I could use your expert opinions on how to finish my exhaust setup. Here's my current configuration:
OBX LT's (let's avoid the bashing here please)
Off-Road Mid-Pipes (no cats)
Stock LS3 Cat-Back
JRE Tune

Here are my goals:
Want cats to be emissions-legal and avoid exhaust smell my wife hates
Want cat-back/mids setup with no drone, deep tone without raspy sound, open/hollow classic muscle sound similar to old flowmaster 40 series but maybe with a modern twist

So far, I have considered the Doug Thorley cat-back, as that seems to be an affordable solution, but I'm not sure what to do with the mids. I'd prefer something I can bolt on myself over having to weld on generic cats.

Any suggestions are much appreciated, thanks!
OBX now has catted connection pipes all bolt on, no welding. I just installed a set with my new OBX headers, very little smell. I got them from Erik at Lashway motorsports, he is a forum sponsor.

I did a muffler delete and added a magnaflow 2 in 2 out muffler/x-pipe combo in place of the stock h-pipe, it sounds awesome! Not raspy and very muscle car. I might do a video tomorrow and post it on the thread I started about my OBX headers.

This is the closest I have to idle. I'll try and take an idle clip when I get home in a week.

Sounds great. Do you have LT headers on there too? If so, any drone?

Stock manifolds, solo hi-flows, magnaflow comp cat-back and a CAI Inc. intake are the only mods I have.

One thing I will say is that even i with high quality audio, videos never do the systems justice. Mine has a much deeper bass note that you cant hear in the videos. I absolutely love the sound of corsa.
what kind of V1 is that?

Hey guys, does anyone on here have any experience with the OBX cat back setup? Let's avoid the hating on OBX please. I'm interested in what they sound like, any drone, etc.

Thanks.

It's a pleasure, new camaro buyers will definately have foresight of what they want for their car before they buy it. An exhaust is a must for a V8 camaro if not for power, the sound.
