I just got a 2.4ss and one of the first things i want to do is the cat back exhaust. its a auto and i was wonderin if anyone has vids or sound clips of a exhaust on a auto. idelin n drivin. im lookin at the GM performance exhaust. but i dont want it to sound ricey.

 

It shouldn't matter whether its an auto or automatic, it'll all sound the same

 

Umm what he said.

Transmissions have nothing to do with the sound of your exhaust system...

 

with that said I already said that but in less detail

 

ah i see. i thought there would a difference in sound cuz of the shiftin..i guess not.

 

Nope. Just think about what your transmission does...it transfers power from the engine to the drive wheels. Your exhaust system is wastes carried from the combustion chamber during the exhaust stroke. Your exhaust output or engine output isn't being effected by the transmission (directly).

 

no it dont... well not when changing gears anyways

.

 

You're referring to the consistency of sound. A driver with a manual can determine how long he can press on the clutch and have no sound from the engine or putting any engine load.

But overall sound...no...there isn't a difference engine to engine.

 

Haha, he got owned

 

so wut wud u recommend for a good cat back then?

 

Depends on what your looking for and how big you want it.

Magnaflow
GMPP
Corsa

are all good catbacks

 

i mean i heard the gm is a big gain from stock..but how big is the exhaust of all of them?

 

I Just Put A Gm Performance Cat Back On My 2.4 Saturday Not As Loud As I Thought It Was Gonna Be But It Sounds Cool Can't Really Even Hear It Unless Your Over 3000 Rpm's. You Can Feel The Little Kick In The Ass Though When You Get On It. Hope This Helps.

 

u got a 2.4? if so could u get a vid of idelin and drivin

 

I've heard the GM Touring xhaust sounds better than the Performance overall.
Couple of peeps here have mentioned it's a bit throatier utnil you get to upwards of 5,000 rpm or so.

 

Sounding "good" or "bad" is all according to the person hearing it...

 

i'll get a sound or video up soon as it warms up here it's like 30 below zero here. but there are a couple of sound clips on here.

 

oh yeah and the only difference in sound btwn the two (manual/ auto) is the engine braking... god I love the popping noises my car makes on decel....

and damnit sean learn how to drive stick and trade that bitch back in for a manual.

 

haha funny. f*** manual in new york traffic. lol yeah but a auto always makes the same back to back runs. manual...so u have some driver error that could possibly happen. yo paul u think the GM performance exhaust is a good choice. to keep my good warranty
