Camaro Exhaust Vs Mustang Exhaust

Fun little tidbit for you Camaro guys. I can admit when I lose to a Camaro...

Recently Brothers Performance held their semi-annual car show in Deland, FL.

They had a dyno shoot out and and exhasut sound-off competition. Considering I have a V6 I didnt bother to go up against the big-boy V8's with headers and monster exhaust until...

First car on the sound off comp. was a VERY nice red V6 Camaro which put out 122db. After about six or seven V8 BURLY muscle mustangs ALL failed to crack 110db, I figured it was the LOUDNESS of the V6 engines/exhaust which would be the key. They may not sound muscle, but they are definetely LOUD.

Long story short, I managed to make it on the list and eventually finished 3rd with 117db, behind an 01' Cobra with 118db. I thought I was going to lose sleep losing to a Camaro!!

The owner was a super cool dude though. He explained to me that he did indeed have longtube headers and some other axelbacks. I can defintely see where the extra 5db comes from. I will say the LT's sounded pretty good though. I'm thinking in investing in some longtubes now hehehe. Congrats wherever you are dude.
