Custom exhaust-what all do i need...
So i want an upgraded exhaust that has a v8 sound,so i want thrush welded mufflers,but i also want this to add horsepower too,i dont care about gas millage too much,want the power:p What else will i need to be adding to get to this,i plan on doing an air intake also!
Heres a videoof what id like to get neer,its on an 06 SS,and i know it will probaly be different cause i dont have the v8 lol 2006 Chevy Monte Carlo SS ... with Thrush Welded series mufflers and res delete - YouTube |
Quiet is honestly the best on these cars.
If you want horsepower, don't even bother touching anything in the cat-back, that just changes the sound. Power will come from freeing up the exhaust at the choke-points, which are the front exhaust manifold and the downpipe. With that said, my exhaust setup has honestly sounded the best to me out of all the 3800s that I have heard (besides the quiet stock setup, because honestly everything sounds pretty bad after 3.5k rpms) I have a ZZP SS Front Powerlog, ZZP 2.5" Stainless Downpipe with cat, and GMPP Cat-back exhaust system (which is really just a 2.5" stainless piping, 18" magnaflow resonator, magnaflow mufflers and 4" magnaflow tips) http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...austSystem.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...austSystem.jpg |
Yeah your front manafold & DP is where ull gain power, but if u want exhaust just have a local muffler shop make u a 2.5" setup with mufflers, thats what i did, got rid of my res & u bend & have 2.5" running to stock mufflers for now till i get tips for my Borla mufflers

so what i should do is get a 2.5 down pipe,then get my thrush mufflers, resonator,and tips i want(bowties maybe).I will need to replace the whole thing and i want it to rumble! lol

FYI - THe Butt Dyno noticed some extra power when I got rid of the resonator on my Monte. I did not notice much change in exhaust sound either. This could be due to factors of I have: - PLOG - 2.5 ZZP DP stainless with high flow cat - Stock dual mufflers I'm perfectly happy with the exhaust. Granted, the tips a previous owner put on are nice, I could see changing them in the future. But bigger things in the making for me. |
Yeah dont put bowtie tips on, they dont look good
