Just bought a Badmab header and LSJ downpipe, my LE5 was clogged and flex was broken. Anybody else running this with stock catback? How does it feel? What's it sound like?

sounds like you need to learn how to search the internet

I've been searching. Haven't found anything on Badmab, LSJ DP on an LE5 with a stock catback. It's too specific. Perhaps you've found some and can post here? Thanks.

I wouldn't expect too much of a difference, stock dp and cat back are still pretty restrictive. Might be a little louder.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I wasn't going to do anything with the downpipe until I M62 it. But I have the GMPP intake so I might as well free up the exhaust a little. I might do an axle back if I find one for a descent price to open up that bottle neck.

Every little bit helps. Check ebay for a cheap exhaust, tsudo seems to work well for people, and it's easy enough to change the muffler if you don't like the fart can.

Why would you even bother welding on an axle back?

^ probably meant cat-back. axle back is basically just a muffler swap lol

No I meant axle back, because the factory exhaust is 2.5" back until the axle, wen the bend constricts it.

Alright didn't know that, my mistake. Is it worth the cost vs buying a cat-back?

Unless you need a stainless steel cat back.... It's the same

Nice that's alright then. Put a twin loop muffler on it like that ion, I want to hear one on an LE5 lol

From the ripoff header thread:

How'd that eBay header turn out? I'm thinking I'm gonna go with 2.5" custom axle back pipe with aero turbine 2540i. Love the sound and physics.

Haven't heard of that one before. Good luck.
Still waiting for the guy to install the header, so far all looks good.

I just got my LSJ down and a Badmab header, gotta get gaskets and toss those on this week.

U didnt search long enough, because I ran the badmab with stock lsj downpipe for about a year, and have mentioned it on this site a few times.

To answer your question, it will work well for your application.

You ran that on an LE5? How was it?
