TFX Performance Kat-Back sound clip?
 
Anyone have a sound clip for this Pacesetter cat-back?

foff667 11-25-2005 10:08 AM

dont do it...i heard some guys lt1 car with what looked to be a pacesetter catback(saw the black/yellow tips) and it sounded completely ricey...and for an lt1 car thats real hard to do...my wife & I both agreed it sounded like complete ass.

95firebirdconvertible 11-25-2005 10:58 AM

I'm not saying that I dont believe you, but this is the reason I am looking for a sound clip. Some people say it sounds just like a Flowmaster but a little better, and other people say different. Thanks for your reply though.

Anyone else have some input/clip?

95firebirdconvertible 11-26-2005 11:14 PM

Ok, I guess I am just going to go with the Flow.

Savage_Messiah 11-27-2005 04:42 PM

(magna)flow?

you prolly wouldn't be happy with flowmaster on your car, frow aht i've heard

95firebirdconvertible 11-27-2005 05:52 PM

well its either Flowmaster, or Edelbrock.

JL8Jeff 11-28-2005 08:50 AM

Get the Hooker cat-back. I had the Flowmaster on my old 93 and it sounded decent. But I've heard the Hooker on a couple of cars and it sounds the best for the money.

95firebirdconvertible 11-28-2005 04:41 PM

Know where I can get a sound clip?

JL8Jeff 11-28-2005 08:51 PM

No, sorry.

95firebirdconvertible 11-28-2005 08:58 PM

Ok I heard a clip of the Hooker exhaust, it wasnt my taste. I like the TSP Rumbler.

Traxion LT1 11-28-2005 09:04 PM

i hav the flowmaster cat-back, but i also hav no cat. it doesnt sound bad, but i hav heard the magnaflow sounds better

JL8Jeff 11-28-2005 09:23 PM

If you're looking to put an exhaust on a 6 cyl car, then forget about any soundclips from a V8 car, there's no comparison. Some of the exhausts sound ok at idle on a V6 but they all sound lousy once you hit the gas. So I would just go with the cheapest if you're looking to pick up power because none of them will sound good on a V6.

95firebirdconvertible 11-28-2005 09:44 PM

Yeah, I listened to a lot of soundclips on v6's today. No matter what I get, there is going to be rasp at high RPM's. The TSP Rumbler didnt sound that bad, probably one of the best. Plus it is cheap ($279 w/ tips). Flowmaster is $265 with 2.5" pipes, where on the other hand The Rumbler is 3". I hope to get my exhaust by Christmas, so I have another week or two to think of what I want.

Savage_Messiah 11-28-2005 11:31 PM

I will reccomend Magnaflow, it's decent sounding, quality, and straight-thru

95firebirdconvertible 11-29-2005 07:14 AM

Yes I have heard Magnaflow. Doesnt sound bad. Just a bit out of my price range. If they knocked off a hundred bucks, I'd think about it.
Thanks.

You definitely don't need dual 3" tailpipes. I ran the Flowmaster with 2.5" tailpipes on my supercharged 93 Z28. Actually, my neighbour's friend has a V6 Camaro with a flowmaster and dual 3" pipes and it's horrible sounding. Listening to a soundclip of a car sitting there revving it's engine is no comparison to what the car sounds like while driving it under load. Believe me, this V6 Camaro sounds terrible driving away. Keep the tailpipes small and it won't sound nearly as bad. Big tailpipes are for :rice: :mrgreen:

95firebirdconvertible 11-29-2005 08:08 AM

TSP Rumbler Tailpipes are 2.5"

Thanks.

PM the exhaust guys... mine was a bit under $350

95firebirdconvertible 11-29-2005 02:45 PM

Thanks for your input guys. I am really tight on money, and I pretty much decided to go with Flowmaster.

Savage_Messiah 11-29-2005 05:43 PM

I'm sorry.

Isnt your car a 3.4? I cant immagine a 3.4 sounding any better then a 3.8. My personal Opinion, Kasey's car sounds GREAT at idle, almost exactly like my Z, but when he gets on it does get alittle anoying but its nothing compared to Jame's car!

If I had a 3.4, Id stick to a simple magnaflow muffler, or even a flowmaster, but I wouldnt bother with a cat-back.

Tru2Chevy 11-29-2005 05:59 PM

3.4 sound > 3.8 sound

60* v6s sound way better than 90*

They all sound like rice when you rev em up, but most 3.4 sound pretty good till around 3k RPMs.

The only thing that will help the rasp is a bullet muffler.

Did you find a clip of the TSP on an LT1 car?

Because thats the exhaust I am leaning towards but I haven't been able to find a clip.

Also I have a flowmaster muffler on my car now that came with the car when I bought it. I'm going to sell it when I get my new exhaust but I'm not talking it off till March or April because my car is already parked for the winter.

Just a thought if you felt like waiting.

The Flowmaster sounds good but its not the sound I'm looking for.

I'm either going for a Loudmouth or a Rumbler still undecided.

ar0ck 11-29-2005 06:36 PM

Joe 89TransAmWS6, has the TSP Rumbler on his 93 T/A. He also has headers but Ive never heard him get on it before so I couldnt tell you if I like it or not.

89 Trans Am WS6 11-29-2005 06:39 PM

really, never?

Well, ill just hafta do that for ya one day then..

But i really love the rumbler..great system and not as raspy as a loudmouth.
