Exhaust

[soccer2live]

looking to order my full exhaust set up tonight..

set up will include,
x pipe
mufflers
tips
high flow cats
maybe new 2.5" pipes

ive been wondering if it is worth upgrading the pipes to 2.5" to be honest i just want some input.

advantages if any?
disadvantages if any?

thank for your time

oh and resonator delete.. and most parts will be magnaflow

 

[FASTLLS]

Less back-pressure (a loss of some is good).. Maybe a deeper tone..

 

[soccer2live]

why is a loss of some backpressure good?

 

[FASTLLS]

Less exhaust restriction = more power

 

[BlackLS06]

And what about intake?

you have one?

 

[FASTLLS]

I feel a sales pitch coming on.. :lol:

 

[BlackLS06]

hey makes no sense to upgrade the exhaust without the intake...

 

[JoshMcMadMac]

For as much as you will spend on all the parts, then installation, it will probably be cheaper just to buy a Magnaflow catback. The high-flow cats will most likely not be worth it, either.

On Magnaflows site the high flow cats MSRP is nuts.

 

[FASTLLS]

I BELIEVE he was going to use the same cats as me.. Which were 90 for the pair.. And they are high flow..

 

[soccer2live]

thanks for the responses..

i have an after market intake.. one of my cats is out so im going to replace both with the same thing fastls has.. i will then sell my old cats and get about 120 for both.
to be honest i just want to know how the 2.5" will affect the hp/tq i know less restriction more hp but less torque?

 

[Villalta]

what kind cats are they? and do they really make a difference?

 

[BlackLS06]

I dont think it will really make much of a difference.

clogged cats would be the biggest restriction after the intake.

next restriction is the weird lookin halfass cat that comes before the resonators the H-pipe and then finally the mufflers.

cut all the crap out and weld in xpipe with straight pipes are you have a free flowing exhaust.

Who said that?

 

[soccer2live]

i dont want anything crazy loud.. im looking for a more "exotic" sound.. louder more v8 like.. but not straight pipes.. thats crazy talk..

why the high flow cats? becuase they are cheap and according to fast they work!

 

[soccer2live]

i thought back pressure helped with torque maybe i am wrong?

straight pipes in place of the resonators going into the mufflers. thats what i have.

 

[soccer2live]

no cats?

 

[BlackLS06]

I have oem cats.

intake - cats - xpipe - straight pipes - mufflers.


stock is:

airbox - cats - hpipe - resonators - mufflers


I dunno if you want my sound...but its a cross between and stang and a euro V8 sound.

 

[soccer2live]

that is what i will have.. but just not oem cats cause one of them is bad.

Past experiance... The Hi-Flow cats WILL be worth it!
Just my 2 cents

 

[FASTLLS]

A little is good.. Too much (Like using Flowmaster mufflers) will hamper performance as will Not enough (Like straight pipes)

Past experiance... The Hi-Flow cats WILL be worth it!

Agreed.. :Beer:

 

[BlackLS06]

They should be called NO-Flowmasters.

Exactly! They are more restrictive than OEM stuff
