Powerstick, yea or nay
Hello folks, I wanted to get some input on what I am thinking of doing with my exhaust setup. Presently the Camaro has a Jegs or Summit dual catback. It is ok, but nowhere loud or aggressive enough. I have been thinking of adding a medium or long length Powerstick in place of the I-pipe and having it split and run dual tips out the rear, or possibly turn down a single outlet.
Those of you who have used or have the Powersticks, do you like them? I know they are loud. Do you enjoy them?
Specs on the car. 5.7 TPI, small cam, Hooker Shorties. There is NO cat and it has all 3in piping.

I loved my powerstick on a bolt on L98. Sounded good. Nice rumble at idle, made people think it was alot more powerful than it was.
I am thinking of ordering another for my 99 TA to replace the loudmouth 2 on it for now, until i go 3.5 or 4".
Also thought about adding the short ones to my twin turbo car but I think with the new setup, i'm gonna try quieting it down as much as I can to make it more stealthy. We shall see.

do most with these in the i-pipe, just run a single outlet or split it and run dual outlets?
I am also debating between the medium and long pipe as I have no cat and I believe the long powerstick will fit in my existing i-pipe.

I ran the medium in the i-pipe region. It fit well but not sure the long one would have worked. It was 25" overall length I think, 20" body. Gutted cat. Split over the axle with dual outlets on my car. Was awesome sounding. Not overally loud since it was a mild motor, but definately noticeable. Especially if you got on it.

I'm loving the idea of these things since they are dirt cheap and from what I have gathered, sound incredible
