Custom Exhaust

[Carotop]

Alright I wanna do a custom 3 inch exhaust and I kinda wanna keep to sound down so it seems stock and I'm wondering what exactly I need to do for the job and to keep the noise down

3" is way too large for a stock (or even modded) V6. You will loose so much low-end torque, whatever top-end benefits you see will not outweigh the loss.

how bout 2.5 or a really restrictive cat huh huh?

[TeeJay3800]

2.5" would be good if you have a 3.4 DOHC which is all about high-rpm HP. If you have a pushrod motor, personally I would recommend 2.25".

[Carotop]

Yah all I got is the 3.1 so alright 2.25 it is and how bout sound is that gonna make it just a little different or alot louder?

[TeeJay3800]

2.25" is stock so the new piping alone won't make it louder. If you use mandrel bent piping that would definitely help flow. Personally, I like Flowmaster mufflers, but any high-flow muff will work. You can run without a cat, but I'd recommend a resonator then to keep the sound tuned.

since ya wont be modding the car much, id say 2.25 mandrel bent or 2 1/2 regular bent pipes.

[Carotop]

What do ya mean I won't be modding it much? Well so 2.25 I will probbaly do then and that will help flow throughout cuz I just got a new cold air intake and I probably will be machining the plenum out some or swapping it with one from a Berretta

[jeremy]

stick with 2.25 mandrel bends and call it a day....

[Carotop]

I already got the intake I need flow that will go in and out easily its called performance

[Dannymik]

yeah what he said

[Carotop]

Alright where can I get the pipes from cuz I might just wanna do it all myself cuz I got basic expertise

Do you fully understand the engine you're dealing with..?

[Euro]

so you want a custom exhaust done, but you dont want it loud?? i dont get it

[Carotop]

Well I don't want it ugly loud if ya know what I mean and what do ya mean do I fully understand the engine?

[Carotop]

So does anyone know where I can get pipe?

try a pipe store....some cigar places sell em too...

[93CutlassSupreme]

any auto parts store will have short lengths of pipe.

 

 

for pipe over about 3 feet you'll have to get it from a muffler shop.

Alrighty folks thank ya very much
