No, I didn't say rash, so no jokes about that. But I finally did get rid of that raspy exhaust sound I've had since I put on the headers and off road Y pipe. Was real bad from 1500rpm to 3000 rpm in first/second gear. But now its all gone. Put a Powerstick muffler in the I pipe right after the Y pipe. Fit in there nicely. Didn't really quiet the car down much, at idle it sounds the same and its still loud under full throttle. I just don't have that nasty raspy sound going through the gears. Ahhhhh. While I was down there I also put in an aluminum driveshaft. My car came with a steel one due to the original 2.74 gears. Anybody need a steel driveshaft?

I had a magnaflow high flow cat in my 3 inch set up with a borla xr1 muffler and It sounded like pure sex. The cat gets rid of the gas smell out the back and also gets rid of any rasp whatsoever. It was perfect! Had BBK shorties too. The cat was only 60 bucks on ebay and it keeps out any drone at any rpm range. Also has very little restriction. Had a dyno with a cutout open and then closed and it didn't change by even a single drop1994 Z28 A4 Leather, Ttops, Angel Eyes, Flowmaster 40 series *Sold*

I agree, I originally had cats in my true dual setup and it sounded amazing. It still sounded good without them, but it was smoother with them and just had an overall great tone. Only reason I had them removed was one blew out within a few weeks and I just said **** it and had them removed. Any setup I have in the future with a moderate enough cam to use them will have cats.Comment

OP,how much for the steel drive shaft?I have a 97 camaro with the 2 piece drive shaft and would like to change that.Comment

What kind of y pipe do you have?? I have a bbk y pipe wih long tubes and a magnaflow and has zero rasp. It's usually crappy y pipes.Comment

Any 84-02 f body uses the same length drive shaft with same yoke so he could swap it with is 2 piece shaft.Originally posted by farmington View PostComment

Don't know the brand of the headers or Y pipe, but the Y does at least look decent. Its probably from the crappy flowmaster cat back that's on the car.When in doubt, Whip it out !Comment

Was still thinking about finding another cat-back. The car sounds way better without the rasp, but its just not quite right.When in doubt, Whip it out !Comment

I love my magnaflow. IMO it's the best sounding exhaust on the market.Comment
