Help with my Exhaust
OK I have Flowmaster series 40 on my monte with the resinator deleted. and its been a pain in my side! it sounds bad to me, and very loud! I use to have a v6 camaro with the same flows and it sounded great with no cat! I guess I am just dissapointed and by reading everyones threads, I agree that there is way TOO MUCH DRONE! and you can feel it in the whole car!
I want a great sound when at WOT but not so loud my neighbors complain when I goto work at 6 am and I just start the car
my thoughts are that I get Dynomax Super Turbos 2.5" and a u-bend delete, I bought a race resinator but have not put it on yet. I will do so after my exhaust decision. I need some input please!!!

RE: Help with my Exhaust
well first i would ask what year monte do you have. and what engine, and if you have a cold air intake aswell.
personally i think the flowmasters were your first mistake. they are quite restrictive for a performance muffler. im assuming you want dual tips. and like you said quite at speed but have a nice deep idle and a throty sound at WOT.
this is what i have currently and it did the trick nicely:
the entire system is 2.5" dia
-high flow cat
-magnaflow can muffler
-glasspack muffler
-Y-pipe into a pair of stainless tips.
i think this will give you the sound you want. im am very happy with it. but again i have a 3.4L DOHC engine and not many people have this.

RE: Help with my Exhaust
I have a 2000 SS monte, with intake but not in the fender wall, I dont know how I forgot to add that!
I have been leaning towards dynomax but I dont know there sound on my car with/without resinator.
Keep in mind I dont want to sound like a import, in any way! I want the muscle sound that my car should have, thanks for your replies there helping
p.s I also have water on my passenger side floorboard! seems like its coming from the blower motor, not sure though

RE: Help with my Exhaust
I have roughly the same setup 04MonteLS has. I run regular manifolds (through this winter, TOG's next year). A Random Tech 3" downpipe, High Flow Cat, U-Bend delete, Resonator still in, and Dynomax Super Turbos.
Quiet during the day, loud at 3 AM in a quiet neighborhood - about the sound of a truck. This seems to be a great setup for me. I would get something different than Random Tech if I was to do it again....Probably the ZZP with Cat delete.
