Hey everyone, just spent some time last night installing this Dynomax® Performance Exhaust | Vehicle LookUp | 2004 CHEVROLET IMPALA SS
I got it from Summit Racing for $424 shipped, it is the first exhaust I have found for the SS besides Corsa (~$1200). The installation was pretty straight forward, everything needed came with the kit. Total time I would say around 5 hours - most of that being due to the little garage space I had available and adjusting the new piping after getting it on the car.
This kit can be used for the Impala, Grand Prix and Monte Carlo - that being said there are a few extra exhaust hangers on the piping than the Impala uses, not a problem though. It is an all clamp-on kit which is nice if you ever want to remove it or experiment with different mufflers.
Now for the sound. Just like another person said I read in some reviews "Its not loud but it is surely noticeable over stock." It has a nice rumble at idle and gets a little louder when the car is accelerating through gears 1 & 2. But once OD kicks in it quiets down to a low rumble on the highway. It doesnt sound like any of those riced out Civics or Integras, it sounds like what should have been stock
Pictures to come
