hey guys, i was wondering if anyone had any good exhaust ideas for my 1996 m/c z34. i want a full cat-back system, any ideas for mufflers that would sound good and free up some hp as well as be wallet friendly. and should i replace my resonator with a glasspack or an aftermarket resonator? i was watching videos on youtube the other day and i got an idea to do my tips like a corvette. i still have my stock tips and they look almost identical to vette tips except smaller. would this look good on a 96? also should i go with 2.5 in piping? thanks guys, i look forward to seeing alot of replies.

 

Here is a link to the catback I have.

You can get it in stainless or aluminized and you can order a magnaflow resonator with it (recommended, I wish I wouldnt have removed my resonator). I have the 2.5" stainless kit and I am running flowmaster 40 (knockoff) mufflers. I really like the sound, but mine has drone since I dont have a resonator. If you keep the resonator and go with the flowmasters I guaruntee you will LOVE the sound.

 

thanks man, i have been reading a summit catalogue and i had picked out some turbo mufflers and a glasspack and all the piping bit idk if it would sound good or not. and what is the biggest difference between a resonator and a glasspack?

 

and someone told me a few weeks ago that the mufflers used on stock '05-'09 mustang gt's would sound really good on an lq1. is this true? i have a chance to buy a pair. should i

 

its hard to tell with the mufflers. You would have to just try them to tell. I dont know of anyone running mustang mufflers on an LQ1.

A resonator doesnt have fiberglass packing inside like a glasspack does. Thats the biggest difference. A resonator will rid you of drone and rasp and a glasspack will act as a muffler. I wouldnt run a glasspack AND mufflers. I wouldnt use a glasspack at all IMO, never liked how they sound. I would just use a resonator and two mufflers.

 

thanks. i had to remove my pipes i had put in place of my mufflers yesterday because the place that put them in used pipes that were too thin and are rusting through in a few spots. i havent been driving it for about a week and i wanna do my exhaust the same day i fix my trans bc where i cut the mufflers, the are under the car and when i would get into o/d my interior would vibrate and rattle >_< and i hateeee that. im thinkin about just buyin two turbo mufflers and saving up more money later on.

 

thanks for the input. this link is for an old video from the day after i first cut my mufflers off. tell me what you think. you can also chech out my other videos of it. look me up on youtube. my username is mrcokane69. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh_jZG_9eAo
