terminator exhaust get in here now!

[SLASH]

what would be the opinion of the best exhaust for the following requirements, cost not bieng a factor?

i am talking block to tailpipe.

1. power/performance, works well to enhance 700-1000rwhp

2. sound quality (i know everyone varies on this, but im looking for an average)

3. reliability, i have bassani now and i have replaced header gaskets 3x, it rattles, shakes and has a low tone. i have heard that the bassani exhaust rattles and there is nothing that can be done about it.


what are your opinions?

1. Long tubes all the way, X-pipe, CB, Boost will drop off a little bit, but a smaller pulley will fix this :clap:

2. I like my cars to sound good, but not too loud, I have Stainless workss stuff and it sounds great, the fit is the best around, The pipes are all stainless so it will last 20+ years, just really good products

3. Anytime I put headers on a car, I buy those Stage 10 header bolts, They have special flanges, so the bolts will never loosen. Different exhaust co. will have different, rattles and crap like that, but usually the high priced ehxaust tend not to do that.

Hope this helps

bassani was not cheap, and after 1000 miles it sounds like crap, i guess i was looking for brand name advice...thanks :headbang:

 

[The Pun]

I am gonna go with all MAC...

[VenomInside]

Stainless Works everything

1-3/4" Longtubes
3" X-pipe
3" Cat Back

Stainless Works everything

1-3/4" Longtubes
3" X-pipe
3" Cat Back

The best combo for making big power. :biggthump

 

[wizdawg]

I have tried a couple different midpipes, and heard a whole bunch more. I like the sound you get from an O/R Prochamber compaired to anything else.

 

[cyac5l8trfcar]

BBK's. i know, i know, you have to take 'em off to get the trans out but I had no problem putting 'em in. I'm getting rid of my flowmaster c.b. sounds like poopy with the l/t's and o/r x.


btw: they are stage 8's not stage 10 locking bolts. i forgot what i paid but speed inc has 'em in stock for a very good price.

 

[01Cobra]

I know I have an 01 but my bassani sounds awesome, and has a nice sound now that it is "broken in". Stock H right now.

 

[Cobra_DJ99]

1+ on the stainless works

other than that i like bassani headers, mac prochamber o/rh, with borla stingers. this makes for a wiked loud and great sounding exhaust

 

[Blood on Blood]

Kooks makes the best long tube headers
UPR no cat X pipe or an o/r H pipe
Magnaflow catback (great performance, least amount of drone)

 

[hj16]

Kooks makes the best long tube headers

Far from it. I have Kooks Longtubes and I hate them, poor fitting, expensive as hell, slip fit and their ceramic coating is horrible. Stainless Works is the best BY FAR.

mac is poor mans exhaust.....

 

[SVT SPEED 04]

mac is poor mans exhaust.....

yes..we sell mac and it is good stuff mid-pipe and catback wise. We refuse to use their 2v or 4v headers. We had nothing but leaks on 2 cars and removed both.

I like Stainless Work on everything they build.

great product

and very affordable.

Mike...what are you doing now ?

[SVT SPEED 04]

I am only guessing...

blower upgrade or Turbo..more power

Solid Axle...make use of the power

selling stereo...weight reduction to go faster

 

[Bigturbonotch]

If you are looking to go big turbo I have a polished garrett gt-47 turbo that I might be getting rid of....pm me if your interested, its badass!!

 

[cyac5l8trfcar]

if he was going turbo why would he be asking for exhaust help about headders?


if your selling the kb, and keeping the car, than i'll wager your going 2.6 or 2.8, possibly a built motor?

Everyone is all gung ho for Kooks. I've heard good and bad things about them.

I've only heard good things about the Stainless Works stuff. Kevin(RD SNAKE) has it on his car and I was under it on Monday and it is set up very user friendly. Well fitting and easy to put on take off. The only bad thing I've heard about Stainless is on the LS2 GTO's they hit the steering rack.

As for MAC being a poor man's exhaust how would you figure that? I don't think people choose exhaust for how much $$ it is, I think they make the sacrafice in cash for sound.

With ANY aftermarket part you put on your car, you're going to have fitment issues.

1. Long Tube Headers are the way to go for big power. 1 3/4 seems to be the way to go for big power set ups because you don't have to worry about boost dropping and blah blah blah. If you look at the new C6 Z06 they've got 1 7/8 Headers on it!

2. 2 each his own. Check out this thread, It might help you.
http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=316338
There are close to 70 different exhaust set ups in there

Raspy go with an O/R X pipe
Rumble go with an O/R H pipe

Catted mid pipes are not and option here IMO

3. Most exhaust set ups espcially with headers you're going to have problems. I don't think anyone can say they put a full exhaust on and never had to go back and tighten/make adjustments.

Good luck

I got the Mac 3" cat back - cause I love the way it sounds. You could go to mustangexhaust.com and check out how other systems sound.

well i have got mac longtubes on mine the new style ones. They fit amazing, and pretty easy install. Ive got the mac longtubes, bbk O/R Hpipe, and bassani cat-back. Im still not sure if i like it... But it is loud as fu*k if you like loud, and i dont really like that loud.
