kelleyperformance Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 well ever since i put the roll pan on, my dual rear side exit exhaust has shown its leading pipes from behind..... i hate that. also, after dropping the truck more the pipes got crushed and the cats failed so i needed to change. so this is what i had: -dynatech LTs w/ dynatech cats -dual 2.5" piping -custom made twin 3.5" oval tips, dual -magnaflow dual in/out 2.5" dia 22" body muffler w/ crossover ---------- ok so now, i cut it all off from the headers back.... i did dual 2.5" again, mainly cause there is only like 4 feet of pipe. this time, i attempted to quiet it down in fear of how loud it would be. well i failed, despite my measures. current setup: -dynatech LTs -no cats, dual 2.5" piping -magnaflow 22" body dual in/out 2.5" muffler (same as before) -dual 18" resonators, 6" diameter -two 4" angle-cut double walled tips, layed sideways to align to body (similar to corsa tip) SO here is my delima/idea.... i orignally had that 22" magnaflow dumped, and LOVED the look. but i couldnt take the drone, so i had pipes ran out the back. the drone went almost completely away, and i was satisfied. (also, at that time i installed the T56 which had my 80mph cruise @ 1600 rpms). but then the cats went out, like three times. the last time, i said ok no more cats, and i wanna try a new look (less weight, more free flowing, easier to take off, etc etc) so i did the lightning style. i hate the sound, and honestly the tips hit the ground sometimes. my idea was to do a setup similar to stewart (imposterSS), but thats out of the question due to the extremely custom design and their uniqueness. now its down to two 4" straight cut, double walled tips out the roll pan. this way i figure no more visible piping... i hate that. it also should help remove the drone signifigantly. BUT at the same time i was gunna use dual 3" (cause the length) with true dual setup... each bank getting a 22" body magnaflow muffler, adding resonators later if necesarry. any opinions, pictures, etc?? i am REALLY bored and have like hundreds of hours of free time, so help me out please thanks all!

kelleyperformance Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 to help put my ideas in better perspective: the two rollpan options are as follows- cut bottom out, like TBSS or SSR: (also good tip to use, 4" slash cut) or the inside rollpan idea i had, which i remember street scene making one for the regular trucks: SO here are the tips, help me pick the best... i will list them from most favorite to least: -3.5" double wall -4" 15 deg cut single wall -4" 15 deg cut double wall and heres the guts; im hoping two of these mufflers in addition to the x-over will take care of noise but still be aggressive as hell @ 3": 22" body 3" in/out muffler 3" x-over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss wrecker Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 i would do the tbss style with the roll pan and 3.5 double wall tip because that would look the best in my opinion on that beautiful truck of yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpoSStor SS Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I think it would look great if you were able to duplicate the cut-outs in the roll pan shown here: I'm sure there's a customizer somewhere in Florida that can duplicate that look.

NashSS Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I didn't think the magnaflows droned. I have my two borlas dumped right before the rear axle and have no drone at all but then again I don't have longtubes and I have factory cats.

ocelot729 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Have you looked at Corsa by chance, they have a awesome sound like the Manga's and no drone I think, I love mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
