Question about exhaust

jmargel · 08-03-2002, 01:37 PM

If I dont get GT, I will be putting on dual exhaust from a GT. Question is.. Should I get 2 or 3 chamber flowmasters? Are their any sound files that I can listen to, or would someone make some up?

Im also looking into a C&L 73MM Mass Air System. I heard that will improve the sound as well. I'm looking for a deep growl (I DON'T want a ricer sound).

Im also looking to add leather to it. So before I invest another $1,000 into my car, I want to make sure its going to be worth it.

Also with the exhaust should I use H-pipe or none at all? I hear conflicting stories, how does this affect the sound? One more question.. The GT dual exhaust is 2.25", correct?

Thanks for your help!

GT is 2.25 best to go no bigger than 2.5 on a v6. You need to do either a h-pipe or x-pipe to equalize back pressure.

GodStang is right again. Also, the C&L Mass Air System will improve performance 6-9 HP, but will not affect exhaust sound. It allows more air to flow through the intake, has nothing to do with exhaust (I've got one, I swear by it, but it did not change the sound).

Mass air meter is good. My cold air induction is made from lowes parts. It is great. Later.

Godstang - had a lot of respect for your opinion until you said your mass air is from Blowes. Now I have lost all respect. You need to shop at Home Depot (guess who I work for).

GodStang · 08-06-2002, 06:37 PM

I am sorry. It is a 50/50 chance on which one we go to. They are both the same distance away. You can make the same CAI from Home Depot if you want. I do not like Jimmie Johnson so Lowes is going on my crap list. I like Tony Stewert so Home Depot is way up there. I even have a Home Depot racing shirt. I hope to one day regain your respect:-)

Godstang - could you post the details on how to make a CAI from Home Depot?

Thanks!

That is the one I used. It works out real nice. Cost me $10 plus the K&N. I had to modify it some because it did not fit right for my 1994.
