2008 GT Exhaust

[Headpool89]

Which is a better exhaust for performance, sound and quality? Flowmaster or Borla?

[Zaks06GT]

Borla!

It's not that simple. They all have several different types and sounding mufflers. Also mods can have an effect on sound as well as LT headers and mid pipes with or without cats.
The best way to decide is in person phones and computer speakers don't really sound right. Go to a show or club and find what you like and ask about the setup.
Tons of people will argue for their setup as best, but many of them change mufflers every two months.
You gotta find what you like first.

[Silversky545]

I have longtubes
bassani off road x
About to put on off road h (maybe high flow cats) an borla s type stingers.... I do not like the way it sounds ... sounds like a angry 350 z

Thinking of selling all of it... on my 3rd or 4th set up :-/

[Mady]

Lol

Yea. I've had plenty of different types but mostly on trucks so I know its gonna sound way different on the GT.

[GTRob504]

Any axle back alone without other exhaust mods can only change the sound so much. A stock h pipe with cats will sound better with a chambered muffler such as a Flowmaster or Pypes violators. However once you either change headers or the mid pipe, an axle back can have a greater effect to the sound.

I too am on my third setup, so my advice would be to pick up a used set of flowmaster for cheap. You will like them. Then start planning on what you want to do longer term.

Good luck!

I like the pypes axle backs, I took my mufflers off though and didn't like the sound, I'll assume it's about the same for a muffler delete

How are they different ?

[Mady]

Well no mufflers u don't have anything the slp cat back is a muffler delet it's a tip but the inside of it is coated and gos from a 2.5 diameter to 4" diameter and resonates the sound off the smooth coated walls to produce and different louder sound

Ok thanks . I thought that was the case. I wondered why you would pay $300 for a muffler delete when you could just run a pipe

The inside is smooth but rest assured it isnt just reg pipe it's coated with something the mugger guy said it wasn't a resonator I'm like ur retarded XD lol ur thinking of glass packs they are the ones with the holes muffler deletes just resonate the sound not muffle them at all

You can run a pipe and put a tip on it for like $80. I personally thought it sounded pretty good with the cats and h pipe still on. Then I put headers an o/rx on and it was obnoxious.

Does anyone have any experience with the mac offroad pro chamber to mac boom tube set up? On my 02 gt i had the offroad pro chamber to flow master and i loved how it sounded, and i was just wondering how the 3 valve sounds

[MikesChargedGT]

Oh they run resonator tips, does that really change sound that much?
