Default How Does This Exhaust Sound?

I want to get your opinion on how this exhaust wound sound.
LT headers by summit, 2 Dynomax bullets, and an o/r x pipe. Also how much hp do you think i would gain from this?

I have no idea how your car is going to sound. I've never heard those mufflers before.

It's hard to say how much power you're going to gain. It kind of depends on what you're using now.

My car had stock exhaust manifolds, a single exhaust pipe with one cat and a single muffler (single in, single out). I don't even think it was 2 inches in diameter. I put Hedman 1 5/8" full length headers and a 2 1/2" Flowmaster full length dual exhaust system on it. The system uses one muffler that go's between the rear end and the gas tank. It's dual in and dual out.

It made a HUGE difference on my car, but mine was about as restricted as it gets to start with.

My car has true duals right now with no cats and stock mufflers and manifolds. Also did the full length headers go on easy and was it a tight fit?

Thanks

Yours probably won't gain quite as much as mine did because your current system is better then mine was. My new set up really did make a big difference, I was surprised.

I was a little disappointed with my Hedman Headers. I had to grind open the bolt hole openings for both #1 and #2 cylinders. I couldn't get the bolts to line up correctly. The rest of the bolt holes were good. I just didn't feel that for $160 I should have to do this.

I had to put the driver side header in from underneath the car, which was pretty easy. I couldn't get it to go in from the top. I put the passenger side in from the top of the car but I had to remove the passenger side motor mount and jack the engine up a little. It really wasn't that big of a deal to do.

Thanks NYH1, I'm ordering mufflers and headers today. It'll have summit LT headers with 2 magnaflow mufflers. I'm really hopeing it will sound good and give me at least a slight increase in power.
