Exhaust Sound

[Guitar_B]

Does anyone have the Exhaust System from Summit Racing....
PaceSetter Monza Cat-Back Performance Exhaust Systems


If so can you tell me if it sounds good? Because I want that Exhaust system... But i dont want it to sound the same as what I already have (Stock) Then agian I dont want that Civic Rice Burner sound either... haha...

I have a 2.2 Ecotec... Everything Is stock... (Except my Shift Knob and Windshield Wipers.... HAHA)

THANKS!!!!

IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE

I'll try to find the video someone put up of the Pacesetter cat-back on the 2.4L. It's worse than the worst Honda ricer. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRHWaCCnqXE

Have a custom setup made at your local muffler place. Put a Magnaflow straight through muffler after the cat, then piping to a Dynomax Super Turbo. It'll be a little more aggressive with a lot more flow but have absolutely no rasp, no rice. Here's what that sounds like, well, with boost: http://www.ion-productions.com/exhaust/exhaust1.wmv

[Redog]

Anything on an inline motor sounds ricey.

I've seen videos of Trailblazers and Envoys on Youtube and they have the 4.2 I-6 motor. Good motor, but muffler wise, sounds ricey, although at a higher RPM

[Frostbite545]

I have the pacesetter for the 3.4L and it sounds good, but please for the love of all that is good and holy do not put it on a 4 cylinder. It will sound like a lawnmower. I vote you take ion's advice.

[Guitar_B]

So from what I can understand... It is almost impossible to avoid the Ricer sound on a 4 Cycle..... unless I get it all Custom???

Any idea on price range?? :P

[[ion] C2]

No it's unless you get the right components. All exhaust systems are custom besides the one and only Pacesetter cat-back that you order.

Dynomax is like $50, Magnaflow is like $40. Plus cost of tubing plus install at the muffler shop.

[Guitar_B]

where can you find a Magnaflow for 40$.... Everywhere i look its 150$.... Then agian I live in an Igloo.. I mean Canada...

[[ion] C2]

or $58.62

Although you might want to check out their part numbers on their site and find which one you want. Different inlet/outlet size, different offset, what do you want? single out, dual out whatever

[Guitar_B]

So do i just look for a Magnaflow straight through muffler?? Im a noob when it comes to cars....

I would think there are Sizes... Like 2 1/2... But then agian... Im a Canadian Noob...

[Guitar_B]

Sorry.. I posted after you replied... haha

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELPFUL INFO... I wish I was rich so i could turn my car into one big mod... haha...

"Sir, what kind of Lexus is this...." "Um... its an alero...?" "Oh... Sorry Sir... Have a Nice day"

[jayson_waltz]

ion you seriously have the best sounding exhaust i've ever heard on a 4 cyl. plus the supercharger whine is just awesome

Are you more concerned with how the exhaust sounds or how it performs?

You have an Eco so it's not going to sound like Ion's car even with an identical setup.

ion you seriously have the best sounding exhaust i've ever heard on a 4 cyl. plus the supercharger whine is just awesome
You must not have heard many 4 cylinders with an aftermarket exhaust.

[[ion] C2]

my vid's crappy lol, it sounds a lot deeper in person

[Redog]

I know I always push the Flowmaster button here, but I heard a Flowmaster 40 on a Cavalier with a 2.4, OMG rice and very loud too :eek:

[meadus101]

LOLBOOST


Yea, I'd just tack on a Magnaflow on to the Stock Piping. Just me.

[Redog]

The Summit turbo Muffler is cheap and is a straight thru design also. Check that out and see if that's what you want

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

2 and 1/4 piping from the cat-back and topped off with a Magnaflow muffler my system came up to $475 cad, I'm currently trying to upload a video to my fquick, but the video won't do u justice.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

http://www.fquick.com/videos/viewvideo.php?id=7805 Yeah I know its been a while since I got the exhaust done.

Dude, your alero is NUTS. Congrats.

[darksobsession]

FLOWMASTER. mine is deep and throaty, sounds like a harley. well, maybe half a harley. ruuuuuuummmmbbbbllllleeee.

love that supercharger sound, i want it.

what do turbos sound like?

[NickAlero2000]

I need to take a sound clip of mine, its pretty good for a four cyl
I'll see about doing that later this week

[Spilner521]

and this is what a nicer supercharger sounds like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lQX3cOAbes

[Spilner521]

Nicer to you maybe

[Guitar_B]

Well... I guess the real question is... Will That exhuast system make a difference in Performance.. and will it sound decent.. I just dont want that cheap ass Cherry Bomb sound that 99% of the civics in the world have...

