catback.

Just found a cheap price for the muffler I've been drooling over and clicked 'buy.'

Flowmaster Hushpower II 2.25" muffler...

Looking to run it without a resonator, and eventually quite possibly without a cat.

I'll post some pics/videos/sound clips up when I get it installed. Just from hearing the sounds from flowmaster's site, I'm drooling.

I was really having second thoughts on getting it and just getting an msd 6al or 6+, but I'll wait on that until later. I've got quite a bit of performance stuff, and since this car's planned to be a street/strip car, I'd like to have the rest of the sound (and a tiny bit of performance).






Edit: Just found a nice resonator that doubles as a turn-down/tip for my exhaust. Looks like I'll be using one after all.

Edit2: Just ordered the res/turndown. It's a Flowtech Purple Hornie... sadly, it's on backorder 'til the 16th so I'll have my catback project put on a slight hold... here's the pic:




I'll likely be painting it black.

looks hot, should sound pretty sweet with the headers

I need to get my exhaust put on soon, hiding those big ol headers from mom is getting tough

I remembered seeing the purple hornie in the summit catalog and loving it.

Thanks guys, incase you guys don't know (I just realized, the pics may seem a little odd), my exhaust is being planned as being side-exit in front of the rear passenger side tire.

I still need to pickup some heatshielding for the floorboards so I don't start melting anything and order my mandrel bends to cut the tubing to fit. It's looking like I'll only need a very minimal amount of tubing.

Purple Hornies! What a kick ass name!

yeah, I'm sure it'll strike fear in the hearts of many.
