Is any exhaust really that much quieter than another with LTs?
I need honest opinions. I have a Corsa with Stainless Works LTs and no cats. I also have a E-Force SC and my car is loud as hell and the wife hates it. I am trying to figure out if it is worth my money to try another exhaust or go back to stock manifolds.

If I do that I will have to get rid of LTs which I really don't want to do.

You can certainly change the cat-back system, it should help a little.
I would suggest trying something like a Borla Street system, or even a quiet Magnaflow system.... But like others said you are going to lose money somewhere a long the line because that Corsa was not cheap! But I would keep the LTs because of the power gains! If you need some help let me know... |

Money isn't the issue. I just want to get the right system. I had the Corsa before all the other stuff and it was fine on the stock car.

I'm not puting stock mufflers back on. If I do anything it will be stock exhaust manifolds and sell the LTs.

Dude, You have the best catback IMO. If you have the LS3 version, maybe Corsa will sell you the X pipe with the resonators they use on the L99. That will quiet it down a little. That has to be cheaper than a new catback.

I'd go to stock mufflers before I removed the longtubes... you are gaining much more power with the longtubes then the catback. The magnaflow is the quietest avail catback for the GTO and I would assume the same for the Camaro.

Which series on the Magnaflow? 2.5 in or 3 in? It is an L99. Like I said it sounded great before the LTs and Supercharger

magnaflow has both 2.5 and 3" system. They also have two setups, the competition and street. The street is quieter than the catback.
