BlueZ31 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Im currently running a glasspack style exhaust system as a cheap replacement for old worn components, but im at a crossroads. On one hand, the glasspacks still not blown out, and sounds really nice, BUT my target goal for this motor is low end torque (which is what my cams are ground for) , and ive heard that welded style or chambered exhaust are better for low end power, is this true? any tips or brand suggestions are welcome, thanks!

datsun723 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 my idea of the best muffler is one that's straight on through stick with the glasspacks, or a dynomax ultra flo....anything that restricts is only going to rob you of hp and torque....

SHO-Z Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I have a supertrap. It is suspose to be tuneable with the plates. I have not installed it yet so really do not know how well it works. I have seen pictures of road racers using them so they should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueZ31 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 so with the cat in place could i just do a side exit without any muffler and not lose horsepower or torque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun723 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 you could lol. but it'd be hella loud!! but then again, if i could i might do jus that. there are time where i wish my twice pipes were louder. but the cat is VERY restricitve. i actually dont have one at present...passing the smog is going to be an issue i'm going to have to deal with maybe get a high flo cat and then if you want to, do jus the straight pipe out, no muffler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 but the cat is VERY restricitve. i actually dont have one at present...passing the smog is going to be an issue i'm going to have to deal with Depends on the cat. A 1978 vintage cat can be very restrictive due to age and design. A 2008 vintage can has no measurable affect on engine performance. As far as mufflers: Borla.

cockerstar Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I just turn off my hearing aid. John speaks words of truth. I'm planning on a borla xr-1 for the exhaust on my future engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z lion 71 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 yeah i like the magnaflow straight through mufffler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbidsunroof Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I installed a Flowmaster 44 and actually FELT a performance increase! It sounded good but had a nasty resonance that boxed my ears so I switched it to a rice oval that sounds quieter. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
