How loud?? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just want peoples opinions on how loud this set up would be. Right now I have long tubes, but a cam and muffler delete aren't far behind. So how loud would LTH's, a cam and muffler delete be?? Any feedback is appreciated

Do you still have cats? In any case, this would be quite loud, especially without cats. Loud enough to definitely draw attention, and also loud enough that I personally wouldnt want to drive it every day ha. Post up some sound clips when you do it.

Im currently rolling Long tubes, No cats, x-pipe and muffler delete. Its pretty vicious. Cold starts are brutal. just cruising along isn't that loud IMO. Wide open at high RPMs is unholy loud. I do have a lot of popping on deceleration but I actually like it. Any questions, let me know. hope this helps.

I have the same set up as Arogg but have a cam as well. Agree with his post. Cold starts and WOT are loud beyond belief. Just cruising it is calm, mellow, with a nice tone.

Yea I have hi flow cats, and I wouldn't care lol if it's the way I like it than people can hate. Besides neighbors already hate me starting my car when I go to work at night

You've already removed the most restrictive part of the exhaust (the stock cats). The cam won't necessarily make it louder. It will provide you with a nice lope, depending on how aggressive you go. As far as removing the stock mufflers, it's questionable. When I did my exhaust, I removed the stock mufflers first and replaced them with FlowMaster (loud). The next year, I added the high-flow cats (louder). This past year, I added headers (same volume, just a better sound). The HF cats were the difference maker when it came to sound. Delete the mufflers and let us know.

Same set up for me. Only loud when you want it to be. No drone at highway speed.

Cam would be cool but I am not sure I could live with it with all that I have done to my Camaro already, it is reasonably loud now but livable!

Straight piped here, it's pretty loud, I would add cats/mufflers if I went with a cam setup
