Hey this is the setup I was think about doing. Can you update us about the sound and drone?

I have the JBA 1-7/8 LT's, off road mid pipes and cat back, it's loud as shit and drones like a mofo, so when in drone downshift!! Lol
No it's fine if you're driving with the windows down but it's not great for windows up highway drives if you wanna get the most mpg as possible and try to carry long conversations. It doesn't bother me but everyone is different. You're gonna like the sound though

I just finished installing this exact JBA setup yesterday. The drone I have is during mild acceleration from 2nd thru 4th. But once I let off the gas and hit a stable speed in 5th or 6th, it's not bad.

Loud. Yeah, a little. Now I'm 53 years old and told the wife yesterday that I might be getting old since I thought it was a little loud.

But that damn H-pipe setup sounds almost exactly like my first car and engine project, the '68 shown in my signature below. And that was when I was 16 in 1976. I didn't care how loud it was back then.

True muscle car sound and not that "ricer" sound I hear coming out of some of these Camaro's.

I have the JBA exhaust with kooks LT and ya alil drone but nothing that bothers me, I like the loud sound and idle is great! when I rev it or get my rpm's up alil small rapsy but aggressive sound and I love it! but when I had just the exhaust there was no problem either

J-Tubes will help the drone.

I've been driving mine around for several days now and still no codes thrown? I was under the assumption that with this setup it'd be throwing some O2 codes?

Well needless to say the ball and chain told me it was too loud, I put sound deadener in the trunk and it really helped.

So did I ,but she don't like riding back there.
