What swayed you & Which Exhaust Choice Did Ya Make for the 3.7 L'il Animal
#21
I've been very happy with them and am now trying to decide on a highflow catted midpipe replacement.
I guess I have two questions for Siber and anyone else who's been down this path:
1. What aspect of the Magnaflows left them off the short list when anticipating the headers later - and was it specific to the shorties or would it have been the same consideration with LT's?
2. Should I expect a pretty good improvement via the butt dyno and throttle response with only the highflow cats and retune, or is it only nominal without the headers?

My friend has the Magnaflows with long tubes and a catted X Pipe and it is too loud for my tastes. Although if you left the stock cats and only ran shorties it would not be as loud and would be deeper.
As for the Magnaflows not being on the short list for me was just because I wanted it a little quieter. So it was the Touring, either the Borla or FRPP.

Thanks, Siber.
Been a long week at work, but found a few minutes yesterday to get the BBK ceramic coated shorties ordered.
Gonna spice up the commute a little!
Figured I would start with those and see how long before I "need" to expand the midpipes/cats to 2.5", too.

Since I do not go fast in a straight line and prefer the mountains keeping all the torque I can get out of it was important.

BBK Short tube headers, FRPP Cut and clamp X-Pipe and Borla Touring A/B

I did not want real loud but you can hear it coming

So how did you like just the BBK shorties with the rest stock exhaust?
Have you changed it since then?
Impressions?

It actually got a little louder and deeper with the Stock Manual mufflers and the BBK STH's on mine. I did everything before the Mufflers, the reason I went with the Touring mufflers, but I did not want overly loud either.

I am thinking of leaving the rest of the exhaust system stock (I do have the manual so-the manual mufflers)- but have considered the catted x pipe or the clamp on x pipe with the stock mufflers.
I do not want loud, as I already have some snotty neighbors to deal with about everything else under the sky.
But I would like a little more sub 3000rpm power- for when I tow, or just cruise around
OMG there is a weed in my yard- drop everything and go take care of that.
Oh it is fall and the leaves are falling- what you didn't rake everyday to keep the yard spotless
OMG it is summer and a drought- what you didn't water twice a day and the yard is not bright dark green like ours. and you haven't mowed in 5 weeks- cuz it is not growing.
OMG you put your trash can out at 5pm on Sunday- city ordinance says it can't go out til Sunday night to be picked up Monday morning. (what time does night start, exactly?)
OMG it snowed- you haven't shoveled the sidewalk right down to the concrete yet, it has been like 5 minutes....better drop everything and get on that
OMG- your flowers are past bloom, better drop everything and get to dead heading them
OMG you burn wood in the winter, well your wood pile is harboring mice. you can't be having a rodent infestation living here. They eat my grass and flowers- you better get on that. (oh they did call the city and whine)
OMG- you put in an all new concrete driveway yourself and it doesn't look as nice as mine- tear it out and pay a contractor 5 times what it cost me to redo it- yep they called the city on that too
OMG- you have brick and cedar. I don't like that look or the color- you should pull it down and get someone to fix that. Yep they bitched about that too and the ******** at the city came out and questioned me about it... wtf?
OMG- it was freezing rain for 2 days and my driveway faces north- shade line 3/4 way down the driveway so I pulled out my power washer and used it hooked up to the hot water heater to remove the 1" layer of ice so I could drive up it again. yep it went into the street and down the storm sewer---they called the city actually 911 and said I was flooding their house...lol---they live more than 200' away and are 5' about sidewalk level, 7' above road level. How the f*ck am I flooding your house exactly?
I hate my one neighbor and they have a couple of idiots friends in the neighborhood that just agree with anything they say
