straight pipe
hey guys not sure if this is in the right section but i was wondering if anyone on here has done a muffler delete on their v6 camaro. I was wondering of to those of you that do. Do you guys take a power loss? I have been looking around and some people say you lose it and some people just think is in your mind. I've been looking to make my car sound louder for awhile but do not have the money for an exhaust. I went to an exhaust shop by my house and they said they can cut the straight pipe for my car for 75 dollars. But i wanted to know if anyone felt a loss in power and if you have do you think an cai could make up the loss?
thanks for the help in advance

Should run the same, just sound like crap. The mufflers are mostly for sound. Most of the back pressure tuning is up closer to the engine with the cats, crossover pipe ...
For a muffler to affect tq, it would have to be pretty restrictive. Which I don't believe any of the Camaro mufflers are. It's a pretty free flowing dual exhaust set up. It's not like a 500 ci Caddy choked down to a single muffler and tiny tailpipe. |

That bitch is gonna be LOUD. I have 1 7/8 longtubes/3" exhaust on my 2SS, and I can still hear my buddy's LLT when we cruise. It sounds mean, but a bit too loud, IMO. Even a tad much for my friend.

nothing short of an engine swap is going to make your v6 sound like a v8. I just deleted my mufflers a couple weeks ago and I am currently shopping exhausts. Sounds like the coolest civic on the road...

Just did mine as well. Mine's a 12 but pretty much the same thing.
It is LOUD. Almost too loud for my 25 mile drive back and forth to work. Part of me thinks it sounds like a tuner car and the other part hates the silent stock mufflers and loves it. I'm running downpipes out the back right now so I don't even have tips and the sound could be easily unbearable for some. I wish I had a small muffler to kill some of the drone and I'd be happy. Oh and you lose about 65lbs off your rear tires. |
