professional opinions needed
 

well i finally got my tsudo 4-2-1 header. so it's almost time to install that... but i'm looking at just doing the whole exhaust.

where i am... my choices are limited for places to buy mufflers... but here's the options

heres the one i'm leaning towards

or this one

and one other question

the header doesn't have a gasket for the 2-1 part... whats the best way to make a gasket?

i like the third one

Find a Dynomax Super Turbo.

i would go with dynomax super turbo those sound the best on the 2.4 and eco why cant you order one on ebay?


dam ion beat me to it

i suppose ebay... since it takes paypal. just cant order off sites that require a credit card... and i've also been thinking of dual exhaust... whats the easiest way? and i assume glasspacks would sound terrible

run a singal pipe back to the muffler then dual outlets from the muffler to the bumper with what ever tips you want on it

The Vortex mufflers I have heard were not real loud. I have a cousin that put one on his marquis. If he wouldnt have told me he had an aftermarket muffler, I wouldnt have even noticed. Another cousin has a vortex on his cammed 5.7 liter vortec chevy. It is not really that loud either. I wouldn't really recommend vortex mufflers.

well... i want loud... so no vortex

Also, the Ecotec will sound a little less rash than the 2.4 regardless of the exhaust you get.

This would be more to replace your original...

Magnaflow, any style, as big as you can fit, with a resonator after the cat.

the 2-1 piece is the bottom flange and it can be done at any exhaust shop, and get the dynomax ST muffler, its great on ecos, i can do a clip if ya wanna hear it

Colonel,
I agree with spilner, MAGNAFLOW ftw!
I can also do a sound clip if you want to hear. I have a magnaflow highflo-cat (#99204HM), magnaflow muffler(#10416) as a resonator (to ELIMINATE the rasp), and a magnaflow muffler (#14807) out the back. These are the product numbers for the equipment I have and you can get them from planetmagnaflow.com. I can vouch for them as they are a good company with excellent customer service.

Please do..im in between magnaflow and dynomax, mines getting done soon also.

i didn't feel like creating a new thread. but it's opinion times again.
heres my thoughts for a new setup.

from my tsudo header. have 2.5" pipe to a resonator (not sure on the length yet)

then to this muffler the magnaflow muffler one.

what i'm looking for is it to flow better than stock. alot better to support further mods

please feel free to comment

Do It!

just watch out for the leak that happens with the Tsudo Header.

no worries. there is a machine shop next door. might get the faces machined.

how long of a resonator.

and should i lose any performance or mpg by removing the cat?

loosing the cat will only make performance and milage go up you'll have the check engine light on until you are able to turn it off using HP Tuners.

EDIT: also read through this thread http://www.ecotecforum.com/forums/sh...t=Tsudo+Header it should give you a heads up with what can happen wth the Tsudo header and how to fix it.

Resonator as long as you can fit. I wish mine was bigger,I dont remember the length from top of my head.
