Was checking out the bottom of my LTZ and noticed 2 mufflers :eek: one under the pass compartment and the rear with the dual exits. was thinking of replacing the first muff with a straight pipe and leaving the rear only, any benefits to this mod???

Are you sure you're not looking at the cat?

Looks like the cats are right off the exhaust manifolds :)

ok so your seeing a resanator and/or a muffler and/or a cat,
it is very common to cut the cat off but it is a fedral offence, but places ( like Michigan) dont do tests so if yoru state dosent test go ahead. ( might void yoru warrenty though) if u cut the cat you will get a SES light

now for the resanator and/or the muffler it would make the car sound a little more throaty. do you have a 4 or 6 cyl? no matter what you arent going to get that V8 rumble. and performance wise it will probly net 1-3 Hp not very much (figure a $50 charge at an exaust shop) . gm tends to overbuild their exaust systems they tend to flow pretty well

I just noticed the other day that the GM Accessories site list a exhaust for the Pontiac G6 (our sister car)....they have a single exit system for the 2.4/3.5 and a dual exit system for the 3.6

Problem is that the MSRP is $800 & $900, respectively. And then it's a about $150 less for either system thru www.gmpartsdirect.com

All stainless steel too....I had a GMPP exhaust on my Ion Redline (was for the Cobalt/G5 though) and it sounded awesome....kind of like a Borla system.....so I know that it'll sound good, but that's a lot of $$$$
