New SS : looking for a meaner deeper sound, no drone - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

DT dropped their catback? WTF?

Also, If you want a loud idle dont get a bullet style muffler, get a chambered, bullet style mufflers soak up alot of the idle tone. I havent had any problems with people telling me my idle is quiet like stock.

keep the stock cans and get you some high flow cats and crossover instead

I personally LOVE my borla s type axle backs. I have not gotten any drone at all and it sounds amazing!!!!!

I briefly had the Borla S type on my L99 A6 and it definitely had some drone at cruise speeds and produced the annoying AFM noises (this was before I had my car tuned).

Maybe on the LS3 M6 it has a different effect.

Now I run a Magnaflow Street catback with Kooks headers (geat combination with quiet cruise).

i havent had mine long... so i hope it stays like it is now... and i always have my radio on (but not loud).... so maybe thats why i havent had any drone.....idk. did you have the cat backs or axle backs? i have heard horror stories about the cat back system and the drone and afm noises.........

thank goodness i kept my stock system just in case the borlas get too loud and annoying..........

TRIPWIRE · 08-01-2012, 06:54 PM

get the corsa catback i have it with longtube headers and theres no drone at all and it sounds sick....

I was looking for the same thing. I now have it with kooks header, solo exhaust and HFcat.

yup bolra is known to drone. i had bolra touring axle back way back when i first got my camaro. it was my first time putting a exhaust on a car. didn't realize it droned until i put another system on.

i think people don't realize what a having no drone really means lol. the drone wasn't that bad to me, but its still there.

just so i wont make the mistake of getting the wrong sound can someone give a good defination of the differnt sounds. one for idle. one for like 40mph and one for 70+ speeds.

Sw retro chambered Catback + cats delete ... Amazing aggressive deep sound

ToddB · 08-03-2012, 08:22 AM

Corsa with ARH headers no drone at all. Only hear it when you want to

Bell040 · 08-03-2012, 08:48 AM

LT Headers with stock exhaust is probably the least drone with the best sound.

RADREVX · 08-06-2012, 08:43 AM

i like the idea of just doing hi flow cats. anyone else feel this would be a good idea? thanks to all for the replys. i guess if the factory cats are restricting, makes sense that hi flows would give a deeper sound.
