Re: Quietest exhaust... (gcrouse)

I think I'll go Power Effects.. I like the idea that I can change it from "Silent but deadly" to "Loud n Proud"

They are a ways off in budget tho :eek:

BTW, those rims of Gcrouse's are SPECTACULAR, where did you get them, and how much?

Kale- The black ones are from John (aka racewheel) at CCW; very light/strong 3pc racing wheel. Street versions were $425ea for 17/18 any width; I did 17x11.5 and 17x12.5. I had him black anodize the center sections for $25ea; grand total of $1800 for the set.

Just in case you meant the silver ones, they're Centerline Billet Star #74. 2pc wheel with forged billet centers; also strong and light in 17x9.5, 17x11. I paid $1200 for the set; coincidentally they're for sale at $475.

Re: Quietest exhaust... (Kale)

I tried a B&B on my '86. Loved the performance, but hated the resonance. I found out from my Corvette "little black book" that in 1991 different mufflers were used which were less restrictive. I went to the wrecking yard and sure enough, '91 mufflers are larger than '84-'90. All cat-backs on '86 through '91 are interchangeable, so I bought it and put it on. It doesn't have the performance of the B&B, but I like the stock sound. Sold the new B&B cheap. Hope others learn from my experience.

Re: Quietest exhaust... (Kale)

On my SS454 Truck, I replaced my 2 chamber flowmaster with a spintech.

I had a set of Doug Thorely Headers that went into a single 3" pipe, Catco Converter then into a 3" in and a 3" out spintech muffler.

World of difference. Very little resonance, aggressive sound. However, I am not sure how it would sound in a vette.

Check it out:

Good luck,
