So, I have decided that I want to go with a custom 3" cat-back for my SS.


I have no real place or idea to start.

I have an exhaust shop lined up, but don't know if I should get a resonator and a muffler, a resonator no muffler, or a no resonator, and just a muffler, or a straight three inch pipe from the cat back.

Muffler suggestions?

Resonator suggestions?

It is going to be 3" regardless.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

3" Mandrel Bent
No Muffler
1 to 2 Resonators

Delete the cat... you don't need it, you have a Turbo.

 

I will eventually with a 3" catless DP.

Problem is...I know for A FACT...that the guy that is doing my exhaust wants, NO parts of messing with it.


Synapse has a nice piece for 300 bones.

But it would be nice to pay that much total, from the turbo back.

Starting to understand that no cat back should cost me 600 bucks.

Bump for the people who are starting to roll in

 

this is a little off topic but i had a full 3" turbo back made for my vw jetta at a place in berlin for $700 total with a cat.

 

**** that!

The exhaust set up on a SS/TC is about the same as a SC...only there is a turbo coming off the back...and I know I could score the whole thing for under 500 bucks, including the synapse DP.

 

just because there is a snail in the exhaust doesn't mean the car no longer has emissions...

 

No ****. I didn't realize scummy people had the money to purchase brand new vehicles.

Now for a 3" cat back...I would go with a Magnaflow muffler and resonator in the stock locations, full 3" mandrel bends...this would not be a cheap exhaust though...

 

Nothing turing off p0420 with HPTuners wouldn't lettme pass emissions with.

Bump for lunch

 

Of course the car still has "emissions", but a turbo usually acts just like a cat because they are heat magnets... so you really don't need a cat when you have a turbo. Thanks for playing.

 

Case and point.

Just because Map doesn't think the world should mod their cars like most people's parents do...doesn't mean I can't, or will listen to people who go:

"ISn't IT FAST enough?"

Yes...that was me including both of ya

Now cmon hookers.

I know someone has to know about this.

 

3" pipe to a muffler.

the guy in town who built a custom turbo on his ss/sc did that with some dynomax or w/e muffler and it sounds really good and deep.

dont bullshit with resenators, just go right to the muffler.

 

yea no resonator, go on magnaflow.com and look at the straight thru "race series" mufflers, they sound great

 

arnt those race series mufflers made for v8's and such...

a guy in town had a race series on his car..and it was raspy, raspier then my old setup...

regardless, any 3 inch muffler wont sound raspy since your turbo is silencing alot of the sound coming into the exhaust.

 

2 Resonators - No Mufflers... CERT-4 Style.

 

click on univeral and it brings u to this http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/r...n.x8in.%20Oval

 

really..i got this lol

http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/02muffler.asp

 

i like option 14835 myself...

yea...then click on stainless with tips...then race series

 

yeah i see that now, and apparently their race series dampens sound??? i must have been confused with another brands race series, i beleive flowmaster does it different.

pictures dont load for me lol

 

im not completely sure, i heard one on a mazdaspeed6 and it was sex

they didnt load for me either...not sure y....but they still showed when i clicked the red x's

 

200.00 bones for the muffler.

 

you can get it at summit racing equip for cheaper

 

seems about right...

 

You have got to be kidding me...

 

hes exactly right, the "snail" acts like a corkscrew. there is really no need for a cat.

 

This is what I did on my first exhaust Steddy:

Great quality and they do a great job cleaning the sound up. I would use two of these.

Cause of no turbo, I had to put a muffler on, but you shouldn't have to...
