Howsabout I get some paper-cuts and you pour lemon juice in them, why don't you?!?!

I've looked at all of the flowmaster mufflers and based on the description/sound clip/price I like the 40 series delta flow the best. The place I'm going to get the exhaust done is a dealer for flowmaster so I can talk to them about it. If the 40 won't work or sound right on the SVX, I'll go with the "milder on the outside, significantly quieter inside" 50series

2.5in/2in x2 out $116.54






BTW, thanks for the quick responses and all the help on this. I think svxcess and svxfiles are the people to ask questions about exhaust.

No, SVXfiles is the one who should be building you're exhaust. Give cash where credit is due.

Well, I love my Flowmaster 80, deep and throaty. I cant wait to replace the old cats with the high flow and get rid of the stock resonators.

Right now it sounds great all the time, on mid accel it sounds deep, I love it, on full throttle it sounds... well, loud but straight, like a racecar, sounds like a 350Z with nismo or hks exhaust.

Somebody ever tried to remove everything (Cat/resonator) and keep the stock muffler?

Or simply remove the cats with the stock muffler..

How does it sound?

Thanks

I think with everything except the muffler removed it wouldn't mmake enough backpressure so you would be loosing power and wouldn't be able to pass emissions at the same time.

So after checking out prices and different cats, mufflers, etc. I think this should be a good exhaust setup

2 inch piping
into
2 Aero ar20 resonators
into
2-1 magnaflow high flow cat 94007 dual 2in/single 2.5 out

into
flowmaster 50series muffler 2.5"in/dual 2.25"out in stock location

with
magnaflow tips



Any feedback on it would be good

Hi,
Is there an advantage to using the AR20 resonators instead of the 2" magnaflow precats? The precats cost a little less than the Aeros, and would be legal even by the strictest interpetation of law.

Instead of to AR20 resonators just use one. Both exhaust pipes straight into the high flow cat, then one resonator and the Flowmaster 50 or 80 at the end.

I think 80 series haves a deeper pitch than 50 series.

The AR20s are 2" in/out. You will need the AR25 resonator (2.5") between the 2.5" outlet from the rear of the cat and the muffler.
