no one knows ?

I think he had a Flowmaster.

BTW I've seen him drive, he beats the balls off his car, I'd be surprised if he still has it

i agree with redog. i think thats what it is or at least it sounds like that. I have a proflo and it sounds just like that.

Im sure he had a flowmaster and it sounds like he has taken the resonator off to

Whats that a flow 40 ?

Flowmaster 40 Series

Where is the cheapest place to buy dual flow 40's

check out ebay, its probably the best bet..... if not then maybe AAS has it.....

I agree that it sounds like flowmaster, I had delta 40s and then replaced them with super 40s on my Achivea (3100 V6)
Could his be an 80 series.. doesn't sound too loud, and even my delta 40s were loud. The super 40s were definatley loud.
Here, I've only had my Alero for a few hours and now I'm really wanting a custom exhaust done :lol:

Is his car a 2.4 or a V6?
And are you sure it is a 40 series? Cause that sound is sweet and I am looking rightnow to get my exhaust done.

:blink:

Orion: I have a custom build mandrel bent 2.5 inch exhaust. With a vortech muffler installed. With no resinator.

Cool is it a V6, and what is the model on the VORTECH muffler

haha sorry guys i didn't see this post at all. Let me catch you guys up. I got my work done at Meinicke. I got mandral bent 2.5 inch piping back from the cat. from there it comes back to a vortech exhaust. (I don't know the exact model, but it was used in older thunderbirds, i know that. It was Meinicke's idea. from there it splits to two exhaust outlets.) Its not true dual exhaust, due to it doesn't split right away off the headers. I had them remove the resinator, a month after i got it. Here is another sound click of my exhaust.

Any more questions?

REDDOG: what do you mean, you have seen me drive. lol. No you haven't lol. I still have the Alero too

Orion do you have a 2.4 or a V6 , and if you can find out the exact model of that exhaust that we be sweet man cause your car sounds mean and I am getting mine done :)

I have the 3400 SFI engine 3.4 Liter. I will stop by Mienkie tomorrow

they all sound similar. i mean its the same engine through and through so all exhaust systems will have a somewhat similar sound to them

Yes I have, remeber we where supposed to meet in front of Acme Doylestown? You pulled into the lot and took off like a bat out of hell, twice. I was in KFC watching

Wow I forgot it was you, lol. I didn't even realize that was you. Do you still have that intake?

Couple of questions before I start a custom exhaust....

1. Does anyone know if An alero 01 V6 has a 2 stage cat, because I was talking with a friend and he wasn't sure.....If not... what are those 2 things........is it just a heat shield......any one?

2. Orion. Nice exhaust, I was thinking about going with 2.5 diameter piping because of how they did a crappy job placing the exhaust (the pipe runs over the axle) and I don't think there would be any clearance with putting it underneath (although it would save my trouble with a pipe bender) You started from the beginning of the cat right?


3. Do you know the length or where you put pipe bends into the pipe?

4. I am probably going to install my own but did you do yours yourself? If not, where?

5. One more Question… about how much did you pay for parts, installation. Etc.

any pics of exhaust? Underneath car? Where it started? Did you go over the axle with piping?

any help is greatly appreciated…..

I got it done by Mineke in Doylestown,PA. They did piping straight back from the cat at 2.5. I don't know any measurments.I paid 450 for parts and labor.





I am not sure why my piping is so rusty. It is my daily driver, but still. Anyone know?

Thank you very much for the help........

but did you say they went straight back from the cat and not over the axle? because I thought there wouldn't be enough ground clearance. I could be wrong.......

This is a normal pic of the route of the exhaust



[attachmentid=10585]

I made a quicky of what they could do....... I don't know about the room though

If you had pics of how it was routed underneath from that muffler pic all up to the cat that would be sweet

thanks again

Its like the second picture. It hangs down some. Not good if ur going to lower it.

ok well i wasn't shure if you would run into clearnce issues but since I don't think ill be lowering it, awesome ........but yea there goes a lot of time saved with a pipe bender.....

by the way, before I start bending pipe, would you be able to get a pic .....kind of how I took mine from behind the left rear tire so I know where to go from the muffler and with actually how low your pipe is though to the cat?





hopefully with 2.5 diameter pipe and a flow 40, this will sound pretty sweet......

umm....... exposed metal rusts dude.

and running hte pipe under the rear rear suspension (there is not axel) really isnt a good idea cause you will run into rubbing issues wether the car is lowered or not. you can see on orions muffler on the back left corner where his muffler has rubbed concrete/road/whatever because it hangs so low.

but i dont know why everyone is always so curios as to how orion did his exhaust. his is about the same everyone else out there who had an exhaust put on there car.

in terms of what the muffler sounds like....... there isnt a HUGE difference between most of the mufflers ive heard...... flowmaster 80,40,dual 40's, magnaflow,slp, borla, they all are rather similar except obviously for fart cans.

if your lookin to put a muffler just ask the muffler shop what they carry and what you want it to sound like. its just a effin muffler it aint life or death

Thanks for the axle/suspension mix up on that post. I have not had any issues with rubbing with the car with the suspension.
