Damn that shit looks nice! Are the Flows restricting any HP. I heard they are literally Slowmasters on LS!'s. Just wondering if it's the same on the good ol' LT's. My buddy had a flowmaster and it sounded like one bad bitch!

[Adam]

These are 10 series race mufflers and they flow great. The slowmasters are the 40,50 ect series. This car sounds wicked.

[Ninety5PoloZ]

My setup is magnaflow dual in dual out 2.5" muffler, Hooker LTs, summit X pipe, 2 boxes of mandrel bends, and about 80 hours of my spare time with my metal band saw and my lincoln (SP) welder. I cut off the 3 bolt flanges on the headers and added the flowmaster 3" to 2.5" ball connectors, then chopped up the summit x pipe and went from there. I still need to get the PHB relocator since the pipes bump the stock brace on hard bumps.

Also I'd like to add the the clamps at the axle wouldn't stay tight enough and the pipes were sagging down in the pics. The car is also lowered about 1.6", but I have only scraped the headers a couple of times when I took a road I knew I shouldn't have.

Heres another pic after the new clamps were installed...

Idle clip off my phone, not that good but you can get an idea. I'm going to get a good video hopefully before winter, but I'll have to see

custom 2otl pretty sweet, but ground clearance is bad up front.

custom 2otl pretty sweet, but ground clearance is bad up front.

HAHA yeah, but the headers are out of my control. I want to get a set of LPP headers, but money is tight right now so hopefully I'll be able to pick up a set or bite the bullet and get the kooks.

Thanks for the compliment too man :)

[sdmws6]

Ninety5PoloZ, that fabrication looks wonderful, but DAMN that sits low! I wouldn't make it 2 miles away from home with that exhaust haha.

[Ninety5PoloZ]

Ninety5PoloZ, that fabrication looks wonderful, but DAMN that sits low! I wouldn't make it 2 miles away from home with that exhaust haha.

I know the headers sit low, but you have to remember that the car sits really low. I'l probably getting some strano springs so that should raise the car up just a touch. But as long as you don't have any speed bumps in your area its fine. I pull into driveways with an incline and don't scrape at all. My brother knows a guy with a 95 mustang with a 347 that was giving me shit about my exhaust being too low and not being able to drive it, but then he pulled out of the driveway and scraped the hell out of his headers LOL I can pull out straight or at an angle and the exhaust doesn't scrape at all. And just remember that the I pipes were sagging really bad when I took the pics, but the post below it shows that they don't sit that low :)

Thanks, I have alot of time into it so hearing compliments always makes a guy feel good :D

[bricez28]

i feel ya with the headers bro they're a good 2 inches from the ground lol

[bricez28]

it also doesnt help that i have a 45 degree driveway and i still wanna l;ower the car.
dos anyone know anyhting about front airbags?

[Camaro_94]

I made the LM2 exhaust system fit without buying the LT1 conversion piece... Using only the stuff they gave me in the LM2 system :claps:

I heard it was quite common, but still, it saved me like $80 or how ever much that little conversion piece thing is.

If anyone wants to see.. I'll take some pics and post them up.

[Ninety5PoloZ]

i feel ya with the headers bro they're a good 2 inches from the ground lol

Really and your at stock ride height? My headers are at ~2.25" right now with a 1.6" drop and they are the hookers that don't tuck up for shit on the passengers side and hit the floor on the drivers side LOL

[bricez28]

my car is lowered slightly, and the pacesetter y pipe is shitty

[Ninety5PoloZ]

my car is lowered slightly, and the pacesetter y pipe is shitty

Yeah I have heard that it hangs pretty low. It tucked up good on my buddys formula though :confused:

[landstuhltaylor]

Yeah I have heard that it hangs pretty low. It tucked up good on my buddys formula though :confused:

It's probably because we have worn motor mounts that are sagging. The driver side tucks up perfectly but the other side had to be at an angle so it's pretty low. Despite that, I have only scraped it once.

[Camaro_94]

Yeah I have heard that it hangs pretty low. It tucked up good on my buddys formula though :confused:

Yeah, they dont hang too low on my Formula either. I was really worried about the ground clearance, but it hasnt really ever been an issue for me.

[hyperzone]

Alrighty! Time for me to whore out my shizznat again! I have Pacesetter ceramic LT's going to the TSP X rumbler setup (http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=196&catid=56) dumped at the axle. Sounds really loud but still good.

And lastly, here's the same headers and same xpipe setup on a buddy's LS1 car.... although he had a hefty cam... Yes, its LS1 but, it sounds good none the less... and we know the LTx's sound better so it gives you an idea what this setup sounds like with a lumpy cam at least. **OH YEAH, you might notice the stock air box in the first shots and then a lid in the latter... swapped it on the spot and gained 10hp. No bullshit! haha... Goddamn LS1's!!! :cheers:

Hey Hyper I was looking at the vid and notice you were at the Dyno Shop in Santee. I've been there a couple of times for some dyno days back in the days.

[hyperzone]

YUP! That's the place. hehe.. Back when I was in the navy, stationed in San Diego. You a local to San Diego or you military?

Thanks for the 411 but i'll be in Wash St. by then and move away from San Diego.

