Is that with the GM high performance exhaust option? My 2LT doesn't sound like that, which is why I am springing for MRT 1.0

It does sound slightly different than the 12-13 LFX cars... To most that don't sit down and REAALLY listen to it, they would never know the diff. I haven't crawled under the car yet to see if anything has changed, but I think the change in sound has something to do with the resonated exhaust tips... It's possible that there have have been a slight change to the mufflers, or something in the axle back section to accommodate for the revised 2014 rear end make over, but I can't confirm or deny that. Just theories.

Yeah, mine sounds like that.
Since my bike is so loud I was thinking how much I like how quiet the Camaro is.
I remote started it real early one morning while standing on my deck and was surprised at how loud and good it sounded.

It sounds closer to stock than my car, and I have an intake and high flow cats but the stock catback... Honestly I say it sounds the same as the pre14.

Thumbs up

Mine used to sound the same way. It's a nice sound. But I went with Flow Master American Thunder. But I did like the stock exhaust also.

If I go with the MRT v2.0 on my 2014 1LT/RS, will I notice a big difference from it and the stock exhaust? I have really been thinking hard about it! It is either the exhaust or some stripes, so I am trying my best to make the right decision!

My 2014 1LT was a whisper compared to after I put on my MRT V2... I bought the CAI and exhaust combo to save money, and both made it sound 100x better!

Where did you pick up the combo from?

One example: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208127

I'm pretty sure Apex Speed does same thing.
