I nearly switched to the 4-1's Mick, but they talked me out of them. I really am after some decent sound, don't care about the power too much on this car. If I want to scare the shit out of myself I will jump in the Calais and give it half throttle in 3rd gear :)Quote:

Don't waste your money Rod. :slap:
The standard throttle body is absolutely fine for a stock LS1.
Also, they can be a pita to tune.
Plenty of people with quite big cams & even head work using the stock throttle body.
I have never had an aftermarket cat back on a V8 that is as quiet as this Manta. Don't get me wrong, it is bliss inside the cabin, no drone at all. It does however sound very much like my old VT2 prior to it being modified :( I don't want another crazy loud car that shakes the neighbors windows like the Calais, but I am really hoping that the headers and cats will give it a bit more note.
Thanks Ed, I new it would be too good to be true :)Quote:

Not yet Ed, he is going to ring me when he has made up the cats. He said he might even come in on the weekend and do them. I told him no rush as the car does not go in until the 12th for the engine work.Quote:

Has centre mufflers and rear resonators. No drone at all which I am really liking. Hopefully the headers and cats will give it a bit more V8 note.Quote:

Looking at the pics of your new Manta exhaust, you have clearly purchased the Quiet version.

Yes, as soon as I unpacked it I figured it was the quiet system, just did not realise how quiet it would be. Still, very happy with the lack of drone and with the headers and cats going in I am sure I will be happy with it.Quote:

Picked these up today. Once again, these guys are super easy to deal with and just really great customer service. Everything is included in the price as well, heat shield, all the gaskets and bolts etc. Ended up being $300 cheaper than I expected as well.
You gotta be happy with that! :thumbsup:
Yes "shields" thanks for reminding me, the bigger pipes run very close to the PS boots.Quote:
