Blown 346 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Straight pipes are not going to allow any back pressure and you will end up hurting power. It will also sound like crap. There really is no need to do anything other than replace the muffler. The stock systems on these trucks are more than sufficient unless you start modifying the engine and or building one.

EmoWalrus05 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Like he said just replace with a muffler it sounds good with a new muffler in place you will end up losing power if you go straight power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossypho Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 so like cat backs o asume your talking about? any good places to find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Like he said just replace with a muffler it sounds good with a new muffler in place you will end up losing power if you go straight power Unless your running wide open straight pipe will not help. I believe in letting your engine breath but that's a little too much lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powell Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 A lot of guys like to run Corsa cat backs, I'm going to be swapping my dual DNAs for a xflow manga flow in the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Corsa is the best IMO. Im on my fourth vehicle with corsa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down under Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 http://www.xforce.com.au/about-varex-remote-control-sports-muffler.php Have this on my Trans Am love it. I cruise around sounds like a nice V8 and hit WOT opens up at 3000rpm and just screams...... Slow down again let the revs down back to street mode. Mine is connected to my Tach I love it so much going to bring a couple to the states when we go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Magnaflow also offers a catback for these trucks. Its mostly a preference with catbacks now a days. Any HP numbers you see with the catbacks is normally with other supporting mods to get the full potential and power increase. Dont be surprised if you dyno the truck and you dont gain what the companys list for power increases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatTallCanadian Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I had a corsa sport catback and yes as everyone else does, I loved it. unfortunately my muffler shit the bed and I didn't want to buy a new one. I put a straightpipe on inplace of the muffler and it sounded AMAZING. Stock exhaust manifolds, stock cats, then a y-pipe and straightpipe after that essentially.
