New Budweiser Chev Exhaust w/ pics
I have always preached that exhaust noise does not equal power and was proud of my stock exhaust. The BudChev has always been a stealthy fast car.
So I don't know what came over me, but I'm a hypocrite now. A few month back I was able to pick up a ZZP 3" 304 downpipe locally for cheap. $70 Canadian, brand new. I just kinda hung on to it. Slowly I start putting together the rest of the parts at work and Wednesday I had a friendly exhaust shop do 'er up. Total overkill. http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/e...t/IMG_2875.jpg http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/e...t/IMG_2877.jpg My exhaust is now completely custom 3" stainless, front to back. Even the y-pipe does not reduce - 2 3" exits. It's got 2 14" Magnaflow mufflers with 2 14" long 4" resonator tips. I think the work looks totally tough - very race car-ish. I'll have better photos of it in the air when my exhaust guy emails them to me. http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/e...t/IMG_2880.jpgView down a 4" barrel Noise was such a big concern of mine that we added in a 3" 24" long resonator. It does not help. Its a loud low rumble. http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/e...h_MVI_2891.jpg I'm not sure I like it, but the performance gains are obvious. It's going to take some getting used to for sure. I haven't had it out on the highway yet. Next week I will likely retune if I can find the time to go to Cambridge (about an hour on the highway) - I'll get a good listen to it then |
sounds good, i like the exhaust tips, i want to do something to my car but i don't know where or what i should do? good job on the bud chevy!!
|
You ricer!! JKJK Thats probably my favorite looking exhaust on a monte Ive seen yet. Very nice job!!
|
Great job on the exhaust! I'm kinda jealous...
|
Looks good, but I can't stand that sound. I really hate V6's with exhausts on them. Just doesn't sound right.
|
well, first of all most of us only have a v6 and we are always looking into dual exhausts with some extra sound! just my opinion!!

Oh, I hear ya! I'm not a fan of the sound either. I was really trying to muffle it but failed miserably in that department. Its a crazy free flowing exhaust, but I think I be changing the mufflers out. The Magnaflow's are not doing it for me.
Any suggestions for quiet, but good performing 3" mufflers? They have to be fairly small too. |
Borla mufflers seem to be quieter.

Hi `Brent, I really like the look and the sound. Borla's are great, but I like'em the way they R...Thanks for taking time from your `life to post/share with your Monte Family. Need a drive by or going through the gears vid 2 really judge your system ? It's difficult to get the effect from just start & rev's : )
