Default Re: Flowmaster Cat Back and a Haibeck chip

thought I would share what i modified on the flowmaster system that did 2 things 15 more rwhp and made it sneeky quiet at the same time. I was looking through jegs' and came upon this ultra flow muffler that had duel in and outs . i got a 3in one and replaced the resonator with it . went 3in off the headers to the x pipe muffler then just used the exisisting flowmaster system from there. it is as quiet as the stk system when cruizing and just loud enough when you get on it . Its about 40% quieter than the original flowmaster . Now i can plant my foot without worring about everyone hearing (cops) and she is faster too. one guy says its sneeky fast. that this car tooo quiet to be that quick. that of course after I dusted his 04 z06

That's a very interesting combination...I like to hear my Z roar, but I also like it not to drown everything out when it's loafing....and of course I want maximum power (that is the point, eh?) Might have to look at this combo, thanks for the info.

425hp at the rollers, that's smokin'...with that kind of power, I wonder what kind of gains you'd get doing the heads at this point....seems like they might be minimal for the cost factor involved, but you won't know 'til tou do it. I'd be pretty happy with 425rwp even if I had the full porting package, anything over that is icing.

Thumbs up Re: Flowmaster Cat Back and a Haibeck chip

That would be exactly what Marc and Hib's gains combined would be. Marc says 10 on his website (chip) and Hib had 12 on the Dyno (Corvette Action Center article).

Default Re: Flowmaster Cat Back and a Haibeck chip

here is what we did coreys' dyno 409.9 .i got this new exhaust mocked up @ 8am dyno stk flowmaster but a friends dyno in bakersfield ca 408.2 put the car on the rack changed things over @11 am modded flowmaster ex which now consists of 3in exto the ultra flow 3in x pipe muffler then the stk 21/2 in flowmaster from there. the changes 3in off header instead of 21/2 and the ultra flowx pipe muffler instead of the flowmaster resonator . final dyno run 425.4. so she improved about 15 hp. it would be fun to try to port the heads but in reality I cant afford the 6k to have that done. what i want to do now is get another set of 90 rears so I canput some drag radials on and go to the strip. If anyone knows some one willing to part with some 90 rear wheels have them pm me. thanx
