exhaust Mods

[jp396]

Has anyone done EX modifications to their Aurora? I was thinking about swapping the stock mufflers for dynomax or magnaflows. are these worth the cost? will it effect the fuel economy?
thanks

i'm gonna try taking my cat off tomorrow and see what happens

I have magnaflow mufflers on mine -- well worth the cost. The sound isn't too loud, and fuel economy wasn't affected at all as far as I can tell.

[jp396]

what about the tone? is it a deep rumble or sound like a ricer?

[ryank771]

It's a deep tone --- like what a v8 should normally sound. I'd never let my car sound like a mini go-kart!!!

[Rezarecter]

it would actually be a very large go-kart :P

I want to get magnaflows for my aurora what model did u get and how much were they?

[ryank771]

to be honest -- can't remember what model, as my paper work is lost somewhere in all the other paperwork for my car in my girlfriend's stash. I'll try to find it later this weekend. I had my front breakpads put on with the mufflers, and that total cost was around 400.

anyone know of a good exhaust shop in the DFW(north texas) area?

I know it sounds lame but you wouldn't believe your ears if you heard it yourself. I put 12" glasspacks on mine. I saw a guy have it done on his '02 LS and I was totally amazed at how clean and throaty it sounded so I figured a 4.0 Aurora could only sound better. I was right. Close your eyes,think about a new Z28, open your eyes and see a front wheel drive car. If the radio's on, you can barely tell a difference. Mileage hasn't changed, if anything it's gone up about 1/2 a point. You will, however, have lots of girls in boys clothes driving Civics staring you down. Feel free to laugh. Total cost from the 'Y' pipe with hangers, $78. I'm still in the design stage on the tips.

Your SES light will come on! 95 and up cars are OBDII and have o2 sensors in front and behind the cat. I know of o2 simsulators for F-bodies not sure if they'll work on the northstars?

[SteVB]

YES! BE WARNED!.....u need them for it to run right.if you wanna mod it, get a performance cat, but ur in for a world of trouble if you scrap em!!!!

[madcatter]

FYI- '96 and up OBDII. '95s have the same connecter but not OBDII.
