paulyb · 10-01-2007, 09:25 PM

what are the best options for me, im looking for somthing that sounds and preforms good................ow yea and i want duals as well.....

alerored04 · 10-01-2007, 09:51 PM

flowmaster 80 seems to be the consensus on duals.

doubleN0alero · 10-01-2007, 10:02 PM

flowmaster 80 is decent, however there is alot of drone or constant sound while you're driving. I had a magnaflow prior to the flowmaster and it sounded great off the start and when you hit the gas, but no drone...

^^ isnt the 40 deeper?

doubleN0alero · 10-01-2007, 10:14 PM

yes, but i think people witih the 40 run true duals...or at least dual mufflers...

i had a single 40 for over two years and loved it until one of the baffles broke and it started rattling when i took corners. now i have a magnaflow which only sounds good once the car is warmed up.

sounds like i have a few choices to make, now are there any dual muffel systmes or do the aleros have to be fully custom.

doubleN0alero · 10-01-2007, 10:48 PM

depends on how dual you wanna be...the camaro single in, dual out works just fine on the alero

paulyb · 10-01-2007, 10:52 PM

not to be a pest but do you have a link to this, so i know wich one will work the best, sorry im a newb to these things.....

i got dual super 40's (the big black ones) on my alero. there are video clips in my sign. i like 'em, sounds good over all...idle to WOT.

I have a magnaflow. Its quiet on the highway, but when you rev it, it sounds good.

Watched your videos, sounds really good. Is it 2.5 in and out, and what RPM did you get up to?

I've noticed the 80 gets a little bit ricey around 3500 RPMs I'm thinking about going to 2 Super 44's with 2.5 in and 2.25 out

it got to about 5600-5700 rpm. i noticed the same thing about the 80, thats why i went with the super 40's. i hate ricers..

after i got my exhaust done i was watching spike's powerblock and saw the ad for the super 44. i was like son of.. why now!? the 44 is thinner so it would tuck up under the bumper better, there for looking better. 2.25 out? why not just 2.5 out? an exhaust system only flows as much as your smallest opening...

Redog · 10-03-2007, 12:22 PM

^^ True that, but I don't want to lose any top end.

When I do go with the 44's they don't come in 2.5 in and 2.25 out, so I'll just have to go 2.5 in and out

goldenalero · 10-03-2007, 01:10 PM

what is a good exhaust if you want it to be mellow but when you get on it people know you mean business? it sounds like magnaflow is the way to go but which muffler is the best? keep in mind i hate rice burners

What do u mean when u say that? like losing power on the high rpm's or what? if yes, how can i know my muffler isnt making me lose power as well?

This is mine...

with a ractive tip...

The tip fits right into the bumper cut out. Its even with the bumper too.

Redog · 10-04-2007, 10:28 AM

^^ And I heard your car and it sounds ricey to me.

And Alon Alero, what I mean by that is, if your exhasut is tooo big, the car will sound good, but will lose power with all that free flowing it will have.

Right now I'm doing OK with 1 muffler that has 2.5 in and 2.5 dual out, but with 2 mufflers with 2.5 in and out I might sound good but lose power and slow down in the 1/4 mile.

That is why I chose chambered mufflers. Straight thrus allow tooo much exhaust gas to escape. Cars use backpressure to make horsepower. Straight thrus do not allow backpressure to build

That was my old one. This has only been on my car since July 07 and it is MUCH quieter and less drone-y then the garbage I had one it at ASS.

This is my old one and it looked like crap too

Straight thrus - strait shaped muffler?

I get a really nice sound with the Remus (which is straight shaped) muffler and i actually feel a bigger boost when i accelerate from standing... is it possible that i gain power from standing and losing some at higher rpm's?

And what do u mean by saying chambered mufflers?
