[tony d]

I am looking to upgrade my exhaust system , is there any particular system that performs better than the others or are they all about the same ?

Corsa just made a system that will ship mid-January. I'll keep you posted.

corsa? sheeeyit it will prolly be like 1000+ im thinkin ill just cut the suitcase off and put an 8 inch glasspak on there

[Edspad]

Here are a few i know of,there will be more manufactures im sure as time goes by.
Myself im waiting for a system thats worth its cost.

Borla

Billy Boat

The H3 Source (sma system ?)

Stylinconcepts (magnaflow)

Teaka Toys (GLH System)

[aggiehummer...er]

The Billy Boat system is the one sold by SMA. We've put one on, had a lot of issues getting it put on correctly, and it just didn't have the right sound. The Corsa will be expensive, but I think it'll be worth it.

One other thing to keep in mind about exhausts... can't tell you how many times I saw trailer hitches get banged around last time I was out. If you offroad... chrome exhaust nozzels are cool, and look great. But if they are not tucked under... where nobody can see em... they may get pancaked. I totally underated those advertised clearance angles.

Tony I have the SMA exhaust and I like it alot.I can confirm that the exhaust Tips will get damaged when off-roading.The last time at Sunday River back in October I did bend my Tip a little bit.I would highly recommend staying away from Teaky Toys they are crazy on thier prices.You should keep in mind that there will be some inside cabin noise.

To Answer your question. All of the systems pretty much perform the same,maybe a slight change in note per system,but they flow pretty much the same.of course each manufacture will claim otherwise. WannabeH3 was jokeing (i think?)about the glass pack,but the truth is The pack flows even better.

Aggiehummer - please let us know when you get to try a Corsa system on a H3.

thanks,

This System Looks Cool as well.

Zoomers Thread.

So far a lot of speculation about exhaust systems.

Other than some good feedback about the SMA exhaust by a half dozen H3 owners, the rest has been less than useful.

Maybe we can get some real feedback on the Corsa system.

Oh no im not jokin haha i did that on a v6 car and it sounded great! and only cost 50 bucks! im scared to do it to the h3 tho just in case it sucks with the 5 banger... i dunno how easy it is to re-put on the suitcase after you cut it off.... or if it messes with any sensors..

[aggiehummer...er]

We also ordered the GM exhaust kit for the H3 today, it was just made available for order. It was designed by Borla. I'm planning on taking sound samples and putting them on our website at 1000, 3000, and 5000 rpm for each exhaust system we offer as well, to help everyone out.

[tony d]

do you have the gm part# for the exhaust system made by borla ?

Hi, Zoomers exhaust has recently inquired about becoming a supporting vendor here and we hope to up and running soon...Would anyone be interested in testing the New Zoomers Cat-Back for the forums? We'd make it worth your while...Please contact me or post here if your interested. Or if you'd like call me so we can discuss the details. Ron 866-4ZOOMERS

First Hummer:

1. Did you go back to stock intake?
2. If so, how is the sound now with your SMA exhaust?

I drove the dealers H3 with both SMA intake and SMA exhaust installed and I thought a lot of noise was coming from the front (intake).

thanks,
Steve

Yea packs do sound great. Nothing like straight through Exhaust, here's a wav file of my 93-mustang gt with Dynomax RV glass packs. The packs lasted about 3 years before they burned out, add 3-inch chrome Cannons.
93 mustang gt wav.

If my H3 sounded like that then it would be packs for sure,but im afraid of sounding more like the ups truck..
