ryans01z28 · 10-27-2009, 08:43 PM

Ouch. Guess ya need to try something else

ryans01z28 · 10-27-2009, 09:15 PM

ya mabe a flowmaster I guess

00Silv4.8 · 10-27-2009, 09:18 PM

dont do a flow master for the love of God, if you think the magnaslow is bad your gonna hate the slowbastard.

I had a magnaflow, LTs, no cats on my truck and HATED the rasp I got, so I swapped to a spintech and it sounds amazing. I would recommend the super pro street, but if your wanting a little more mellow I've got the super street, if your interested PM me, I really want the super pro series

put a cutout before the new muffler

legendarysouls · 10-27-2009, 09:32 PM

i got a magnaflow catback on a basically stock 99 z28 and got no rasp

But ya like no idle noise

and i didnt notice and backflow or power loss

BUT i do love my borla on my T/A its has an electric adjustable Exhaust switch, loud at wide open and quite when closed

ryans01z28 · 10-27-2009, 09:37 PM

it just really sounds like a stock muff. 2me. barley hear my big cam. crist almighty I'm pissed!

Ironxcross · 10-27-2009, 09:46 PM

get a cutout or something. hell, lop off the exhaust.

johnp94 · 10-27-2009, 09:53 PM

I was getting my flowmaster exhaust installed today and these guys were doing all kinds of cutting and rewelding. I was standing under the car realizing no matter what they f*#* up the car will still run. We live and learn. Can you put the loud mouth back on. I've just learned flowmaster isn't very loud but my z28 will be mostly show. So not too worried. chear up if we got money to mess around with our exhaust, means we are doing good. John

ryans01z28 · 10-27-2009, 09:56 PM

dont give me the "put a cut out in" or cut the exhaust off crap. I'm tryin 2 make a not as loud sound lol if that makes since. anyone run the borla RX series? if so how do u like it & what do u think it would be like with my set up in the sig?

c6r · 10-27-2009, 10:20 PM

I have the B&B with no cats and it's a love hate relationship, I want to order a borla or dyntech round muffler from the summit racing catalog but i am not sure they will fit?

Snowcr4sh · 10-27-2009, 10:23 PM

Look up "Detoxx" on here or on youtube. He has vids of his old setup (LM with a borla XR-1). I thought it sounded great. I love the sound of the XR-1's, sounds mean as hell even on a stock ls1.

Detoxx03 · 10-27-2009, 11:26 PM

I used to run the borlamouth but it was still a little raspy so I went with the slp powerflo w/ an e-cutout and won't change it unless I can find someone to make me some td's the way I want them.

metalmechanic · 10-28-2009, 12:56 AM

you have the headrs and the y, leave off the ldmth or any other mufler , just weld in pipe, thats how mine is.

hitmanws6 · 10-28-2009, 01:04 AM

dynomax bullets are pretty damn loud

desertLS1 · 10-28-2009, 01:13 AM

what cam are you running?

thewholefnshow1 · 10-28-2009, 01:26 AM

Get a Borla XR1 or A Medium I think 20" Powerstick (www.classicchambered.com) in there and take off that Magnaflow.

LSX Truck · 10-28-2009, 01:55 AM

magnaflow is reknown for it's drone and rasp!!

What are the cam specs? I don't see it listed in your sig.

Single pattern cams usually have more of a steady rolling beat vs the more random, choppy idle of a similar sized cam on a split pattern, in my experiance. Also, the same lift/duration cam on a 112lsa will be much more choppy than say a 114 or more.

Basically, if you're comparing your idle to other cars, maybe it's just that your cam specs don't lend to a very lumpy idle.

i had the borlamouth with lt's and uncatted y and it sounded great its quieter than the loudmouth and louder than the magnamouth if that gives you an idea you can hear it at idle and also hear it while driving but not to the point where you cant hear yourself think,but loud enough to know its there and a total beast at wot. Only reason Im getting rid of it is because I'm going a totally differant route with my car you can have it for $85 shipped if you want it I can provide pics if you would like to see it.
