What kind of exhaust this time?

[johny_boy32]

I need an exhaust that will give me some more hp, looks good, and doesnt sound like a beat up old chevy. This is my christmas present to myself so help me out. I wanna buy a good product but I dont wanna spend a whole lot and I don't want it to be loud and annoying...maybe quiet with a higher pitch noise than a lower pitch noise...i dont know...someone help me out.

[johny_boy32]

one more thing....being quiet while ideling and a nice sound at high rpms would be a plus.

[aleropimp1]

i got a flowamter 60 series. it sounds nice not to loud some hp increase and its cheap. i am happy with mine

Check out this thread: http://invision.aleromod.com/index.php?showtopic=285

One recommendation is the SLP exhaust, it does sound low but still raspy. This still might be too low and loud for you though. If so, then the flowmaster (as aleropimp1 recommended) should be a good fit.

You could always check out google search for "flowmaster sound clips" (http://www.google.ca/search?q=flowmaster+sound+clips&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&meta=) and listen to the exhausts that way. :thumbsup:

I've never heard the SLP on a 4 cylinder, but on the 6, it doesn't sound raspy... it seriously sounds low and muscular... espcially once its broken in. I have heard the borla on the 4 cylinder, and it doesn't sound that great. It has the popping/backfiring sound and it is not loud enough.

Flowmaster would probably be too loud for you...

I would try out Dynamax or something like that.

[havik]

Figured the SLP was too much, I thought flowmaster would be a better fit. I have the dynomax at home, got it from a friend and it sounded good on his 2.2 (shouldn't be much different sound than the 2.4). I think I'm going a different route with the exhaust so I'll sell it to ya if you like :)

nick i have the slp on my 2.4L u heard it at gap.

but yea the slp on our cars is raspy for a nice sound id say go borla

[johny_boy32]

hey aleropimp...where did you get the flowmaster and how much was it.

[aleropimp1]

i got it at summit raceing its like an hour away from my house so i picked one up for like 90 bucks. Then i got a tip for like 12 bucks so in total around 100 bucks. it has a nice sound a low kinda melow sound its not load when the cars at rest and it sounds good when ya floor it

[Oldsman]

SLP is raspy
Borla sounds good but a little quiet
Flowmaster and Dynomax sound very close to the same. which is not raspy, louder than Borla and has some what of a deep sound.

[johny_boy32]

I'm gonna check into the flowmaster then...i'm going more for the quiet idiling sound and tough sound when floored...thanks for all who had an imput. I'll tell you later what i decided.

[johny_boy32]

Alright...this might be the same as you have aleropimp...then all i have to do is get a good looking tip and good enough for now right?...sorry new with all this exhaust stuff....?

[aleropimp1]

ya thats the one i got its sounds just like those sample sounds they give you at the website. PS its a little stuff putting it on make sure you have some one thats really good with exhuast. o ya i got the 2" inlet out let and my exhuast pipe shoved rite into the muff for i nice fit

[johny_boy32]

thanks alero...those sounds clips gave me a better idea of what i was looking for....now i just gotta find a nice tip....have you put yours on already?

[aleropimp1]

ya i got a poopy 12 dollar tip from the speed people store it stainless and does the trick i would rather have the flowmaster tip

[johny_boy32]

got any pics?

[aleropimp1]

:eek: pics :thumbsup: do i ever

[mfuller]

I know I'm gonna catch hell for this, but have any of you 4-cylinder owners ever considered an exhaust that was designed for a 4-cylinder? Mugen makes some of the sweetest sounding silencers I've ever heard......yes, they're made for Hondas, but I've never heard any 4-banger sound so ballsy.

[johny_boy32]

first of all....lets see some pics...and second of all...Mugens huh...i will check into that but i still want quiet at idiling and ballsy when floored....?

[aleropimp1]

:pimp: alero pimp

i will get picks, i just need time to wash my car first. o ya and the flow master says for small 6v' or 4 cy and we gots big 4'




chain letter crap edited out.

[johny_boy32]

alright....sounds good man...and yeah it does say v-6 or 4 cylinder.

[Silentalero]

matt......did i hear you say mugen? lol

maybe for a muffler it wouldnt be a bad idea, but there arent many full exhausts for us that sound good to be honest. No matter what we are gonna be a little raspy

[mfuller]

Pic for ya'll.....only problem is that it's hideously expensive.

there must have been something wrong with the exhaust I've had mine for almost 1.5 yrs and never had and problems with popping/backfiring. Springs said the borla sounded BETTER on the 2.4 than the 3.4 :P

my borla is quite at idle but gets quite loud at WOT, esp above about 3K, but then I have a few other things :ph34r:

The exhaust is more than just a muffler or silencers/resonators. The sound comes from a variety of factors like those but the ID of the various components, the flow rate of the gases, even the size of the tail pipe can play a factor. So just b/c a muffler was designed for a different disp. engine it may sound good on a different size engine (see posts above :D ) (i'll have to compare the sound between my 2.4L 4 banger and my inline 2.8L and see which sounds better :wacko: )

Also the difference between main difference btwn hondas and aleros is engine size which can be compensated for by a variety of things but your comparing a 1.6/1.8L engine to a 2.4? guess which flows more gases? Unless a FULL exhaust is designed for a GM 2.4L application you could have just as good, if not better, luck mixing and matching parts, for less $$ :thumbsup:

[Final-Reality]

A VTEC 1.8L Honda with high-lift cams at 7800rpms is probably flowing more air than the 2.4L

There are dozens of things that affect the sound of an engine including displacement, # of cylinders, # of valves (4-valve DOHC V6s sound good, but, IMO, most 2-valve OHV V6s sound poopty, a stock GM 3.8L being the worst ever.), size of exhaust manifold/piping & muffler, and size/type of intake manifold

But that's not the point...

If you want the best-flowing exhaust and it's naturally aspirated, get 2.5" piping and the longest free-flowing perforated-style muffler you can get to help kill the sound..

[aleropimp1]

its not sagging theres just no room to move it up any higher thats as high as it will go theres a bunch of braces above it for the bumper so thats about as good as it will fit :unsure:

[Redog]

Get the Borla exhaust now before they stop selling it. I also heard it's better on the 2.4 than the 3.4 I have the 3.4
:D I have some crappy Ractive fiberglass pack muffler right now, but I going with a flowmaster 40 soon (I have it right now). My exhaust is all custom. I have a Random Tech. cat. and Ractive chrome tips. I also had the bumper cut out for a secnod set of tips at a body shop. It's pretty cool because it looks stock. I've even had the dealer (which you know they hate mods) say it looked good :lol:

An intake will also help with the sound.

[johny_boy32]

i already have an intake and that did make a sound difference but I'm gonna wait till after christmas for the exhaust...decided on the flowmaster 60 series with ractive tips. I might go dual so then i dont know what i'm gonna do.

[aleropimp1]

go with your gut, differnt is better we need a variety of aleros rember custome is cool :pimp:

[johny_boy32]

yep
