Firebird Trans Am exhaust sound

[Zodiac]

Whats the cheapest way to make a firebird sound mean, loud and nice at the same time.

I Heard electronic cutout valves were the best solution.

Any other options?

98+ LS1

straight pipes.

I said cheapest lol

[HypnoToad]

well unless u have headers...theres no reason for cutouts,plus there not that great anyways.

i was saying things that are legal,im sure u have emmission testing where u are.......unlike me,lol

Pacesetter LTs work? What about illegal alternatives?

x pipes,sneaking 2 pipes down the driveshaft, or h pipes.

will only xpipes work for what i want?

u need headers,xpipe and some mufflers...im sure it would sound fine with that(well it works for gen 1 engine)

but if ur wannting sound just get a catback system...that will sound good:goodjob:

[SixSquared]

Yeah you could straight pipe it... but then it will just sound like a straight piped LS1. If you really want it to sound genuinely mean, and have the bite to backup all that barking, then you have to put the work into it, and by work I mean cash lol.

Straight pipes sound like crapola and so does cut outs, the only reason for cut outs is if you are running at the track

I think this is the best bet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqjz_22SGVU&feature=channel

pacesetter LT's, Pacesetter Off Road Y pipe and Flowmaster 1 Chamber Muffler.

I priced it, its around 750.

or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kHqg8TQCbY&feature=channel

the second one is cheap but it also sounds cheaper. I'm so lost when it comes to getting the right exhaust for cheap

[Catnip]

true duals with turn downs.

The 1st one sounds pretty badass.

You can never really tell with videos on YouTube. Nearly all the videos sound like shit. I'm sure they sound different in person.

[Romeo]

And the 2nd video doesn't sound bad.

[03RCode]

LT's, O/R Y, Dynomax Bullet + Turndown for mean sound on the cheap.

[redrumracer]

put a borla exhaust on it. my friend had one and it sounded great. I loved it more than my flowmasters I had.

Dude I have flowmaster for this car I'll sell you for $20, how'bout that?

The tips are bent but you can just have your tips welded into it.

how much would i be spending?

[ranger250x]

ever thought about NASCAR style boom tubes?

[Zodiac]

What are those?

[thirdgenss]

long tubes, electric cutout followed by bullets and dump before axle ftw!

they sound nasty running open cutout on LTs but draws alot of mostly unwanted piggy attention. so i would still definately rock a somewhat legal exhaust....wait a second yall still have inspections in ga right? can you dump before the axle? i know its illegal in sc but without inspection theres no real enforcement of it
