i dont want a ricey sounding car... allthou i know it wont rumble like my 400( bored and camed :thumbsup: ) lol i dunn want a Fart-can on there either...
any imput would be appreceated.
thanks in advance

The Ecotec Exhausts thread discusses the Dynomax muffler. I've heard this on a 2.2 before and it sounded something like your looking for (don't know about the performance improvements though)

i dont really care about the performance, i am well aware i will gain nothing... i just dont like anything i'm driving to sound like arse... lol
but the dynomax muffler is a little different from a flowie...

Hey Rob, did you ever put Chads Exhaust on your alero?

Still waiting, kinda hoping something else pulls through :thumbsup:

question do u have a 5spd or auto trans on your alero???
right now on my 5spd i got an universal arospeed dual muffler cat-back under the suspension set up wit rksport header that has a rumble to it i dont know how it will sound on an auto trans but i like the way it sounds its pretty loud just the way i have and it does sound ricey at all here are some pictures of what i got

i also have 2 1/2" piping on it

heres a pic of the header i got on

i have a 5spd... allmost wish that i had the auto... :rolleyes: lol had to have it rebuilt at 1500k issed: oh well.. got to love the 100,000k warrenty with no deductable lol :thumbsup:
I think what im going to do is a cat back Kustom with a 40 series flowie, and 2.5 inch pipeing... got a guy here localy that will bend it for me el-cheepo..
I was wondering if anyone else has tryed somethin like this...i Deffinatly dont want something ricey...
Like i think i said b4 i know its not gunna sound like my 400... but i dunn want it to sound like my exhaust is in a can of watter....lol

Once you get your exhaust completed, you gots to post some pics of it :thumbsup:

[BLK03GXS]

:thumbsup: ohh no worries there lol

[BLK03GXS]

ohhh BTW, geedog66 im thinin about that headder that you got, what did it set you back?

the headers set me back like 400 dollars but to me the headers made the biggest difference in my ride its well worth the 400 i paid for it the headers are made by rksport

[BLK03GXS]

Awsome.. arent there a coupple other companys making eco headders? or am i out in left feild...lol

what's the best company for headers and exhaust for the 2.2?

[BLK03GXS]

I dont know who does make prefab stuff for the eco alero... i know for the cavys n shuch (Jbodys) their are a few, you would be best off IMO to find a reputable exhause shop in your area and buy the parts you want... Ie headder, muffler and tip if neciccarry, and get the shop 2 fab you something.

Oh and btw i have my Exhaust done now... for the short term, basicly just hacked off the stock muff and mounted a 40 series flowmaster... sounds good.. but im not gunna post any pics untill i get a tip h34r: cus yea... lol. Because the muff is long and 2.50 hard to find a short length tip in that ID..anyways its just got a piece of 2.25pipe in there fer now.. sounds good now :thumbsup: verry happy with the sound.. and when i get tax's back it will get a full 2.25+cat deleate...

I'm not sure which is the best either, I haven't seen any dyno results but I could look for some.

I know rsmracing and rksport headers will fit the alero, I'm not sure about pacesetter but I think so.
