74scamp -> RE: which after market exaust system is best (6/26/2006 11:43:47 AM)
|
3767 - Some have Borla, I have the Magnaflow. mnboy will, I'm sure, chime in with his solution [:D], which I probably would have done myself had I known. He kept pretty much the stock pipe, but replaced the "suitcase" (large part underneath) and the parts at the tail pipe by either just filling in with more pipe or Flowmaster mufflers. There is some dispute as to which part of the stock system consists of the mufflers, and which parts are the resonators. That goes for replacement systems as well. But, whatever you call them, they are there and can be replaced in several different ways - either by complete new factor systems, i.e., Borla, Magnaflow or others, or by piecing together a "custom" system yourself. There is also some debate over how much actually changing they system really helps. Borla, Magnaflow and other manufacturers claim a certain hp and torq increase, but other people claim there isn't that much to be gained in performance, just sound.
So, it's pretty much up to you as to what you want. There are sponsors of this board that sell systems from basic to just about everything. One thing to keep in mind - whatever you do with your exhaust system, you should update the intake to one of several Cold Air Intakes (CAI) that are available.
Hope this helps. I know it can be confusing, but, as said above, it's pretty much up to you. Others will chime in with what they have and how they like their systems. I like my Magnaflow and it was easy to install myself. mnboy likes his custom exhaust, but that means taking the car to a muffler shop or someone you trust with a welder. So, good luck, which ever way you go.
