A buddy of mine had that on a 69 Camaro he dropped a built 427 Tri-Power in.

That car sounded like the end of the earth was coming

To meet legal requirements vehicle manufacturers have to use a standard drive-by noise acceleration test conforming to relatively easily specified procedures (gear, approach speed, etcetera). The "drive-by" in this instance is the microphone used to pick up the total noise volume generated by the car being tested. This testing picks up all noise generated by the car, so a supercharged car with an audible whine component must have a quieter exhaust to stay under the maximum allowable decibels in order to pass the test.

This federal requirement limits how loud any car manufacturer can make their performance models, so those types of cars are generally tuned for a deeper sound rather than a louder sound. This is one of the reasons that aftermarket exhausts are so popular. Once you purchase a car, you only have to worry about being ticketed for breaking your local sound level ordinances.

i see your in IL, do you also know that its the state law that any exhaust modification here is illegal? regardless of sound levels

Good luck!

what are return sensor tubes and where do you see them in your picture

Those are exhaust hangers, not sensor tubes. They support the mufflers.

I will probably be trying Flowmaster Super 44 series. I have them on my Chevelle, and I've heard them on some late model vehicles...very nice (classic) sound.

I dont know a lot about exhaust sytems but I do own a 2006 Muastang gt and they do sound good, could you not just drill 1 or several holes into the can of the resonator on the camaros to get a louder sound? and also they could always be plugged off at a later date if you dont like it.

had my 2ss L99 exhaust done yesterday.
We left the resonator and did Stainless mandrel bent back from there sized up to 4" at tip. Removed the Cans.

Now the car sounds like a Hot Rod; KnN drop in should be here soon.

toehead93 · 08-22-2009, 09:09 AM

SRFnSNO · 08-22-2009, 02:16 PM
