muffler eliminators
I'm considering muffler eliminators for my car. Currently the pre-cats are gone and the main cat has been replaced with a high flow unit. I am planning to add a new rear Y with crossover with the new eliminators. This will complete a totally new exhaust system on my car. I have read that some others have lost low-end power with eliminators. Is this really true? My car is an L98. Anyone with muffler eliminator experience? :rolleyes:

Re: muffler eliminators (Siveck)
You will not lose any low end torque with that exhaust system. Most, if not all, people gain hp and torque even dow low from such mods. I did (dyno charts back it up). Be careful though. You may get some resonance at lower rpms but I dont think anything in the world is as bad as the flowmasters I had before my muffler elims. Those things would deafen you.

Re: muffler eliminators (bogus)
I lost a little on my '95 LT1 when I took the mufflers out, when I put Corsa's on, I got it back.

Re: muffler eliminators (85_togo)
no loss of low end here, gaing some un expected top end. Sounds awesome. I just installed a cat on my car and it quieted it quite a bit. Hopefully the headers in my garage with give me some rumble back.

Re: muffler eliminators (nsimmons)
You will have the exact same exhaust as me albeit on an L98. The sound kicks, you lose a couple of pounds, You can check my page for dyno and 1/4 results. Doesn't look like I lost anything.

Re: muffler eliminators (85_togo)
The cross -over tube I had welded onto my rear pipe cut the resonance down to between 1700 and 1800 rpms. To be honest I don't eeven notice the resonance at that range either now.

Re: muffler eliminators (Siveck)
Thanks for all the replies. I'll definitely be going with the eliminators and crossover. I plan on using the black rectangular tips. My left rear muffler is falling off and it needs replacing- with elims of course! :hat
