Default Exhaust?

Well to be honest, my exhaust is raspy, noisy, and rattles like no other car i've ever been in. In order to fix this, I need to get new y-pipe and a cat back.

Back when I first got my car, I ordered a TSP Rumbler and well it didn't exactly fit too well. At this point I can't return it and I don't know if I should sell it or have an exhaust shop add on to it (muffler, extra pipes, etc)

Soo basically its this:

What y-pipe would you guys reccomend?
What shop would you reccomend getting it done at?
Should I sell exhaust and get a new one?

Thanks in advance

I have pacesetter LTs and ory, with a 3 to 2 1/2 inch I pipe to connect to the ory to the "stock" catback with a magnaflow out back in stock location. How much this hurts power at our level, if at all, but its tame at idle and sounds good at WoT.

Plan on doing a bullet muffler and turn down at some point, to replace the "stock" catback.

I personal have 3 inch stainless band clamps holding mine together, screw paying for it to be welded and then cutting it to remove it if it ever needs to come out, but I'm a cheap bastard haha

Id also vote for installing it your self! Depending on what you deiced to go with.

Whats your current exhaust set up? I can't remember if you have said before.

*Note this came on the car*

BBK Shorty Headers
Stock Y-Pipe with cats removed
Knock off Flowmaster Cat back

I'm not looking to buy headers but I just want something that doesn't sound like a tin can on the decel

I agree...

You have a really shitty exhaust set-up no wonder it sounds bad and it rattles.

I didnt buy it haha.

Well i'll take it from you guys so I'll get a new exhaust system.

Any thoughts on Pacesetter Quik Trip LTs?

And I'd be willing to buy the SLP LM if it would be compatible for my car....

You goin with a catless y pipe? If so, SLP LM will be just as loud as straight pipes, The LM setup doesnt use a muffler, its just a bullet style resonator. Your car will be loud as hell and raspy. If you want some nice tone, magnaflow, dynomax, borla($$$) are a few good choices. I personally would stay away from flowmaster, i think theyre junk

flowmaster deff don't belong on fbodys. magnaflow I don't like too much and borla is too expensive. dynomax could be an option but its not the loud I don't like its just the poor quality of tone
