You should go magnaflow or borla. Jason got good gains by switching. Magnaflow is what I'm going to do. If you want to try let me know.

TCAT · 10-21-2011, 12:25 PM

Thanks, I'll definitely let you know. I am thinking likely Borla ATAK but not sure yet. Jason had some good gains as well, but I don't know if the gains were with or without his long-tubes, ad not sure if he has high flow cats or not. Jason, can you chime in on that man?

Bluffen · 10-21-2011, 12:37 PM

I used Flowmaster S10's the sound is awesome I also used magnaflow 4600 series cats.

bought these wires from 2edgeperformance due to the heat the headers put out, I installed pacesetter Long tubes ceramic coated

TCAT · 10-21-2011, 12:39 PM

Yeah, your system has to sound mean with hi flow cats and longtubes!

TCAT · 10-21-2011, 01:20 PM

Damn, looks like I can't get the Borla ATAK mufflers welded in because they simply don't sell it like that. I would have to buy their whole axel-back. They sound great, but trust me, the itty bitty hp gains for that much money is too much for me. I can spend that much money in much better places like a FAST intake or something.

I need to find some muffler manufacturers that sell their mufflers just to be welded in place of the ones I have now. I alrwady have a catback and I won't spend all that money again to JUST use the mufflers.

ChvyBoss · 10-21-2011, 01:27 PM

ALOT has to do with the turbo quieting almost every exhaust no matter what brand.

Yes Tommy I do have the Atak and it sounded BadAss before the turbo but now it's super quiet. For us Tommy I think our best bet is just taking off the mufflers and buying that extra pipe piece from JBA that mike was talking to me about for the turbo. Those are pretty much our only options.

TCAT · 10-21-2011, 01:32 PM

Yeah, that's true. My car still definitely sounds like it has aftermarket mufflers on it, but you can tell that thing quieted down a bit. Taking off the mufflers may be the thing to do.

Hahaha. The great thing is I turn off my music ALL the time now just to hear is spool uop and dump that pressure when I shift. Ungodly fun, and it's now my new favorite song.

Muffler delete ftw

TCAT · 10-21-2011, 01:46 PM

I would just HOPE that I don't hear LOTS of raspy sounds if I did the muffler delete. I'm not sure if the turbo will calm this down or not. I hate the muffler delete sound unfortunately. The deep sound is always what I favor. I like the Flowmaster and ATAK sound so far, and that's been it. WHat a bummer. I'll try looking at other muffler's like Mag. but we'll see, as muffler delete may be a good option. I would love to get on a dyno and do a run with my FLowmasters, then take them off and get on the dyno for another run to see what the difference between no mufflers and my mufflers make.

bajamoon · 10-21-2011, 01:52 PM

You should set something up with Mike and test out a few options. On my old Audi I had a borla race muffler that sounded awesome. Basically like the magnaflow. Just don't know how anything will sound with the turbo. Here's my delete

TCAT · 10-21-2011, 02:06 PM

Yeah, at least that can narrow down my options.

ALso, how much are you selling your Doug Th. delete for?
