94 olds vert Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 I want to put some new mufflers on my car. I've watched some videos on youtube and I didn't find anything I really liked. Here is what I did like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI5bIdGrK_U I know some people really like the way Magnaflows sound on the DOHC. Here is one of Jake's videos: It doesn't sound terrible, but it seems too raspy for me. I don't care if I have a loud exhaust. As long as it sounds good, the car doesn't get driven that much. I really like the way these Flowmasters sound too. I don't have a cat on my car and I have a gutted resonator. I'm trying to figure out what's going to sound the best on my car. What do you guys like the best? The OD of the y-pipe after the resonator is 2.25. Is that right? Anyone know the IN diameter of the y-pipe? I would like dual exhaust tips for each muffler. Anyone know where the get the C6 tips? Quote
RobertISaar Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 gutted resonator will contribute to rasp. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 After the y, keep it 2.25. Mines 2.5, and is a little loud, and will also give you some rasp. Although sounds great at WOT Quote
94 olds vert Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 gutted resonator will contribute to rasp. Sounds good at idle. At 1500-2200 rpm there is a lot of rasp. Quote
jake91 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 the one of mine you posted was before i got the resonated tips which cleaned it up alot the camera i used for that also wasnt that good. shaun has the same setup i did on his z only he has no resonator. i could rev mine to 6k with not much rasp my 3400 has much more here is a good vid of my old car c6 tips go to fparts on ebay they will be $55 the guy will take 45 though Quote
94 olds vert Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 That sounds pretty good Jake. What kind of Magnaflow mufflers did you get? I was looking at the straight through design. Cool, I'll look those tips up on ebay. Quote
jake91 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 magnaflow 14226 it is a 5x8x14 with 2.5 in/out offset/center stainless steel or you can get the 14225 same as mine only 2.25 but ftr i have stock pipe and went with the 2.5 anyways incase i upgraded Quote
94 olds vert Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 I'll probably just stick with the 2.25 as I don't plan to upgrade. I couldn't find the C6 tips anywhere on ebay. Quote
jake91 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 it looks like the company that sold them have moved to more new camaro parts Quote
virtuetovice Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) What about the rotted out stock exhaust? Best sound EVAR? [video=youtube;AEGC-JOqnIA] Edited June 22, 2011 by virtuetovice Quote
94 olds vert Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 DOHCs aren't blessed with the awesome sound produced by the 2.8/3.1/3100 engines. Quote
virtuetovice Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 I saw a fiero on youtube with a DOHC earlier and it sounded friggen sweet... [video=youtube;FVlpAwkQht8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVlpAwkQht8 Quote
RobertISaar Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 keep in mind, exhaust LENGTH will also determine resonant frequency. fieros have a very short exhaust system, which can prevent resonating waves(drone) from occuring. Quote
virtuetovice Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Exactly....so basically all you gotta do is keep your exhaust short and sweet Nate. Quote
94 olds vert Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Posted June 23, 2011 That's cool with me, I don't have anything to compensate for. Quote
RobertISaar Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 i used to have a calculator that would take into account at what RPMs you experienced drone, the length of your current exhaust system, allowed you to choose an RPM range outside of normal operating conditions, and then it would calculate the exhaust length needed to achieve that, but i can't find it anymore...

jake91 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) so yeah want it to sound like a fiero run the pipes out behind the front wheels like a SLR Edited June 23, 2011 by jake91 Quote
