My new 3 inch exhaust
Just finished the 3" system using a magnaflow pre made X-Pipe and 3" pipe from cats back to Flo-Tech 3" mufflers. Sounds deep yet not annoying and reasonable on the hiway. Feels stronger at top end and mid range. Now it's time for top end job!!

Re: My new 3 inch exhaust
Nice! Clean lookin' install!
  What ya gonna do for tips?What do you think about the dreaded "drone & reverb" at 1600 in 6th? Any bad side effects from your mods to the exhaust sys? Anyway that sure looks sweet under there! Enjoy it Gene!  Tom

I went with the 3" single " big pipe" look out to bumper edge, wanted to clearly state this is not stock! (Old drag racer school of thought) I will post a pic when complete. Sounds real but not unbearable, only side effect it seems to have lost some bottom end because of back pressure. Gene

Re: My new 3 inch exhaust
I wish MagnaFlow made a Cat Back for the ZR. I had it on my 84 and really liked the exhaust note. The L98 Mags are 2.5 inlets.

Re: My new 3 inch exhaust
I did the same a while back with a car. Magnaflow's largest was the 2.5" X-pipe at the time. I was pinging them to make a 3"--which they did and I replaced the 2.5". Seemed to lose a little low end. Here is their 2.5" X-pipe with their catback muffler system for the C4 in 3". Ted

Re: My new 3 inch exhaust
Demps/Assassin,
Which mufflers did you buy? The L98 or LT-1? How did you get them to make 3" and are they still available? What did you use for the cat back pipe and Xpipe? |
