Either a Flowmaster or Hooker cat back......a set of headers would do the trick...and an exhaust cutout (electronic would be nice)...now...that would be loud .....I'm just missing the headers...but..I'm trying on working to save some cash to get a set.

bigals87z28

most powerful sounding exhaust... go to a NHRA super nats, sit down and watch the dragsters... that is the most powerful sounding exhaust... jets cant beat that noise... for 4sec... you will sh*t urslef

ElectronBlue82

Hooker Long Tubes, 3" Pipe all the way back, 12" Borla XR-1 (3 1/2" in/out) with a 4" cummins tip out the back. I promise you will get the sound your looking for. Two of my friends have that exhaust on there third gens and I nut myself everytime I hear there cars.

Mark A Shields

I'd say Hooker or Flowmaster, for a near stock motor, I'd say you might like Flowmaster better, but there's a sound clip of the Hooker in my sig.

bigals87z28

oh come on mark... say it!! if u dont i will.. .i think hooker sounds a lot deeper then flowmaster. and you cant beat the quad tips... that looks mean... i might but a slight angle cut on my tips, but for right now, i wana put it on!!! Hooker aero with some nice headers with a solid head and cam... that would make a 2.8 sound mean..

edelbrock headers with a random tech cat and a flowmaster american thunder system with dual 3" outlets shakes the ground. same setup without a cat is even louder. have a cat, buddy has no cat, both sound wicked together.

curt86iroc

does flowmaster make the american thunder cat back for dual cat cars with a 3'' intermediate pipe? i can only find it with a 2 1/2'' intermediate for dual cat cars...

no the only system they make for the dual cat cars is the force II, and ive heard from a few different people that the muffler on that system doesnt sound very good

No b/s. If you want a loud *** exhaust, bye the MAC system. This system is loud as hell! Just ask my wife, she hates riding in the car because she says it is too loud.

MAC exhaust

The whole system bolts together with flanges. No leaking gaskets, no pipes rusting together. I love it, only regret, I was a cheap SOB and didn't spend the extra $100 for the chrome tips.

raptere

Yes they do make a 3" American thunder for us dual cat guys i am getting one in about two weeks. One thing i say was the summit racing web sight says it is a 2.5 system but i called flowmaster and checked the intermediat pipe is 3 and there are dual 2.5 exits on the muffler with dual angle cut stanless 3 in. tips. Of what ive heard it sounds pretty mean and with a good set of headers possibly slp (made fou us with the dual cat) would make it even louder.

Hope this helped

Dumps!

Where we meet up at the races, Fuddruckers, there is this Chevelle 454 SS, completely worked, that burns alcohol. He's got a dump system run, and you can FEEL him comming from about a 1/2 mile away.

89IRO

If you want something REAL loud, SPINTECH! Especially one of their race mufflers. A cam and headers would also probably help. You couldn't get any louder than an exhaust cut-out though!! (Before Cat.) -89IRO

nolanr0413

get a big cubic inch engine. my dad has a 77 trans am with a 455 and flowmaster 40 series mufflers with dual exhaust . It is really loud with the mufflers.Plus he has high compression 12.3 to 1

FlamedROC

Do u have to run a special header or do the bolt right up to any aftermarket header????

Formula305FI

Yea MAC is loud as all hell. I had it shouldnt of sold it but I needed the $$$... Im saving up to get another MAC catback the thing sounds sooo nice, it has like a borla/hooker sound combined its really nice and above 3500 OMG is it loud.... Cant wait to get $$$ to put mac back on :-D

jfreeman74

If you don't care about performance and only care about sound, the flowmaster would work.

25THRSS

I say have the best of both worlds. Buy the flowmaster american thunder catback and get a cutout. You can't beat the sound of flowmaster or the performance of a cutout.

89IRO

You can't beat the sound of flowmaster or the performance of a cutout.

Oh really? (IMO)

Jono

I have hooker and I don't believe it will be the loudest that you can get. In terms of sound quality, it can't be beat, the sound is sooo beautiful hehe it is loud but not the loudest.

IROCZTWENTYGR8

The Flowmaster all 3" system IMO also. And the cutout too.

I will say though that my friend has a 92 Z28 350 TPI with Borla single out with the dual tips they make and it sounds really good and its pretty loud. But single outlet exhaust with dual tips or not, is not for me.

25THRSS

I have the borla exahaust with no plate on my LS1. It is actually pretty quiet at idle, but holy crap, once you get on it you can hear that thing from over half a mile away, no joke. Still in my opinion flowmaster might not have the best performance, but it sounds the best. If you want a nice sound, but are concerned with peak performance just get flowmaster with a cutout.

IROCZTWENTYGR8

iTrader: (1)

Yup, Flowmaster has the best "I mean business" sound, but there are others that sound pretty good too. And cut-outs are always good and fun.

89IRO

I whish I could do a cut-out but I live in damn California. Won't ever pass smog. I might be able to get away with it if I installed it after the cat., but then I just couldn't say "I have straight headers at the push of a button."

