2000 Eldorado with Summit Race mufflers and highflow cat

[samdaman324]

hey ive got the same car, just lookin to get a nice deep loud sound, what do you think my best bet is for exhaust, not lookin full system, any specifics?

[jmc6000]

@samdaman324 Replace the stock mufflers with some 40 series flowmaster. That should give you some of the sound you are looking for. Plus do a cold air intake too.

[homelesspimps]

nice sound. is there an exhaust system for the northstar v8 that will make it louder than if it was open headers?

[jmc6000]

@homelesspimps Single chamber mufflers like the cherry bomb extremes or flowmaster 10 series!

[70torino429]

you take the resonator out of the exhaust?

[jmc6000]

It did not have one orginally!

[snakesonaplane2]

Is that the summit Racing muffler or stainless muffler? Both are chambered but the stainless has ceramic packing and obviously is stainless steel instead of aluminum.

[jmc6000]

Regular Summit racing muffler, not the stainless one.

[theforte]

is this the ETC OR THE ESC??? 300hp or 275hp?

[jmc6000]

ETC 300hp

sounds cool!!!!!

did the high flow cat make any sound/performance difference?

i have a 97etc and i have flowmaster 40's on it but the cat/downpipe is still stock and im debating on whether or not to go for the highflow cat.

[jmc6000]

The highflow cat does make a difference in both sound and performace. The mod is well worth it. Go with a magnafloe cat off of summit racing, they have one of the best highflow cats out there and they will not trip the SES light!

@jmc6000 A high flow cat is worth 3hp. Sorry to burst your bubble.

[jmc6000]

@MrHotrodlincoln Well it depends on the car as well. My 02 Camaro droped a 1/2 second off my 1/4 mile time after switching to a high flow cat. That accounts alittle more than 3hp there bud.

[MrHotrodlincoln]

@jmc6000 That's the most absurd thing I have ever heard LOL. It might sound good on youtube, but in real life you are obviously a pathalogical liar. ;-)

[jmc6000]

@MrHotrodlincoln When you acually see the inside of a stock cat compared to a highflow one, then come and talk. I have no idea who told you that a highflow cat only accounts for a 3hp gain, but however did is more full of crap than I am! But whatever puts you to sleep at night there bud. I know what works and I have the time slips to prove it.

[MrHotrodlincoln]

@jmc6000 If you dropped off a half second from an exhaust modification there was obviously more factors at play here than simply going to a high flow cat. I still don't believe it. Sorry. A full exhaust setup is likely to produce that result. If that's what you mean, I can understand. If you are trying to say it was just the high flow cat that worked miracles, you're one confused individual. Let's hear a better explanation here because obviously I am confused by your lavish statement.

[MrHotrodlincoln]

@jmc6000 And by the way, I've had Magnaflow cats. I've seen the inside of them, not like it matters because I sold them and no longer run cats. They were nothing special. High flowing? Yeah, big deal. My whole exhaust is high flowing.

[gearhead291]

yea it does sound relly good, i might get one of these

[mark0101]

It sounds really good.
