...and they had a big 'ol box for me. They told me I had to sign for it. So I took it inside, and I photographed it...

 

They knock my door too, but this is UPS guy ^^, whole new suspetion is coming ^^.

 

i must admit , that is one fine looking box . the smooth straight lines caught my eye first thing . the shape is true classic beauty . the baby on it's lap is also very good looking . now are you going to tell us what's so special ???

 

wish i got a box like that. boy, she sure is purdy. all i get are billsw and more bills.

 

I give up what's in The box doc?

 

dam it why are you offline now i wanna know whats in the box too

 

Goodies from SLP. Muffler? Tips?

 

Oh hey, did I order that?









That's the SLP Loudmouth 2 3" stainless steel cat back with 3.5" dual tips.

 

I was right.

Looks like my TSP Rumbler cat back (bullet muffler under the rear seat & duals after the axle), just with different tips.

 

How much for the kit?

I'll be installing my y-pipe to my 2055's today. The 16829 Magnaflow and cat is to come after I run a tank through her (get garbage out and not clogging the new cat). Ill be posting a video of mine with just headers and y-pipe. Then with the full kit.

Please post a video and or pictures of the install, and then add them to the exhaust section. Thank you.

 

I got it for $369 from Ebay. I had considered the TSP Rumbler but I don't like the tips that it comes with. I'll eventually go with long tubes once I swap my 700r4 out and the fact that this is a 4th gen exhaust will make it simpler to do. Plus I've always loved the sound of the LM2 with cats. I'll definitely be snapping some pictures of the install since I couldn't find any real documentation of modifying 4th gen exhaust for a 3rd gen.

 

@ stephen how is interior noise with the muffler under the seat?

im considering switching to that style setup with a sweet thunder muffler... supposedly similar to the mufflers from gmmg for a lot less money

 

is it loud loud loud loud or just loud like the flowmaster?

 

Wait, can someone please enlighten me on what's involved with installing a 4th gen exhaust on a 3rd gen?

 

IIRC it should just be a different hanger mounting position.

 

I liked the box in the first photo best of all. It roused all my angst about the uncertainty of life. The exhaust inside is all about self gratification. Bring back the box!

anyone? what does it sound like? is it loud loud or loud loud raised to infinity?

 

someone post a record of the exhaust of what it sounds like? Also is 2.5" more than enough for a 350 putting 400 at the crank?

 

Here is the full article.

I H8 that I can't just quote something but have to say something too. My comment is my quote.

 

It will be pretty loud. Yes, definitely louder than a flowmaster 80 series. You can find videos of this cat back on YouTube. I'm sure it'll have a lot of drone because of the muffler location but that kind of stuff has never bothered me. I wouldn't run this without a cat or a seconds bullet in the cat location because of how raspy they are catless. If I ever get sick or bored of the sound I will switch to either a B&B bullet or the new oval Borla XR-1. The hangers are in the same location but of a different design than a 3rd gen, so some bending and modifying will be required there. The I pipe won't line up either, I need a 45 degree bend to connect to the cat, not to mention that I need to add a hanger to mount to the existing one next to the cat.

 

I installed a Pacesetter catback from a 95 Trans Am and a Borla from an unknown 4th gen on my cars and they happened to have the exact same hanger positions.

The only major difference is how the exhaust mounts to the cat. Everything else is dead on. I had a Gale Banks fourth-gen exhaust on my car and it worked out just fine.

 

Define "fourth-gen"....LT1s & LS1s have Y-pipe runs & hook ups.

 

I believe mine was for and LT1. The shop I took it to just cut off the flange it had and then bent up another piece to connect the exhaust to the cat.

 

I got around to dropping my old exhaust today. I lined up the new exhaust to get an idea of what I had to modify then I realized that it has the same hanger locations and design, only they were just on opposite sides. All I had to do was swap the rear hanger mounts and all was well. I only have everything loosely fitted, it still needs a little adjusting. I also need to figure out what I should do about adding a hanger near the cat location. Pics to come soon.

 

How soon?...