To me, flowmaster is like an ***-hole, everbody's got one. Plus, to me, they don't sound good, just a crappy drone, and when they get on the gas, it sounds to me like there is a marble stuck in the muffler. And yes, I've heard that flowmaster doesn't flow for ****. It's funny how all the big trucks at my school have a flowmaster (rich kids think it gives them 75 HP) and they all sound the exact same. Anyways, I have a spintech, and love it. For my next project, my '67 Chevelle, I will probably either put on spintech racing mufflers or a couple of those dynomax bullet mufflers- I hear those are pretty loud. Please don't be too harsh on me cause I'm putting down flow. Just my opinion. -89IRO

:lala:

joshp14

I couldnt agree more...everyone and their brother has a flowmaster, and i agree that they do sound good, but IMO they dont perform worth a sh*t. I have been looking at real exhaust systems, ones that have a straight thru design muffler and all stainless steel, i.e. banks and magnaflow.

BORLAZ06

i had blomaster....they sucked. all noise and no go!!!!

i needed more power so i got borla for my car...At Idle

snflupigus

i have no cat or muffler on my car. good old 305 is still pretty quite. LOL!

back to spintech or mac. how low do they sound. I dont worry too much about loud. i want LOW sound.

i wont be able to run no cat no muffler when the 355 goes in

89IRO

I don't know about MAC, but I do have the crossflow (343SC) Spintech muffler. I love it! At idle, it is low and deep, but still noticeable. But once I hit 1500 rpm, it starts to get pretty loud. And then once you get to 3500-4000 it's very loud. If you are looking for something with a uniqe and different sound, get a spintech. They usually cost a little more than a flow, but you pay for the better quality. Evil has a sound clip so do a search. -89IRO

thats a video of my motor idling with:

Hedman Shorty headers
Hedman Y-pipe
Flowmaster American thunder cat-back

Keep in mind these parts are old, the flowmaster sounds TOTALLY different now than it did 3 years ago. it also changed tone a Lot when i changed the cam back from wild to mild.

My90Iroc

Does Spintech make a catback for our cars, I only saw mufflers for our cars and catbacks for 4th gens?

Doesn anyone have sound clips of the MAC exhaust?

BillZ28

Actually, I read in this one issue of my friends Fast Fords and Mustang (or whatever the magazine is called) that they've used Flowmasters on engines producing up to 400 hp and they've never cost them horsepower. I've heard other people on here say otherwise, but I read this in text.

bigals87z28

#1 mustangs blow goat ***
#2 why are you comparing the mustangs true dual system to ours
#3 mustangs blow goat ***
#4 Ford usual lies about everthing... as you can tell by the people who drive mustangs..." this flowmaster exhaust gives me an extra 130hp over my stock gt!... its the best yo.. i can beat a Z06 now!" stupid f*cking mustang owners...

flowmaster blows just as much as ford does...wait, i take that back... flowmaster doesnt have a new recall for me ever other month

BORLAZ06

lol.

rockfourone

just putting a K&N sticker on a GT will make it beat a Z06, come on everyone knows that

but a flowmaster on a GT???!!!! now that will rape ferraris!!!!!

StreetRCR

I have NEVER heard an exhaust that sound anything like what mine does. I will admit I do have some motor puttin out the sound but My combo is bad ***-----Think ferrari on steroids.

Headman Long tube to 3 inch duals y'ed into a 4 inch pipe over the axle into a 4 inch Flowmaster Race delta flow and out a 4 inch tail pipe. It has no backpressure and makes my motor sounds like it's turning 14,000 rpms. It is a little loud but I have driven right in front of a cop and nothing happened. Here is a pic frome the back of my car.

C-Dawg

with the 2.8 i used to have I just put bigger piping without a muffler...that was loud and mean sounding, of course the car did need some back pressure so I added a resinator to quiet it down...still sounded mean tho

TRAX, is that your car?! If it is that sounds really good!! And thats the Flowmaster system thats supposed to have a low sound. I wish you would have revved or something.

TRAXION

Thanks man. I'll get a new video soon with some revving It's amazing how good it sounds. There's even a mustang guy at work and he's pretty impressed with it too ... and, obviously, he is use to the sound of duals.

I thought on our cars, if you ran long tube headers, you would have really bad ground clearance??? Isn't that why they make "shorty" style headers? -89IRO

i was actually looking at getting borla for my car after i do my engine swap (from stock 305 to L98 350) and i have a question for you guys that have borla, i visited borla's website, and i didn't see many selections for thirdgen, and i am wanting to get true dual for it...any suggestions on the borla system i would have to go with?

IROCZTWENTYGR8

Dual or not M*stangs sound like **** anyway. There is a 1st Gen Z28 right around the block from me that suppossedly runs mid 11's and it has dual 3" exhaust with step headers and Flowmaster 40's. Probably 1 of the best sounding cars I've ever heard, but I don't know what engine is in it since he won't tell any1, but it is loud. Your car actually sounds something like it.

25THRSS

Ive actually never heard a bad sounding mustang. Too bad they can't back up the sound, lol.

BillZ28

I should've guessed you had a Hooker catback system...

'87FAKE-IROC-Z

Well looks like I'm the sole Edelbrock cat back fan again.
I have not heard another street driven 3rd gen (in person) that IMO sounds meaner and more powerful than mine.
Its got decent low note at idle, it won't shake the ground too much, but rear exit exhausts usuall don't.
On the throttle it kills other exhausts I think. I have Flowmaster on my other car, and have friends with Hooker and Borla systems, they don't sound full enough or nearly as authorative to me.

curt86iroc

i have the edelbrock cat back on my 86 and it sounds sooo much better than the flowmaster on my 90......
