I've read pleanty of good reviews on the Dynomax Super Turbo exhaust system on this site, so I've decided I'm going to go ahead and order it from Summit.

I really want to know what it sounds like, been searching and can't find any sound files on the 'net. Any of y'all have a soundclip I could listen to?

 

I don't have a soundclip (yet) but I just purchased the Dynomax cat-back for my newly purchased '88 IROC-Z. I know it'll sound different on my car 'cause it's a 5.7L but for what it's worth, here goes.

The car's idle is a lot deeper than before. Not louder mind you, just deeper sounding. (That's definetely a good thing 'cause I've grown tired of driving really loud car's - see my LT1 firebird in my sig. )

I guess the best word to describe the sound is - "mellow"

Cruising around town and you can barely notice any difference in the overall volume. Very subdued actually. As a matter of fact, it may even be a bit quiter than stock but that's probably because my old muffler was nearly 18 years old

Even at wide open throttle, it's not that loud. Nothing like, say, a Flowmaster or Hooker. It's louder than stock for sure, but it's got a really nice tone to it with absolutely no raspiness at all (DEFINETELY a good characteristic in my opinion). No popping on de-acceleration either, just a nice clean, refined sound.

I got a substansial increase in power as well but my scenerio is a little different then most. The previous owner (or the guy's at the dealer) threw on an exhaust welded together using various sized piping. My Y pipe went from 3" down to 2.5 for the cat (which looked like it came off a honda - way too small) down to 2 .25" half way through the intermediate pipe.
The other half went down to 2" and then to 1 5/8" just before the rear axle. From there they welded it onto the stock muffler with some sort of half-@ss'd adapter !!

Clearly it was a huge restriction so the full 3" Dynomax, obviously, helped out tremendously.

I couldn't be happier with this exhaust. It's got a nice deep rumble and ther's no drone in the car out on the free-way. It doesn't attract the cop's attention and I don't have ri-cers's pulling up to me at every stoplight wanting to race me

The super turbo muffler's out-flow Flowmaster's "80 series" by a huge margine (I'm sure all you Flowmaster guys will love hearing that ) and is, at worst, equal to hooker's Aerochamber muffler's - in respect to how well it flows.

I'm sure you'll fell a noticible difference inperformance in your day-to-day driving.

(GMHTP magazine put this same exhaust on a 3rd gen Firebird and picked up 2 tenth's in the 1/4 mile. That's a huge improvement and proof of this system's great performance)

I'm assuming you'll get similar results from this system on your car aswell. I hope that's what you were looking for. Hope your happy with your new purchase.

Hope this helps a bit.

I'll post some pic's soon and get a sound clip !

I posted one of mine with headers almost a year ago. I "think" gumby hosted it for me.

 

I have it on my 91 firebird, It will make it deeper and a more noticeable i idle. Imo it made my car alot lounder (i also have a high flow cat which i think makes it louder). 650rpms-3500rpms nice above that you'll kno its a six believe me.

 

What kind of high flow cat do you have? When I order the exhaust system, I'll go ahead and get a high flow cat too. Catco makes a nice one that I'm looking into.

 

ive got the catco cat. fits great, get that when you get the catback. i noticed, once it broke in, a nice difference in tone. nice low sound for a v6, especially at idle.

 

I have a dynomax cat

 

catco cat and dynomax catback here,awesome sound

 

Pace Setter Exhaust makes the headers and also pipes & mufflers.
I went with a Magnoflow direct fit CC from Summit for $113 price.
My stock muffler is from Walker, who also makes Dynoflow.
I've got Dynoflows on my Vette & they sound just fine.
V6s have "hard time" sounding right due to lack of cubic inches!
At idle they're ok & generally when ya step on it, it "sounds like a 6" which isn't so bad, either.
I have a flowmaster on my other V6 & it's just slightly too loud for my taste. And in teh "echo chamber of my 85 Blazer, that does "make a difference"
Until it rusts out, my mufflers work fine.