TD'd under the axle

[95greenZ]

Heres my custom dual setup I just done this weekend. It consist of 2.5" summit xpipe, flowmaster delta force 40 series race mufflers, 3" to 2.5" header reducers, and it's dumped before the axle. The mufflers are 8x8.5x3" (part #325408). Right now I don't have no hangers on the back and I eventually plan to run them out the back. It sounds awesome, I'll try to get a vid up soon. Heres some pics.

There are some nice looking exhaust setups on here. I am running a 3" single as of now, but am liking some of the duals that are on here

[bricez28]

damn 95 green z that is an awesome set up.

[IronOutlaw]

Hey Green, how loud are those mufflers?

Are they louder than regular 40 series mufflers, they look a lot smaller. I wish i wouldve known about them before i got my 1 chambers, they are a little much for a daily.

[95greenZ]

bet it does sound awsome, looks sweet to...


damn 95 green z that is an awesome set up.

thanks guys much appreciated, I did all the work myself and took my time. It was my first time welding too.


Hey Green, how loud are those mufflers?

Yes they are smaller the case is 8"x8.5"x3". The regular 40 series is like a 10x13x4 case. I would imagine they are louder but I've never heard regular 40s dumped so I can't really say. At idle and full throttle it sounds amazing but at part throttle theres some interior resonance. I'm going to add turndowns for now so hopefully that help some on the resonace. Its supposed to be nice out tomorrow so since I'm off I'll try to get a vid up.

[bricez28]

92camarolt1 thats a kick ass sig lol. make me one!

[bricez28]

and matt, what headers do you run?

[95greenZ]

I'm running Jet Hot lts. Sorry for not getting the sound clips guys had to work on my womans car today. Hopefully tomorrow.

[bricez28]

see thats why yours fits so good, i have pacesetters theyre sooo low.

[IronOutlaw]

My pacesetter arent low at all. But i think each batch is a little different.

[Fire67]

Mine is similar to BriceZ28, except it's 4" from the y-merge back. I basically cut-up the pacesetter y-pipe I had and welded a new merge onto it.

[roadrocket]

This is a True Dual set up I purchased from craigslist.
it has Spintech mufflers and corsa type tips. Not my first choice of either but the price was right.
I will have to raise the front end for clearance (HAL's)and stiffen the shock settings a bit (12-way adj) for bounce. Then pick the smoothest, flatest road I can find to get to the Track. :D

SOunds good! I like how there is no popping on the way back down, sounds real nice man!

[Toronto_LT1]

yep,sounds nasty!

[armyb95zxc]

that's how i want mine to sound ;)

[Masoch]

I like your workmanship but am still deciding on whether or not I like the tone of those mufflers. I imagine they sound a lot better irl.

Fuckin outstanding!!

[AChotrod]

Mine are getting done tomorrow and Friday. Ill post pics when its done! and a vid clip!

[95greenZ]

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. Yeah it does sound better in person I think. I have turndowns now and it did make a little difference in tone. I thought it sounded better with out the turndowns but it was too loud inside the car, now with the turndowns it's not much louder than my old hooker catback. Video is with turndowns btw.

[95greenZ]

Mine are getting done tomorrow and Friday. Ill post pics when its done! and a vid clip!

What kind of setup you going with?

[KLaBZ28]

Mannnnn I want duals over the axle so bad this spring! I still have stock whole exhaust system. I want to put in headers take out the cat air pump egr and have a dual over the axle system with magnaflows. This thread makes me anxious!

[IronOutlaw]

Green, I wish I wouldve known about those before I went with one-chambers. 1 chambers are a bit much for daily drivin.
Sounds fantastic.

[AChotrod]

Car is at speedinc getting them done right now. I went 3" x-pipe with bullets dumped b4 the axle

[95greenZ]

Green, I wish I wouldve known about those before I went with one-chambers. 1 chambers are a bit much for daily drivin.
Sounds fantastic.

Thanks man! Yeah I originally was going to go with the 1 chambers myself, but read a lot of people saying they were loud so I decided on these. Do you have turndowns? Turndowns made a big difference on the interior resonance on mine.

[IronOutlaw]

Yeah, Its turned down at the axle. I dont have a crossover so that makes them a little more harsh sounding. They are fine now bc Im not daily driving it anymore. If I decide to put duals on the camaro im def. going with what you have.

[IronOutlaw]

AChotrod, your cars gonna be loud as shit. lol.

[StangeatinZ28]

damn you guys make me want to put my td's back on lol but i couldn't stand the noise anymore so i'm back on my Hooker

[grn95t/a]

anyone running TD's with a tunnel mounted adj TQ Arm? i'm thinking i might be in for abit of a pia installing my TD's here soon!

just gonna run some headers into purple hornies :metal::metal::metal: exhaust pipe weighs to much :laugh:

[JoeliusZ28]

95GreenZ you just convinced me not to go with single chambers, your car sounds awesome. Im going to do pretty much that exact setup, but im going to run tailpipes over the axle.

are these the mufflers you have?

awesome setup, looks like the bassani....total crotch shot though. lol

[IronOutlaw]

Just to let some of you guys wanting to run dumps on daily drivers, Im loving the quiet flowmaster catback after driving with dumped 1 chambers for a year and a half.
Dumps are cool for a "toy" but i wont run them on a dd anymore.
