So today my wife and I went to a local used car lot and test drove 2 vehicles. Before,I was about to purchase an suv,the dealer pulled out of the garage in a 2009 impala ltz. Long story short,I told them I was interested in the impala and to my surprise it was 1000 dollars cheaper than the suv!.It's black with after market chrome rims,and already had duel exhaust on it like I liked and would have added if no so equipped. It has a deep rumble and not raspy as far as a v-6 goes,I'm not sure what mufflers are on it but sounds great. It's loaded with leather on star,and has the fog lights which look really cool at night. I have wanted an impala for a col years now and finally found one,fairly low miles at 79,000.
Welcome! I would also love to see some pictures. I had a 2009 super sport and now my son has a 2014 LTZ limited. I really like the platform.
Also just an FYI, all eighth generation LTZ models, like yours, came with the dual exhaust. So, it might not be an aftermarket system that is on the car.
Thanks tss,I wasn't sure if my car came factory with duel exhaust or not,but the mufflers on it don't look or sound factory,but I can't see the manufacturing name on them,maybe just some genetic turbos? At least it sounds good!
I will agree with you, whatever Chevy did to the stock exhaust on the 3.9 and 3.6 is incredible (I have no real experience with the 3.5). Imo they sound fantastic stock, especially upon startup... Very throaty and rumbly.
What i mean by turbo is I think thrush or someone makes what's called turbo mufflers,they are just cheap well sounding mufflers but are prone to rusting,these mufflers are definitely not stock it's pretty loud but sounds awesome with little drone or cabin noise.
Impaler, I didn't take offense,that sarcasm is my sense of humor also,I actually laughed out loud at your response,some people are very sensitive but after being a cop for many years l learned to have a sense of humor,lol
@Bcb577 - FYI - I edited your original post and put the URL inside img and /img "flags" - this way the image shows up without having to click on a link to the external site. Just an FYI for the future! I also removed the second post that had a link that didn't work.
Thanks Teerev! The first thing I'm looking into is possibly getting a cold air intake,eventually lower it 1.5 inches but haven't made a final decision on that yet.
Those are all great ideas. I'm jealous lol. I'd be doing a lot more to my car, things you just suggested, if I had more money lol! Maybe I'll start throwing (more) money at it when it's fully paid off next year
There are plenty of great threads on the forum with all kinds of suggestions of things to do with your car if you were interested! I'm pretty sure you can just ask for suggestions too lol.
Anyway, beautiful car and good luck with your mods!
Teerev, I definitely know about the money issue,lol. It'll take me awhile to get it lowered,but maybe ill figure out how to put on the cold air intake without messing something up,lol
You shoulda seen what I did to the neighbors cat to get it out of the pic,
