Morning Guys/Gals

I used to get a lot of comps. at gas stations and shit on my car chopping wood, now since I put that new exhaust on you can't really tell it's cammed. It was LTH, High flow Cats, stock pipe all the way back and a Doug Thorley Muffler Delete.
Ima get a new Axle-Back, just haven't decided on which one. I like to hear the chop, and gotta be 3" Pipe.
Thanks Fellas for any input.

Here is a Video "before" the new Exhaust I put under there 2 weeks ago

What does it sound like now? I went back and looked at the pics of your "new" exhaust, and it looks like just after the "x pipe" area you have 2 long resonators, and at the rear your mufflers. You could try 2 different things, the easiest would be removing those 2 resonators that should free up some sound, or leave the resonators, and delete the mufflers. Either way would net you more sound..

I've got Stainless Works long tubes with cats, Two Flowmaster FX straight throughs going through Solo J-Pipes. With TSP cam, Sounds awesome, Heads turn everywhere.

I'd like to keep the Pots under there if I can but I will try to do the Resonator Delete, I just need 2 couplings and it ready to go, or I get some Muffler shop to weld it back on.

Yeah. Back when I had the Flowmaster Outlaw ZL1 catback on there and tried to quiet it down some and try to get rid of the drone, I installed some resonators about the same size as what looks like on yours, and it knocked the sound down way too much, so I ended up taking them back out because I missed the sound volume! Plus they did n't get rid of the drone the Flowmaster is famous for. That's why they call them "dronemasters"!! lol. Now I have the Corsa and love it!!

The drone is why I tore my rear end up, I couldn't hear a thing

So made a quick video how it sounds now, I believe it has gotten better after break in period. I'm just gonna hold off on the Axle-Back, wadda ya think?

SlowLS1 · 11-19-2023, 06:56 AM

I think it sounds good, I'd leave it. Get you a pair of Noweeds or QTP diverters and wake it up on demand.

Leadsled · 11-19-2023, 07:57 AM

If you don’t want drone… look into Solo Performance

1JEWLDSSRS · 11-19-2023, 08:55 AM

Well for me, I think it is still much quieter than the first vid for sure. You can leave it and do like SlowLS1 said and do the QTP's or the NOWEED's diverters. I have the QTP's and at a flick of a switch, open headers when you want. Not my Camaro, but the exact same thing and location.

Yep. Trans tunnel brace, stock. Like I said, it's not my Camaro. Mine has the BMR tunnel brace on it.
