Exhaust Differences?? Need to know..
Hey guys,
So, I'm going back to a stock exhaust on my car. Getting ready to potentially trade it in. But I've got a few questions..
- Is there any difference in the header and/or downpipe between the SS 2.4 and the SS s/c? I don't know what the turbo set-up is on the t/c, but might as well throw that in too if I can use it..
- Is there any difference in the actual catback in the SS 2.4 vs the SS s/c vs the SS t/c? Will the t/c exhaust bolt directly up to mine? Wasn't sure of flange sizes, bolts, tubing, etc.
I have an 06 2.4 and am currently running an OEM SS 2.4 header/dp and a hybrid catback of GMPP tubing, OEM SS 2.4 resonator, and a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler.
So I just wanted to see what my options were in converting. I have my eyes on an 09 t/c catback, and would likely get it if it fit. But I wasn't sure if the header/dp would allow that.
Any info asap would be great. Thanks!!

All I know, is that by using a ZZP midlength header, 3" custom DP with a metallic spun cat, vibrant race muffler and ZZP's interlocking flex, fed into the stock res, and then connected to the stock muffler with 2.5" piping, the car sounds really unique.
I spent way, way too much $ and TIME getting the right setup, but it is now perfect. No leaks, no rubbing, and no ******* ear-rupturing highway drone at 70 with the a/c on.
This is on a 2.0l LSJ. I actually received a compliment today at the beverage center. ha

In all seriousness though I'd say it's cheaper to just go catback.

Ok sweet, so the t/c exhaust will for sure fit on my 2.4? Same flange bolt pattern? Is the tubing in the t/c catback any bigger because it's for a turbo?
And yes, I know what you mean. I spent far too much money on my exhaust, and now look.. Going back to stock. I've had a ZZP header/dp along with a GMPP Performance exhaust, an Ark N2 exhaust, and now my hybrid set-up. They all sounded fine, but forget that. OEM time.. lol

I'd assume, but you never know.. lol
But i don't know about the 5 speed vs auto.. I had a ZZP header on mine for awhile.. It was on a 5 speed before mine..
