I been looking online for a new exhaust to on my SS and im stuck on what to do, I would like some ideas or input. Been thinking about the MBRP cat back sounds good online. if some one has it would like to hear what u think. or just long tubes with highflow cats with factory mufflers.
I want an exaust setup that is louder and is deep sounding and no drone,

I have Kooks LT's and highflows with axle back Flowmasters. I found flowmasters give the best throaty sound.

Long tubes are what youre looking for if you want a good tone. Flowmasters are very nice sounding but are more restrictive than a straight through muffler like a magnaflow

I went with headers and hi flow cats along with an axle back from DynoMax. I thought the rest of the factory 2.5 inch exhaust was adequate. Quiet on the streets and hiway but comes alive when you stomp on it. Also has a nice sound when idling.

thanks for all the input i had got a good deal on MBRP from races warehouse yesterday and they had 2 in stock so needless to say i ordered it and had it on car that night. must say sounds good and the quality of it is spot on, i might do long tubes next year just have too see about the o2 sensors and making it pass inspection lol

Tune will fix any inspection issue's.

I have long tubes, a Corsa cat-back and a tune and had no problem when I when for inspection earlier this year.

I did a SCT X3 e-mail tune from Jannetty Racing and have been very happy with it. Slowhawk in Mass is a great choice too.

If you want even louder and not do the header just yet. Get a set of SOLO High flow mid pipes. I had them on my Car before headers and made the sound deeper and louder!

2012-2SS · 12-17-2014, 08:16 AM

Long tubes and factory mufflers are the best combo. Great sound but not over the top and with no drone. Factory mufflers look restrictive but are actually more like a straight through resonator with a J-pipe. The biggest restriction in your system are the cats and manifolds.
