Finally decided to redo my exhaust.
took out my FLowmaster 80 series. i love the flowmaster… it was nice but i wanted more! more flow and better deeper more agressive sound
so i orderd the Powerstick from Classic Chambered Exhaust inc
www.classicchambered.com
20inch body… 25inch overall length. 3inch all the way thru!!!
looks just like this
so i mounted it in the I pipe section just behind the cat converter. i just cut out the flowmaster 3inch piping and slipped the Powerstick into that section… the powerstick has slip fit ends so the 3inch slide right in with just abit of force on the inlet! i clamped it up. SEE PICS
i cut off the flowmaster over the axle and have the pipe dumped there temporarily. SEE PICS
in the end, i will have a splitter piece fabbed up and have twin tail exits like the flowmaster system did. similar to the GMMG and SLP loudmouth setup where it comes over the axle and splits into two pipes and out the rear.
TEST DRIVE!!!
the sound is awesome. initial startup sounds like a MUCH healther L98. almost mildy cammed at first. then settles down to about flowmaster idle… just abit deeper. but not too much different from the old idle sound. the muffler sounds better once it gets heated up tho…just like most, and the old flow.
took it for a drive to get some gas. under normal driving its actually quiet… just cruising you cant really hear it… i think its abit quieter than the flowmaster. at higher rpms like 2500rpms when my converter comes up, it sounds about as loud as the flowmaster but has slightly different tone. sounds good tho.
but mash on that gas and let that L98 run wide open and it becomes apparent that something isnt quite right! LOL its more aggressive now, and alittle bit louder… but not too much. its a good loud. has a deep aggressive tone. not raspy and doesnt gargle/backfire on deceleration. its a GREAT sound. but even more noticeable is the higher rpm pull. the car feels very strong now up topend above 4k rpms all the way to 5K… thats that straight thru core! i’ll track it as soon as the rain stops and track reopens!! i bet i picked up 10hp. its almost like straight pipes without the noise!
i’ll get up clips as soon as i can! i highly recommend this exhaust setup
EDIT!! sound clip of start up and idle and few revs!
