oh it's cool. I didn't think that you were.

alright, thanks guys... i would like to do this eventually, but i thought about it for a while and i don't think i can afford to spend money on that right now. thanks for your advise though! When you say upgrading the whole exhaust, do you mean a high flow cat and larger piping to the muffler? or do you mean headers and everything? When you buy this muffler new does it come with the larger piping?

-yes.
-headers and exhaust would get you the most gains.
-pacesetter sells a whole cat back so yes.

haha, ok thanks, yeah i've read that post before, sorry! But basically, if i were to buy the kit directly from pacesetter, all I would get in addition to the muffler would be the replacement exhaust piping. So this is a good deal, much less than the cost of the new kit, and if I buy the larger piping to replace my stock piping, it would be the same as buying the whole kit.

i love the sound of the flowmaster 80 all around and best minium backpressure craclke or sputter etc good loud but not overly loud rumble , BUT it's not offered in S/S. sucks or that is what i would take.

next the borla is S/S great but not quite as loud or as good of sound of the flowmaster 80 and not very loud at idiol and it's only 2.25 sucks. i guess if it was 2.5 i would go with that .
also some year MAYBE i will add headers . i do already have a magniflow S/S catalitic convert ( not installed ). no idea how much even this cat would change the sound ????



next pace setter not in S/S , again minium back pressure crackle / sputter, sounds too me to be a bit more import sounding. overall sound maybe between the flowmaster and borla . atleast to me.



i rule out slp and magnaflow because too much back pressure crackle/sputter as i continue to describe it.

don't think there is anything left to use for my gagt. i vow not to ever pay big dollars for a none S/S exhaust even though the none S/S would last along time on my car i would think before showing any rust.

[GrandAmGT-2008]

dude.... don't knock my pacesetter.. it's not import sounding.
It sounds great..
and what exactly was the point of your post?

[CUSTOMGAGT2000SEDAN]

sorry not intent to knock. just what thoughts i came to as to what i would want for sound . don't take what i said wrong. my post well your talking about exhaust RIGHT ???. i am talking about exhaust RIGHT.

exhaust talk is exhaust talk which ever way you look at it . and i was sort of reaching out to get as much helpfull feedback and maybe some other exhaust options i have not heard of yet???

because some mentions pretty gren lights does not mean i can not talk about pretty red lights . LOL after all it's about lights RIGHT.

[GrandAmGT-2008]

yeah, but this is not a thread about exhaust...
this is a thread about an exhaust muffler with tips that is for sale.

[CUSTOMGAGT2000SEDAN]

this was true from the start now that i re-look at things . but sure did not continue that way i see several suggestions , and people's thoughts all what would be better etc etc . that's why i added what i did.

[GrandAmGT-2008]

well, thank you for your contribution.

btw. still for sale!

what does S/S mean?

i find it a bit strange that with nearly all car makers installing S/S haust systems and many if not most customers wanting highly polished exhaust , that flowmaster has not offered there exhaust in S/S .


the painted and aluminium only look good so long before showing rust or atleast the welding areas. we all don't want just performance many want performance with the looks and log gevity.

[GrandAmGT-2008]

This is still for sale. offers?

[iApex]

If I had any money left I'd buy this, but I just bought an Alpine iDA-X100. If this is still for sale within a month n a half. Ill get in touch with you.

Good luck on the sale.

[GrandAmGT-2008]

sure thing!

[CUSTOMGAGT2000SEDAN]

the silver ga in your second clip says pace set cat etc with high flow cat.. meaning high flow catalitic convert ???? what type ???

what is a magniflow down pipe??.

trying to find what it sounds like with a magniflow catalitic convertor which i have sitting around presently and if i had stainless steel piping with the install.....down the road i would hope to add headers , but that won't count for the sound i need to find now.

[GrandAmGT-2008]

dude for real?
ummm the sound is nice..
has a high flow cat..
the downpipe part is bigger.. 2.5 i think.
i've seen one or two on ebay yesterday.
they are made by carsound.. or magnaflow.. same thing.

i got mine from rsautoparts.com
