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
http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows...25.jsp#reviews
or this one
http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows...Bx%2B9-in..jsp
the others
http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows...p#BVQAWidgetID
http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows...Bx%2B3-in..jsp
and one other question
the header doesn't have a gasket for the 2-1 part... whats the best way to make a gasket?

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.

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.

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.

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)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/High-Flow-Univers...item4839637f58
then to this muffler the magnaflow muffler one.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/12277-Magnaflow-M...item20af46352e
what i'm looking for is it to flow better than stock. alot better to support further mods
please feel free to comment

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.
