Re: Al and Pete Fuschion - First Sounds
Here's a quick summary of what this system costs to replicate:
DynoMax 17228 @87. 174 Z06 tips w flapper 170 SW Xpipe 350 3" SS pipes. 300 So about 1k + install. Doesn't hurt as much if done piecemeal. Not including headers. |

What is your opinion on the double walled versus single walled tips and the different styles, sizes? I'm on the fence to cut off the B&Bs to put them on the Dynomax 17228s. Looking at maybe something similar to the Z06s in a 4" double walled style. Thanks in advance. Craig

Re: Al and Pete Fuschion - First Sounds
I'm in for $10 too; this really helped me out with some decisions.

Re: Al and Pete Fuschion - First Sounds
Craig,
As Pete pointed out, we think the double wall makes a difference in the sound and probably toning it down reducing resonance more so than the single wall B+B tips. Pete has the B+B tips on his, while Bob G and myself now have the Z06 "trumpets". In fact, Al and Pete thought my 5.7L sounded like BobG's 7.4L. I had considered cutting the tips off my MFlow muffs (I like the looks of those too) but would rather go ahead and sell them instead of hacking them up. Besides the flapper mechanism was already an integral part. It's also my opinion that the Z06 tips look as if they would have come stock on a ZR-1 as I think the wheels do too. Now what I am hearing and feeling is the motor thru as close to a 3" exhaust as you can get and still be able to converse and listen to the radio at cruise. Don't get me wrong this isn't a quiet system, but it's the kind of system you could drive and just listen to. But boy when you hit the accelerator and the flaps open, you absolutely know it. When the weather gets better I may ask =Jeff= or PW to help record a flyby at full bore. Al took it out from his shop while Pete and I stood by to listen and you could here it going down the street and Al having to back off due to tire spin. |
