one for my iroc and it is freaking loud (although I still have to finish the rest of the exhaust after the chambered pipe, that extra length of piping should mellow it down some). It's really nothing more than a straight pipe with some baffling.

 

ok ill check it out thanks

 

The idea is not just to sound loud, but to sound loud and GOOD. Glasspacks not only sound like crap, but they have been shown to actually reduce horsepower.

i have a thrush glasspack 2.5" in/ out. i think it sounds great.

as far as glasspacks sounding like cr@p- only the cheap-o ones sound like crap. that's why they're cheap. the thrush glasspacks aren't that much more expensive, but the quality and sound is much better.

chambered exhaust is a completely different sound. personally, its not my thing. seen a bunch of 3rd and 4th gens with that setup.

bottom line- do your research and figure out which you like best. the chambered mufflers are more expensive, but it's worth it if it's what you like

 

A straight-thru glasspack isnt gonna reduce HP any more than any other straight-thru muffler like a magnaflow. The only difference is the packing, the quality of metal, and the shape of the baffle scoops inside.

Its mufflers like a flowmaster, that use chambers, that will start raking up the backpressure.

 

That's impressive. That's the first glasspack I've ever seen that sounded like a real muffler, and not a piece of crap.
I suppose I stand corrected.

 

glasspacks have been kicking *** for decades i dont know why everyone hates on them, same people that hate on 15" wheels, white letter tires and air shocks it seems

 

Haha, i've got 15" wheels and white letter tires, but no airshocks, my car sits high enough in the rear as it is. Looks good to me though.

 

not meaning to hijack this, but u got ne pics? planning on getting some wheels soon, thinking outlaw II's, centerlines, pro stars or M/T et's. (probably outlaw IIs with radial t/a's, the cheap route)

 

well they just suck, period, and can cause major damage to the car

 

yeah

 

I have loved my Flowmaster catback while deleting the cat at the same time sounds great

 

For the record, I just got my exhaust finished. That chambered resonator from classicchambered.com sounds amazing in front of a summit turbo series muffler.