I want something deep... Not like a 454 Deep though... haha Just deep enough so that if your near my car you can feel it like bass... I LOVE THAT!!! haha.. My buddy has an RSX with a Magnaflow Dual Exhaust..... I wish I could make my car sound like his... But anyways... Just looking for something that will sound decent/good and help my Performance a bit at the same time... :)

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS!

OK here's an exhaust setup for you, using all 2.5" piping:

Header > Magnaflow high flow cat > Straight thru resonator > Large oval straight thru muffler

It'll be the best flowing exhaust you can get and it'll sound deep, but not overly loud.

C2;417175']i meant nicer than mine noob
Obviously I'm a noob

[[ion] C2]

clearly :lol: i call everyone noob

sausage fingers lol

[darksobsession]

wtf is sausage fingers in relation to a car?

my exgf had sausage toes.

[[ion] C2]

[KenshinZero]

yeah dude thats what i was afraid of on my 2.4, but i got a dynomax and it is probley one of the best exhaust systems i have ever heard

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

2.4 here....I got the dual muffler idea from ion...header-cat-muffler-muffler...sounds nice. still a bit loud, but pretty smooth, and kinda deep. no resonator. would probably sound even better when I get the setup welded. lol

my mufflers are a Magnaflow straight-though and a Borla ProXS Camaro-style muffler.

tip for in-store muffler purchase: one way to figure out whether a muffler will be smooth or raspy (before installing) is to look in it. the style of the muffling surface is the tell-tale. if it is piping with round holes punched in, it will be generally smoother. if it piping with flaps cut out (which also look restrictive to smooth flow) it would generally sound raspy.

[heineck]

my dynomax had holes... nice deep sound

[Alerosaint]

dynomax is deeeeep

[whiterider00]

as is borla...which noone else seems to have...on any engine...

[NickAlero2000]

as is borla...which noone else seems to have...on any engine...

Mines a Borla
which is why I need to take a sound clip, I'm trying to get my friends cam but idk how to use it
lol i dont have work tomorrow ill figure it out

[NickAlero2000]

OK OK OK!!!!!
MY CAMERA HAS SOUNDDDDDD!!!!
EXPECT Clips tomorrow!!!!

[darksobsession]

did i say it was relative to the car?

this is a thread about cars on a car forum.

[shez]

and i made a post about sausage fingers in a thread about cars. what's your point?

[darksobsession]

and i made a post about sausage fingers in a thread about cars. what's your point?

if the thread is 'exhaust sound' and you say 'sausage fingers' people will assume they're related, or at least ask about it, like i did.:eek:

[shez]

well you're just confusing people even more by arguing with me and leading this thread off of the right track.

[darksobsession]

sounds like you're in a bitchy mood and want to blame it on me.

back to the original topic - i have a pacesetter header, stock cat and piping, and a flowmaster. it sounds great, deep and throaty, nothing like rice.

Unbelievable as it may sound, I spent about 3 hours swapping and tacking all kinds of boomcans on the 2.2L, and the best we found, was one of those stupid glasspacks from Canadian Tire.

Its not sticking out of the end on the can, it's actually right up near the trunk box, and then extended about 2 inches, into a polished stainless SilverStar dual muffler tip.

There is no rice at all, it has a nice deep rumble at idle :D, I havn't come on to it yet, but that's comin' tonight . The whole thing, welded and installed took about 3 hr's, but he only billed me for about 45 mins labor. 200 bucks at a specialty shop.

have heard on a 2.4 S10, loud, low rumble, no rice there either, not sure about the eco, considering it if i can find a vid of one to make sure there is no rice

[AleroDrime]

could pple with the different set ups who havent put links to hteir sound clips on the thread already post their link with teh type and set up used on 2.2s, also im looking at a hearthrob, how do they sound on the 2.2s

also does it need to be the oval type muffler, or is a round one gonna make a big difference in sound/performance/look

im toying with the idea of one of these

lol no luck???

[Fenderxcore]

So does this Pacesetter exhaust work with all 3 aleros(2.2, 2.4, 3.4)?...Thats what I read on one site...Seemed kinda weird to me

Also does the V6 alero have the cutout for dual pipes on the rear bumper?...I've tried googling it but found nothing

[mfuller]

Yes, it will fit. But it will not sound good on any 4-cylinder car.



Also does the V6 alero have the cutout for dual pipes on the rear bumper?...I've tried googling it but found nothing
Nope. All Aleros come with a single bumper cutout on the driver's side.

[Fenderxcore]

Aight thanks for letting me know

[AleroDrime]

could you guys with aftermark exhaust on the ecotec post some vids and list what you have?

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I deleted mine from FQuick there is only one remaining clip of it on the net if you want to see it if you have't seen it already I could send you a link.

[AleroDrime]

please do
