Today I took the car on the highway and I noticed a slight drone at about 1700-1900 RPM.
Since I usually drive my Camaro on weekends and mostly do city driving I hadn't noticed this before. 1700-1900 is around 70 mph. It seams to be fine up to 67 and past 73 mph. Doesn't bother me or the wife I just crank up the XM Lol, but figured I should mention it thought.

Im having a hard time deciding between getting just the axle back or going for the cat back, the price difference is about $300. I want better/deeper sound, but id like more power and the cat prolly gives more since it opens up more of the exhaust with bigger pipes.

If you can afford the extra $$ the catback is the way to go. From what I've seen from personal experience and what I've read in the forum, to eliminate the V6 raspines completely you got to replace the resonator. In this, Magnaflow and Corsa do a pretty good job, but Magnaflow seems to have the deeper sound of the two.
I love driving with the windows down and the sunroof opened just to enjoy the sound I finally have the sound to back up the looks The other day I passed an SS and the driver looked king of puzzled, probably couldn't figure out why my V6 sounded better than his V8.

There was a LOT of testing with the 4.0L V6 Mustang which had 2.25" down pipes to a Y pipe which then goes to a single 2.5" pipe for a single exhaust. Dynos showed minimal gains going from the single 2.5" pipe to 2.5" dual exhaust... so moving from dual 2.25" to dual 2.5" would most likely show the same minimal gain...

So looking at the diagram... the H-pipe and resonators are replaced what appears to a 3rd muffler... I know it's not... but can't think of the proper name... but I think it definitely is going to quiet things down more than the resonators. I don't know about the mufflers but they appear to be chambered and guessing probably going to be on the quieter side... So like I've always said, exhaust sound preference is a very personal choice and if you like your system that's great! However, I think the real reason you have less rasp is because the exhaust is a less aggressive, quieter setup... best way I can describe it is "muffled"... Think we need to line up all the different systems at Camaro FEST.. record them all with the SAME camcorder and measure them with the db meter from the same distance...

Thats what I'd like to know, but just never probably will know. In that case, i ABSOLUTELY LOVE scrming's idea above about taking sound clips all from one source! Actually getting everyone to meet in one place and do it might be difficult to pull off, but it would make for the ultimate exhaust video comparison.

Oh, and one other thing about the power gains...I've noticed the guys getting the flowmaster exhaust are noticing noticable power increases. While that exhaust also seems to have a nice low tone at idle and low rpms, when under a load or reving it certainly does have rasp....hence I'm guessing its a more free flowing exhaust than these magnaflows....and thus explains the power gains.
I really like the idea of getting the gains that FM guys are talking about, but I think I'd rather have a good sound than bigger gains at this point. So my question is, have you noticed any differences in power or torque at all, or is it more of just a noise change?

Ones I get my Airaid installed I will do a dyno to see what I got going on at the rear wheels. For the record I regret posting those crappy videos, all it's done is confuse everyone. I wasn't going to do it but since I knew that it was going to be a while before I could do a better one, I post it anyway. Lets just pause on the video till I can get a better one.

Best mod! I will get a red 2SS RS replace the badge with RS so no one in my neighborhood will notice and pick up 100 more HP and be done with it.
