I have SLP Loud mouth type 1 exhaust with resonators. It sounds awesome plus it was cheap. I bought both mufflers for $160 from www.slponline.com and then had my local muffler shop install them with custom tips for $200

The straight pipes I've heard sounded terrible - tons of popping, backrapping, etc. Chrysler tried this on a Viper several years ago to see what the V-10 would sound like, & the engine ran about 30^ hotter & made about 25 HP less, plus it didn't sound any good in their opinion. Then they installed some Super Turbos (expansion chamber & a little backpressure) & things returned to normal. You need to run some sort of mufflers on a "street" car exhaust.

Made a new exhaust for my -96! Same old melrose long tubes, new 3" cats (old ones went bad), home made straight thru muffler in place of the stock resonator (can't find one that that fits here in finland, I make mine by my self to get perfect fitment), after the muffler there is stock H-pipe and straight 2,75" duals to stock lt-style tips.
No drone, quiet to inside and outside sounds quite good I think.

If the Power Effects power capsule mufflers were to become available would anyone be interested in buying them. I hear they are great on corvettes and are in demand. Just seeing what the market is. Any replies will be appreciated.
Thanks

I figured its appropriate to share in this thread a combo that I really really loved on my 93 when it was bolt ons.
Long tubes, no cats ,stock cat back LT1 exhaust. No drone, no resonance. at WOT it absolutely roars and screams.
I just cut my B&B wide open and removed all the baffling lol.

I am REALLY looking hard for a decent price for a Borla system right now and ran across the SLP. It doesn't look too bad, but I REALLY want a Borla. The only problem is I will absolutely not spent more than $800-900 on one.
Does anyone have know where a deal like this might exist?

Nice thread, when I bought my 92 coupe it had Flowmaster mufflers. These sounded great from outside the car, but the resonance about killed me on anything longer than a 30 minute drive.
I went to CORSA after reading the threads on CF. Never been Happier.
To me it's the best system for a C4.

Got my exhaust put on, and broken in. The popping only happens when I start it up, for whatever reason it goes away after a few minutes.
