I had my custom 3" dual exhaust installed this weekend. What a difference between a high performance muffler shop and your local "muffler guy." Here are some pics:

1) This was my original exhaust, a single 3 chamber flowmaster, WAY TOO RESTRICTIVE, we took it apart and the sucker was toasted after less than a year.


2) This is the new 3" dual exhaust (2-chamber flowmasters, mandrel tubing), the computer seems to love it, the ***-O-Meter says MORE POWER all the way around! And it actually sounds like a Flowmaster now!


3)The custom X-chamber, made from 5" pipe, seems to be doing a great job of giving both low and high range power.




4) We also tried the Dynomax race series, they look nice but the Flowmasters sound a lot better.


Sorry for taking up so much space, but I love this new exhaust, I couldn't stop driving around all weekend! First kill was a souped up Ram, taught an M3 not to cut me off, can't remember the rest...

Killer system are those 40 series Flowmasters? Could you give me the part numbers of the mufflers. Thanks Dennis

 

Brimstone- who did your new exhaust? I am somewhat local, and am looking for an upgraded system. Your looks the nicest so far. Can you give me a name, #, price?

Nice system Mike, just a couple of questions tho. 1st Are you still running cats?
2nd Have you done any other mods to the exaust beside and X-pipe and mufflers?
3rd If you are not running cats are you passing emmisions?

 

Now that's a sweet exhaust system, enjoy

 

Hey guys, thanks for the compliments! It is truly a professional install, you could almost do pull-ups from it - and man does it sound like a hot rod coming down the street.

I don't know the part # for the mufflers but they are the 3" 2 chamber Flowmasters.

For all you guys in So. Cal - you have to talk to Jose, he does some serious high performance work for a lot of the pro-street cars and professional race teams. He is also coming out with an adjustable flow/backpressure system. Call him at (714) 543-5992 and tell him Mike referred you.

Burninout,

I'm running the stock cats, besides the cat-back system I also have JBA headers. If I had more money to spare I would probably go for either Bassani or long tube headers, but I don't know about the risk vs. benefit of replacing or removing the cats.
