2014+ Exhaust Systems & Mufflers

[Luster]

Maybe it's just me but honest to God if i could get away with it, this is the sound i would want lol. Maybe not for an every day commute but if that isn't music to everyone's ears...well then i'm tone def.

 

 

 

Haha! I wish my Vette sounded that good!!!

lol I tagged my cousin who's also into trucks with a status of that. I told him that's the sound I wanted. To which he replied "so you want 800hp?"

 

Yes. That is correct. Lol

 

I'd kill for my truck to sound like that. I really want that Baja kits prerunner kit. And honest to God I don't have any real reason to want it other than just to have that capability. Just see a horrible road and go WOT down it laughing.

 

Though I imagine it takes some immense skill to drive that way.

I mean...really... who DOESN'T want 800hp?!?!?!

I have the Carven Type R with no resanotor or flapper valve. I do not think it is that loud. Would removing the 3rd cat help? Any benefit or drawbacks to doing that?

 

Any thoughts on this? I've been reading up on it, but it doesn't seem it is very popular. Don't want to go through the hassle of removing it to find it sounds the same as it does now.

Has anyone here ever used a muffler from black widow exhaust? I'm thinking of swapping my stock muffler and using one of their Venom 300 mufflers with the resonator in place. Looked through a couple pages but not going to look through 150+ ahah.

I've only heard online video/sound clips with 3rd cat removed and it 'appears' to have a slight more throaty sound at around 2500 rpm up. GM 'resonators' are straight through with a small tube protruding inside that extends into resonator body creating a resonance chamber to offset drone with zero effect on flow or power, however a 3rd cat is a honeycomb substrate that exhaust gas must pass through to meet California emissions requirements. The 3rd cat has a very large body with a large number of honeycomb cells (cat substrate) with less restriction than upstream main cats near your exhaust manifold.

 

With that said , I have a GM Performance catback (Corsa 3.5") and plan to modify or replace factory Y-Pipe for a better sound.

Exhaust Science Demystified

 

Although from 2005 Super Chevy article this article covers exhaust from A-Z very well.

 

Likely far more information than most will want to read but the details are explained and detailed well.

Posted for sound. Idk why but i wish i had 3" pipe piped all the way back from the muffler. Bothers me now looking at my tip from the side that it's this skinny looking tailpipe merging to a larger tip.

I went 3" from the Y and 3rd cat(which I cut out) all the way out and I love it.

 

And it's no wonder that things sounds so awesome! Sounds cammed,with intake, super charger and who knows what else!

I love the lope.

I've gotten to where i adore the sound of a cam. Though watching some videos about it makes me question whether it would be a viable upgrade for a daily driver or not. I wouldn't want to lose my low end torque in any scenario but would want the upper end gains of a larger cam.

I did the AFM delete and cam swap on my G8. Just starting the car up put a big smile on my face. I miss that lope.

Not at all. In fact it was a blast.

Thanks man. I was debating on this. I decided not to do it for the time being, but may end up doing it later. The tone is already pretty deep with the Carven Type R and no resonator or flapper. Get a nice pop when letting off the gas too.
