chadz34 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 This thread is going to be good, in a nutshell were going to know what everyone is running for exhaust. My two vehicles are both ungodly loud now. 9/10 DIRT Rating - 1996 Chevrolet Lumina LS LQ1 - Magnaflow Cat, Dual Cherrybombs (30$ Each) 10/10 DIRT Rating - 1992 Chevrolet Lumina Z34 - Stock cat, Dual Flowmaster 40 mufflers. It should be noted clips should be attached. I dont have one yet for the Z34 so I'll leave it. That clip is almost 4 years old, the glasspacks are much more broken in and loud. Maybe I'll make a new clip today if it's not too windy. Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) My Cutlass (3.4) is running with no cat, no resonator and dual Maganaflow mufflers. That is when I first got them installed and still had a resonator on them. That was shortly after I removed the resonator. These mufflers still don't have more than a couple hundred miles on them yet. They need to be broken in more. In the second video you can tell how much deeper the tone is at idle. The Grand pirx has the 3.1l has one flowmaster 40 muffler and the other side is a stock muffler. I'd like to replace both with some new Flormaster 40s. Edited December 17, 2011 by 94 olds vert Quote
chadz34 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Posted December 17, 2011 Hahahah YES! Couple nasty clips from an LQ1 and the 3.1 Prix sounds delicious as well. Love the hole in muffler mod! Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 Yeah the old stock muffler has a couple of holes in it. The flowmaster one isn't that bad. Until it fell off one day. Quote
chadz34 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Posted December 17, 2011 I like it better with the incomplete exhaust! So dirty! Come on guys get some videos up of gnarly exhaust. I'll take the cake when I get one of the Z34. It's laughable. Quote
brake Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 I can assure you I have the worst sounding exhaust on the forum. It's actually pretty good (all stock exhaust) when you're standing behind the car....but that rotten EGR tube doesn't help matter up front or in the cabin. Quote

I'm sure there are some NASTY systems on this forum. We need a clip of assured worst sounding car! the LS when I had no cat literally almost killed me...but fuck did it sound beastly. Quote
skitchin Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 I don't feel like my cell phone captures enough of the low end sound, but here's my 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix L82 - 2 very worn in Flowmaster 40 series, stock cat, resonator, and a WAI. [video=youtube;FknEi9WiN8A] [video=youtube;oULzetn-Nkw] And to give you the range of my phones sound, here's my 454 1975 GMC Sierra in a tunnel [video=youtube;8CG97Ai_l8E] Quote
chadz34 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Posted December 17, 2011 The Flowmasters sound like they broke in NICELY. Mine are still so dirty it's embarassing. That truck is the definition of BALLSY exhaust. Big block Chevy FTW. Quote

That truck is the definition of BALLSY exhaust. Big block Chevy FTW. Thank you! I'm anxious to hear your z34! I'm pretty satisfied with the tone on my GP, not too loud at low rpm's but throaty enough when you open her up. Truck has all sorts of goodies, but the exhaust note is mostly from cam, headers, flowmasters, and sidepipes. Quote

No problem man, as of right now though, I regret the Flowmaster choice....It is SO raspy on the Z34, I hope it quiets down a bit when they break in, they are still brand new and have the tinny raspy sound you'd expect form the LQ1. It's gonna get looks tho, because it's super loud. Gonna do a clip of the LS today. Quote

My new EGR tube should be here Monday, I'll R&R it then and if I remember (and it's not frigid) I will get before/after videos. No promises, though! Quote
chadz34 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Posted December 17, 2011 Does anyone have the 96-97 DOHC headers? Or did everyone think the price was rediculous? lol Quote
skitchin Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 Nate, is your GP's exhaust fixed in this video or still missing a muffler? Either way it has a nice sound, as stupid as this may seem, it has me curious about running non-matching mufflers to get a warmer tone. Like magnaflow one side flowmaster on the other, etc. [video=youtube;O61qfz2y9xI] Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 John, when I took that video the flowmaster muffler had been welded back on. But I like your idea of running a Magnaflow on the other side. That's something I'd try out. Quote
WhatTheFehl Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 For maximum Lumina power, though...(Someone needs to post the video since I'm on my phone...) Quote

GOT2B GM Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 My old Z , no exhaust after the DP Quote
jeremy Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 [video=youtube;BP5vprufBj0] that sounds like absolute dog shit.. Quote
urbex Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 that sounds like absolute dog shit.. It kinda sounds like a 85 year old smoker. Quote
Euro Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 I was going to come in here to say that any 3800 with non-stock exhaust will win this one. I was wrong. Quote
chadz34 Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Posted December 18, 2011 that sounds like absolute dog shit.. I honestly can't even believe it sounds that bad! Like holy f*ck! Quote

I was hoping this thread would have some life and go a while with some exhaust clips, but that Z34 has single handedly taken the cake, easily. Quote
