oldscsc Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I've been thinking about putting some new mufflers on my CSC, I just don't know which. I've only seen one or two videos so give me some recommendations if you've got any. Videos will be helpful too. I've seen one video I like, it was of a 3.1 with Flowmaster 40 series, sounded real nice. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I've always thought that the 3.1's sounded better. I have a set of Borla's to put on my GTP. But, I think I'd almost like to go 3". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 you do not need a 3" exhaust. period. flowmaster 40 or 50 series, regular or delta flows all will sound good. so will magnaflows, or dynomax super turbos. some are louder than others so be sure to do your homework and get what you want the first time. no matter what though, get a good resonator to go between the cat and mufflers.

z34Phoenix Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 my setup is pretty good! i have a high flow cat (stock cat is pretty good but wanted to replace anyway) right after the cat i have a Magnaflow muffler about 16" long unit... from there i have a glasspack resonator where the stock secondary res would have been right next to the fuel tank and then have a Y with a flow diverter to balance flow and then the dual tips. it sounds very deep and not raspy at all. http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d57/Z34Phoenix/?action=view¤t=MVI_2622.flv here is the car at the track for an idea of all out sound http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d57/Z34Phoenix/?action=view¤t=MVI_2022.flv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 sounds good..... why did you put the muff soo far away from the back of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscsc Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Well I'd really like 'er to sound hot, I know that's pretty tough with an LQ1 though. How do you guys think an LQ1 would sound with this setup (no cat to flowmaster 40 series delta flow,to a camaro tip), this 3.1 sounds bad a$$.

Andrew Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 that does sound fantastic !! i still say you would want a resonator too though to get rid of the rasp the LQ1 makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldscsc Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I know, it sound beautiful. When I heard that for the first time my jaw dropped, now I'm trying to duplicate it. Think it's possible with an LQ1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Magnaflows with a 18" res to back it up. Sounds amazing. Jamie's GTP has this setup, sounds exotic almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 White93z34 has my old Z34's exhaust on his current car, sounds amazing. I think I may have a video clip on my home computer of my car running down the track with it on. If not, I'll try to get a video clip this weekend when he is in town.

Addicted To Boost Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well I'd really like 'er to sound hot, I know that's pretty tough with an LQ1 though. How do you guys think an LQ1 would sound with this setup (no cat to flowmaster 40 series delta flow,to a camaro tip), this 3.1 sounds bad a$$. Wow that almost sounded V8-like in the lower RPMs Thats awesome! My old GP with the 2.8/5-spd sounded great in the higher rpms (3-5k) with a stock cat and extremely rotted stock mufflers. Too raspy at lower RPMs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 2.5" pipe from the down pipe to the Y-pipe 2.25" pipe from the y-pipe to the tips Walker cat 18" Vibrant performance Resonator 2 Magnaflow mufflers (dunno what model) That video kinda sucks, I should go out and make another one...

What model of Magnaflows? Both videos posted here sound good but I'm looking for the American Muscle sound...or as much as I can get...I know it's a V6, and a raspy LQ1 on top of that but I'll try...sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 The 18" res will kill the rasp. I couldn't stand the popping sound at around 2500 RPM that I had with the 12" res. Went up to the 18" res and it was gone. FWIW, the body on the Vibrant 12" resonator MIGHT be 8 inches long, the pipe at each end is at least 2 to 2.5" long. Go up to the 18" resonator and the pipe on the end is shorter, making the body take up more of the 18". As far as I know Vibrant is one of the only companies that measures their resonators from end to end, most companies advertise the "body" length.
