Custom Exhaust

[USAFPILOT]

I would personally like to see pics of some custom exhaust setups, rather than the aftermarket mass produced stuff out there. I'm not sure I want any of them. I like the look of the stock rectangular exhaust on my 94 and don't want to give up the look, but I want the increased flow and sound some of the other systems give.

I plan on spending the bulk of my exhaust budget on some headers built by Corey H, and want the catback to include highflow cats some sort of resonator or x-pipe and a livable set of mufflers. Some drone I don't mind, it is all about the HP and ability to accommodate future big cube upgrades.

I'd like to spend 2K tops. If I bought stainless works xpipe and the B&B I would be spending 3K easy.

I wish the flowmaster catback had one exhaust outlet so I could just cut up my stock system and use the tips.

Does anyone have pics of the new magnaflow system installed?

I guess if I cant come up with anything I'll go with the B&B and Corey's headers. I think it looks the best.

No snapshots but I believe with your desire to retain the factory "rectangular" tips I'd consider a system using the Super-Turbo Dynomax 17689 & 17690. These are true 2.75 inlets, retain the LT tips and flow very well. They're "advertised" to among the best.

With your headers, performance cats and a custom mid-system it could be ideal. They're somewhat more aggressive than stock and the balance of your exhaust modifications will enhance that.

To keep from "whacking" your system you might pick up an LT4 take-off and start from there.

Search this PDF for either 17689 or 17690 to take a look.

There was a fellow on the CF in December that was offering up a pair very reasonable.

It's certainly not going to do anymore than "nick" the budget!

Just make your own..

I like 3 chamber Flowmaster sound. Cut the stock tip off, weld to a single in/out 3 chamber Flowmaster. Want more, buy a universal dual kit and start welding. I have done this on many cars/trucks. If you can't weld, talk to a local muffler shop.

i did a custom exhaust for my white 92 consisting of 3 in pipe a unique crossover and 3 in super turbo mufflers with dual 2/1/2 in exits . i dont have a way to take pics. but there is a sound clip of her at the strip on 1/28 at fontana. its on utube screen name zeusone and the vid of my car is jetta vs corvetteat acd .total cost of having it done 750 ,i had tips from a 90 exhaust put on the exits . at cruze its nice and quiet and i improved 2.3 miles an hr over the corsa that was on the car..

Stock pipes with an LT4 resonator and Dynomax Ultraflow 3" mufflers:





I loved the stock/sleeper look of them, but with headers the resonance was unbearable.

you still use this? if not what did you change to?

if you change to the super turbo mufflers you will lose the resonance. at least mine doesnt have any and thats without a resonator

I wanted straight-through mufflers for the performance (though maybe a SuperFlow flows enough, Callaway used them on their custom C4 exhaust systems).

The Corsa was basically me deciding I was sick of messing around with the exhaust. It's not my ideal system (I love the stock look for one) but it's good enough where it counts.

i so understand on getting tired of messing with exhausts .the super tubos seem to flow enough as they out performed the corsas by 3 tenths and 2 miles an hr at the strip .
