Figured I'd put this in this area so it gets archived properly

2.5" pipes... Check!
Cat... Removing!
Muffler... Crap
The muffler in my GLH has a hole in it. It has a Super Turbo muffler on it now and I've been thinking of replacing it with the same this one. Didn't see much room so maybe I should ask and know for sure, will an oval type design fit nicely in the stock location?

But looking for some suggestions...

Ive always been interested in trying a Chevy Trailblazer muffler! The are the same style round muffler with a rather large inlet and outlet which is a turndown. The stock outlet on GLHs arent centered in the muffler and neither is the Trailblazers. My mom has one so Ill get some pics and measurements if I can. I think it would flow good without being too loud or losing too much backpressure.

Ive had a straight out the back 2.25'' with a 2.5'' bullet muffler and no cat and it is very loud! Im corking my GLH with a stock Omni muffler I bought on Ebay. Im gonna have the Hooker longtube go into a 2.5'' pipe back to the stock muffler then put a cutout for racing right before the rear axle!

flowmaster offset in center out fits good , note watchout if your track has limit it was pushing 96 dbs limit was 98dbs

Anyone ever try one of the Summit brand muffler's?

This is the plan...

Having the exhaust pipes redone, 2.5"
As for the cat. converter, it's being deleted
Now the muffler, Dynomax Super Turbo(WLK-17733)

Also ordered some Taylor 8mm spark plug wires. Upgrade from the autozone 7mm that was bought in KS just incase... LOL

I actually had that same Dynomax on my Sundance I used to own. It had a gutted cat, 2.5'' piping back to that muffler. Sounded alright and wasnt way loud.

Instead of just sticking a peace of pipe where the cat was, use a downpipe from a turbo car! We did this on my buddys carbd SC. We used the 2.25'' DP off of a turbo car and it bolted right up to the stock exhaust manifold. In your case I would find a 2.5'' DP of course.

How 'bout this?...I don't know how much space there is under the rear of the GLH.....but, I've got a 90's Dakota/D150 muffler stuffed under my Shadow.....my entire exhaust tubing is 2.5"..stainless...I wanted a free flowing setup that also would be quiet...the inlet on the Dakota unit is 2 3/4" centered and the outlet is 2 1/2" offset. It's a 7x9 shell, 15" long, tucks up under the Shadow tightly but it fits. Along with a Walker *bullet* resonator upstream behind the cat this system IS nice and quiet. There is a deep tone to the exhaust but its pleasant to listen to.

Hooker long tube, 2.5" collector - FTW !

that and a 2.5" "cherry bomb" mounted where cat was = good sound

(use stiff motor mounts &/or a better dogbone to restrict engine movement = cracks in primary tube #1 DAMHIK,IJK)

Try this

Mexican exhaust manifold, its basically a factory cast iron tubular header:nodding:

Dynomax super turbo muffler

No dogbone, 88 TBI/A670 combo, PB.com mounts are on the list, just need to prep the A568 before i buy them:thumb:

Do you have a photo of this header / manifold ?

Do like I did on old Matchbox....2.5 all the way back and then put a Warlock(?) muffler on the end. This is a turbo muffler that has a removable plud on it. When the plug is in place it acts like a regular, but quiet turbo muffler, but remove the plug and it becomes a straight throuh pipe, but still quieter than straight through. It takes under 1 minute to remove the plug that is held on with 3 wingnuts....or use an electric cut out further toward the motor.....I am cheap and went with the muffler...about $40 back then.

I have to get the car up in the air some to get decent pics of it...

The muffler has a wicked deep tone. I wouldn't replace
