hi i have a 87 irocz and has a quiet flow on it and i hate it wish it was louder what brand should i change two??
its a 305 single cat fake duals

 

A flow master 80 series fits right on. I have it on my 86 iroc 305 with stock manifolds and high flow cat and it sounds pretty badass

 

Thanks ill look into that one I was thinking flowmaster but wanted to see if there were any I didn't know about and mine is stock headers with a hollow cat

 

Are your "stock headers" exhaust manifolds or headers because they're two different things. If indeed you do have headers your exhaust will sound a lot better and louder but if you have the stock exhaust manifolds (the ones that came with the car from the factory) then the exhaust will still sound pretty good especially if you have a hallowed cat. It won't be too obnoxiously Loud but people will hear you rolling down the block. YouTube also has a lot of videos that could help you choose the best exhaust setup for you.

 

It's what ever came from the factory it does have a lil rumble with the quiet flow but it just don't have a meaty deep rumble that I would like

 

This will give you some idea as to what a Flowmaster 80 series cross flow muffler sounds like . It definitely has the Flowmaster sound but the volume and tone will very with each cars set up .

 

If you want a better sound and not super loud and also want to keep the stock lookng tailpipes a Flowmaster 80 is not too bad. My 3.1 RS has an 80 on it and it's not bad even on a v6.

 

I just put a Dynomax Super turbo on my GTA 5.7. Has a nice low bass rumble at idle a nice growl when you stomp on the gas. But not as loud as a flow master. If you want loud and agressive get flowmaster.

I got the catback for $212 from Summit. Flowmasters will set you back around $800 ish.

 

Anyone ever try a Magnaflow muffler?

 

Do you have the 2.5 inch from the y-pipe to the muffler on this 80 series? I just purchased this muffler and i am waiting for spring to a 2.5 system

 

I have a magnaflow muffler stock catback intermediate piping magnaflow muffler with Corvette rectangle tips on slp headers sounds low while cruising but at wot peoples eyes open i call it a sleeper exhaust but i have heard people eventually get tired of the flowmaster because its to loud but to each their own to me flowmaster does not have a tone difference as it gets louder or iddle and has annoying resonace

 

Cool, The car gets worked on more than its drivin, so loud is ok. i'll be doing mostly highway and im hoping i dont get alot of drone cuz drone pisses me off big time

 

I think you should be ok as long as you add a resonator in the middle of the muffler and cat and you should be good giving the flowmaster good tone

 

This is from Flowmasters site = 80 series muffler
✓ Aggressive and powerful exterior exhaust tone
✓ Noticeable interior resonance
✓Made in the USA.

You will hear the exhaust and engine in the car with the 80 series.I have the American Thunder Flowmaster 3" cat back and I go without playing the stereo most of the time just to listen to the car. Love it. As mentioned earlier if you want a sleeper at idle with a nice growl at WOT than the Magnaflow seems to be a popular choice.

 

What Flowmaster kit will set you back $800.00?????? Last I looked on Summitracing.com the Flowmaster catback kit was around $400.00 or less. Even the stainless system is not $800.00

Yes a Turbo muffler is a BIT louder than stock, but IMO not even worth buying. When I had my 72 Nova it had a mild 307, Headman long tubes and some turbo mufflers dumped. The car was about as loud as my Dad's stock Ram 4.7 exhaust. I put some Flowmaster 40's on there and it sounded awesome!

 

I don't know where he got that from either. The Borla cat-back isn't even $800.

As for the topic, I have a Magnaflow on my Trans Am, and I like it a lot more than the Flowmaster on my IROC.

The Magnaflow doesn't really drone at all. You can hear it, but it doesn't get mind numbing like the Flowmaster. It also has a real nice tone to it.

As you can tell, I would recommend the Magnaflow.

 

I don't own one so I don't know how close this video is to representing a Magnaflow exhaust. I have only heard them from a distance.You must scroll down a little to see the video.

82 firebird in canada so that means no cats

also i'll be running headers y-piped with 2.5" right to the 80 series muffler.... should sound aggressive... If i get lots of drone i'll add a resonator

 

Post a vid would like to see what it would should if you do decide to add a resonator

 

I need help there are so many options out there and brands I don't know where to start.
I have a 1991 Camaro stock exhaust I need all new. 3.1 v6

Looking for best mpg and not to loud it's a daily driver something that sounds solid.

So I need ..

Header
Y pipe
Need new CAT for California
2.5 pipes

Am I forgetting anything brackets?
I want a good system something that will last for years this is my last car

I'm changing everything. Getting rid of all stock exhaust

I can spend 900$ ish

 

You should be able to stay well below that number, the most expensive thing would be the muffler and MAYBE the y-pipe. If you were expecting to spend 900 i would go to a muffler shop with a good bender and get them to make you a custom exhaust...

 

I already took a video with the complete stock exhaust and once its all done in a couple months i'll take the updated video so we can hear the difference

 

"Pypes Violator" would be my vote! love the sound and couldnt be happier with it!

Pypes Violator (After)


Magnaflow (Before)

 

That Magnaflow sounds nice and refined.

 

Here's a video the PO took of the Magnaflow on my car.

 

Sounds good!

 

Ive got a flowmaster 80 im selling

 

Spintech is the best I have ever heard. Borla would be second.

 

Got any good link to clips?

 

ronusmc, are you running at cat?
