Sounds good! At first I didn't know it was a V6! Didn't have that raspy sound! Good setup!

Thanks csjcsj - Thats probably the greatest compliment you can get for a aftermarket exhaust. Make my V6 sound more like a V8 without the raspy sound was exactly what I wanted to achieve. Thanks. |

Thatswhy I spent a lot of time comparing all the different mufflers and ended up with medium tamed mufflers. I would never go any louder/ less tamed. BTW - Do you also have a soundclip of your setup? I like the headers/resonated-X-pipe combos. |

Hey guys, hopefully this isnt a dead thread as I am new to the forums. I just got my 2010 Camaro LT1 (I know not an RS or SS) but for the price I could not aruge (20k out the door-guy was filing for bankruptcy etc...) anywho..I have already done the CAI now I am looking to improve the sound and performance of the stock exhaust. I am looking for an affordable way to do it if there is such a thing. If someone could please give me any info, or tell me how much a similar setup to the one posted here ran. Thank you ahead of time for your help.

Birm,
Welcome to the forums!! The BBK long tube headers are what really give this setup some great low growl...not that you can't have a good sounding exhaust without headers. You certainly can!....I really enjoy mine and I don't have headers (maybe sometime in the future lol). But doing header isn't usually cheap either depending on what you get...the quality, shorties versus long tube,and other factors. I'm thinking this setup would run you around $900 to $1000 on parts alone, and so you'd still have installation to worry about. But if you just want to do exhaust for now, you can get away with something nice for roughly half that cost. If you want to do headers later on, make sure you do your research and be sure you think you'll enjoy the sound with headers. Shorty headers typically make any exhaust sound a bit better, but long tube headers can really make a crazy exhaust tone, so if you didn't want something really loud you'd need to be choosy on the exhaust you pair it with. If you haven't yet, check out the V6 exhaust sticky thread at the top of the V6 section. Good luck!

Thank you for the interest in my setup. The numerous requests I recieved via PMs confirmed me that I did everything right when I choosed my aftermarket componets. So the hours spent on investigation were definately worth it
![]() Now back to your questions. KMP is absolutely correct (as allways when it comes to exhaust quesstions ![]() Since you posted in this thread I guess you also want your setup to sound as deep as possible. So I realy suggest to get more muffled components like borla mufflers or at least "magnaflow mufflers WITH resonated X pipe". As for the costs. I think you can find the Borla axleback for about $700. I bought just the mufflers for $ 90 each and made the two pipes needed (from muffler to tip) by myself. So with my beautyfull double walled magnaflow tips and some 2.25" piping my exhaust cost about $300. I was lucky with the headers as well. Because they listed the wrong PNs in the JEGS-onlinestore I got the ceramic coated LTs for the price of the chrome ones. I ended up paying $679 instead of $799. So my exhaust cost me about 1 grand and some labor time. Definately worth it. |

True! I guess I was the first that combined the BBK LT with Borla ProXS and so were you with the BBK LT with ARK N2. Good choices! Big thanks to all the uploaders!
