Duals -
12-09-03, 12:01 AM
Okay here's my Q.
Are there any dual exausts that make V-6 not sound like rice.
If not I'll fab up one of my own with two stock mufflers.

actually Macs don't sound like rice at all. Sounds real nice at any rpms. Its just not the loudest duals you can find, but they sound really good

A lot of people like MACs. Personally, I have flowmasters, which some people don't like for various reasons. (too loud, too much interior resonance, don't like the "gurgle", etc.) I love mine though. I've gotten numerous comments from v8 guys saying how good my car sounds. Of course performance-wise they still tear me a new one, but hey, it's a start. Search the archives for mufflers and stuff. If I recall correctly, not too long ago there was a thread about this and someone posted a link to a page that had a whole bunch of sound files for different exhaust setups. Anyone remember it?

Your right there was a recent thread about this. I was the first to post on it. I searched and didn't find what I was looking for.
I really just want to sound original I know Its never going to sound like a V8. But I don't want to sound like a ricer either.
Does anybody still have their stock muffler laying around?

A new muffler on the market is probably the best option i've ever heard. It is called vforce. Great muffler. i have flowmasters on mine which sounds okay but i'd like to change it over.

Do u guy's think I could pass CA emissions with a cam and high flow cats with the Flowmasters?
If not I'll buy the cheapest tails, cut the mufflers out, and weld two stock ones in place.

The cam and flowmasters shouldn't be a problem. For the high flow cats, you'd probably have to check the specific brand/cat you're looking at to know for sure.

Don't mufflers do jack and sh#t for emissions. So the flows wouldn't be the problem.
What do cats do? And how do they work?
