I have used the elim. I found they were a little loud for every day driving in town. But I also have no CAT, replaced it with a bolt in test pipe. Ended up going with Flowmasters ser 40 and no CAT. sounds great.
Elim are a great way to go for the money though. make them yourself for about $30.00 from your local parts store.

way to go!!! they do nice on my 87 vert (sold) and have now ordered them for my 92 as oem muffler sound like a toyota....[/QUOTE]
Thats the thing to my ears...I have notice elim. pipes sounds great and seem to add better performance on the pre-LT1 motors...for some reason they sounded like a glass-pack on LT1 motors unless idling...might just be my ears though.

My 84 has them and they are not loud at all, but once I removed the cat they are louder but sound even better, now people think a crossfire is a super powerful car.

We have the Corvette Central muffler eliminators and find them just right. Love the sound! There is a bit of resonation but not enough to be annoying.

Vette(s): one ea. 1996 LT1, red on gray interior, stroker 383 Dart heads w/ 2.02"int,1.60exeh 11.8:1, Comp Cam 230/236@50 .570/.576 113LSA , Crane 1.6:1`rocker arms, GM Delphi roller lifters HiFlo Cats, Xpipe and low restriction muffles, it sounds lumpy at idle!!!
I installed a set of DynoMax mufflers along with CAT back duels m/n 19476 on my 1996 LT1. This complete assembly removes the resonator and sounds pretty cool too. Here is a install diagram in a PDF < http://www.dynomax.com/instruction_guides.php > I purchased the cat back from NAPA for $584.00 plus shipping @ $60.00. These exhausts are a special order and that is why I had to pay freight.
I had installed a set of JB shorty headers which have all of the connections for EPA and fit the LT1. Some where along the way I had my tuner install a pair of high flow cats. Anyhow I thought some of you all would like the black rectangular tips that look like the late model exhaust. JRB

When I bought my 89 coupe , It had 1 muffler ( With Holes ) & just 1 pipe opp-side I had them both redone all the way back to the "Y" for 80 Bucks with Stingray tips I got from a good guys show for 15 bucks , Man this thing sounds mean when I step on it and has a nice lil rumble @ idle....... I've since gave away the Flowmaster 1 chambers I had got for it .....not needed @ all .

Vette(s): 1985 Black Coupe With Graphite Interior - Owned Since 2012 - My First With Bose System, Leather Interior
2001 Convertible Triple Black With 1SC Package; F45 Selective Real Time Dampening; G92 3.15 Performance Axle Ratio; QF5 Polished Aluminum Wheels
Just bought my 85 in April with eliminators and the cat still in place. Sounds mean, certainly improves performance and gets a little attention. I like it, but would not want the car to be any louder!
