Exhaust Options
#26
Ok thanks for all the help. I'll do a bit more research and I'll post what I come up with. I appreciate everyone's responses. From what I've gathered I will go stock exhaust with either super turbo muffler or straight through muffler, or GMPP exhaust if I can find a good deal on one. Thanks again.

I don't think I would notice the difference between using the super turbo muffler or a straight through muffler. There may be a small difference between the two but I don't think it would be very significant. I'm ok as long as I don't sound like a Civic with a fart can.

if you put a lnf muffler on your car, you WILL sound like a honda with a fart can. it sounds like ****. been there done that.
i know have a badmab header, zzp 3" catless dp and a lnf catback (since its 2.5 all the way) and a dynomax super turbo muffler. i had the super turbo on my last 2 lsj's, its my muffler of choice. yes it doesnt flow as well as a straight through, but doesnt sound like ass like a straight through either.
i have the 2.5 center in/2.5 offset out

Lol that's good. I'm still fighting myself on this. If I can get a GMPP Touring for around $100 would it be worth it? Is this exhaust more restrictive than the GMPP Sport? If so, why?

Thanks, I just went through that thread and all I saw was that the touring has a quieter sound to it. I'm just curious if there is a difference in their performance.
