Lightning Exhaust

[Wiked L]

Lightning peps,

We don't have a lot of Lightning tech so..

I was curious to know what exhaust set ups the lightning guys have. And your opinions/concerns/comments on what you have.
:feedback:
I can only afford a cat-back system right now but, so far JDM is my favorite. Still looking around/researching though.

Thanks

Dynatech longtubes with high flow cats and JDM silver bullet catback... Loud as heck but that is what I wanted :biggthump

 

[Wiked L]

Loud is good :biggthump

Will it be pretty loud with just the JDM silver bullet catback? I'm having a hard time finding sound clips of just the JDM silver bullet catback. I really hate stock exhaust.

drop Steve a PM, he had a pretty nice setup on his 1999 L :biggthump
and he has just put and exhaust on the 2004 L I think he called the 99's a Maggy? Not quite sure

long tubes from LFP no cats and bassani catback loud as hell and love every second of it can create some clearance issues if you wanna go with 58" Tbars in the future


maggy is magnaflow

I had JBA shorties and stock midpipes (massachusetts sucks for emissions) and magnaflow catback. on my 99.

The sonic blue has a JDM silver bullet, you were at the dyno day when it had it on you silly goose didnt you listen to it?

magnaflow sounds good but is quieter than the silver bullet.

my advice if you like loud and deep:
Have a shop cut your rear cats out and weld in striahgt pipe. then go with silver bullet or magnaflow catback.

Maggy vs stock on my 99:

I have a Flowmaster I like it is not really loud, just enough to scare some ricers it's been on the truck for almost 3 years and I just look under there and still looks pretty good, and I love the tips that come with it, they fill the side oppening very nice and I like the fact that I can take them off to clean and polish.

I have the Bassani Cat-Back on mine and I like the sound. Nice rummble at idle and loud as hell when you get on it. I am very happy with it. If you want something soon, LFP is having a sale on Bassani and Magnaflow Cat-Back systems for $399.

damn if you only have the money for a cat back dont bother with the cat back get the cats gone first with a mid pipe section thats what i was told

Thats the same thing I was told when I had mine. The factory cat-back flows good and you will see little or no power gains by swapping it out on a stock setup.

Then again the factory cat-back sounds rather boring and the sound improvement of an aftermarket exhaust is worth the cost...

I just installed a used Bassani last week. It sounds so good!

4 cats, 2 turnouts, No Mufflers, ONE Camshaft. Probably Doesn't help you much...

Old Skool.
