I've been thinking about it and I don't know if I want go with a Cat-back with a Single Flowmaster Super 44 or Cat-Back with Dual Super 44s...does anyone know that if I go with the duals if it will be louder then just single and rather or not it will crackle horribly?

This. Our cars are able to compensate for the increased air flow that something as minor as a cold air intake adds. If you're running rich then it's got to be something else.

When Iinstalled it and as I was driving the Service vehicle light comes on (NOT the check engine light) the ABS light comes on and the Trac off comes on

Thats a wheel bearing.

That's the wheel bearing's speed sensor malfunctioning most likely. Although when I changed mine for the exact same problem, it was the wheel bearing sensor plug on the car not properly making a consistant connection with the plug on the wheel bearing. If I kept shaking the wire, the "low trac" light would turn on when my car was not moving lol.

Damn, you should have swapped on the 3500 heads + Lower intake manifold while the heads were off. There would have been noticeable difference in performance.

Ive done that one before!:lol: redogs super 44s sound good. I had a flowmaster 40 series on mine back in the day as well, perfect sound for it if you ask me.

2 Flowmaster Super 44's
Look up "Redog out of hiding" thread. It's old. There is a pic of how the mufflers are in place.
Plus I avg 35 MPG on the highway and I run a tad rich.
How do you know you are running rich? Do you have a WB A/F ratio gauge?

Everyone gave you an answer, yet no one bothered to ask if you had the 4 or the 6 cylinder. Redog has the 6, so keep that in mind. I'm not sure what year car or anything that you have but the Ecotec will be harder to get it to sound muscular unlike the 3400. This from a former Eco owner.

It's 3400 he started a problem thread either the day or day before for his car in the 3400 section and some of those commenting went from one to the next so they already knew from there, but I agree with the eco sound thing which is part of the reason I haven't done exhaust.

Also he mentioned cylinder heads as a plural. So that's what gave it away to me.

Yes its a 3400 and I know i'm running rich cause I used a code reader and its reading running rich or I just have a retarded ass MAS. Yes I have reset the computer by unhooking the battery and also driving 35 miles at 55 MPH

I rest my case then. Haven't been on here in a while and saw this... I didn't want the guy to slap on something on the Eco. I think the only thing that could sound good on an eco is a Flowmaster with 4-2-1 headers. The thing is I think only the ebay Tsudo ones are available for it.

Na if i had a Eco id probably go with a Thrush or maybe just maybe a N1

I know I'm running a little behind but that light can also be caused by the wheel hub assembly going bad, my mechanic said and I quote "This is a problem... You see it's a wonder if you hadn't ran off and left your front wheels..." It's a pretty bad thing also he ended up having to replace both sides because they were both very loose. Just throwing this in there in case someone runs a search for the warning lights...
