I am considering replacing my existing exhaust system soon. I currently have a stock setup with Magnaflows. (92 LT1 Auto coupe)
I am considering replacing the stock (original 100,000 miles) cats with high flow cats and following this with a chambered ss exhaust system such as the one sold by Sweet Thunder- http://www.sweet-thunder.com/index.html
I have 3 questions:
1- How much interior resonance can I expect?
2- Will the high flow cats affect my ability to pass WI emissions testing? (sniffer on the tailpipes)
3- Are the new cats going to be prone to throwing a code?
Is there something wrong with your factory cats? Unless they're clogged you won't gain much by replacing them. The factory LT1 exhaust is very efficient.
To my knowledge the original cats are still alright (100K miles on them tho), I just know that I do want to go with a chambered system and thought I would replace the original cats with high flow units to get better breathing as well as throatier sound- not to mention the aesthetic appeal of new ss cats...
I had this exhaust on my car(3") its sounds good. I dont recall much resonance,you may have to modify it slightly to use aftermarket cat depending on their length.I took mine off because I put longtube headers on and had an exhaust made up with an xpipe,I think I still have my old system behind my buddies garage, makes me think now,were it went
