ARH Headers w/ MBRP catback

[CamaroSS8491]

Was wondering if anyone had a set up like this? This is what Im looking at for my first upgrade.

I have the factory GFX and MBRP seems to be the only company that has the rectangle tail pipes.

This is the first muscle car Ive had in 20 years (1st was an 81 Z-28...). Anyway alot has changed sense then and I havent really been keeping up with all the new mods that are available although Ive been doing alot of research.

Any comments are appreciated...

Thanks in advance for the help..

Edit....Just realized that this is in the general discussion thread and not the exaust thread...Mods feel free to move...My bad

If that combo is too loud for you I would check with MBRP and see if they will sell you just the tips. I thought I heard somewhere that they would.

If so you can have those added to any system you want.

Not looking for something obnoxiously loud....Dont want to wake the neighbors but something that sounds like its got some teeth.

From what i saw in the video link it didnt sound to bad....but we all know that clips sound nothing like the real thing. Which is wondering if anyone on here as that kind of set up....would also be curious about the drone as well...

LOL... Tks... was a lucky click...

To the OP... if you're not planning on Headers and just go catback you should be alright.
...add headers and this setup will probably wake the neighbors 3 blocks down. MBRP is one of the best for sure...

Do you know if there is any drone with this set up?

Some how I think that if I add headers its not going to matter what I put on its going to wake the neighbors...

Dont why Im worried about it....After all its a freaken muscle car....

Yes it definitely does drone, but I've only heard it with headers. Probably not too bad catback only. It is one of the best sounding systems for sure.

True about the headers... I have Corsa and it's a pretty loud blast when I first start up cold every morning at 5AM. But cruising around it's not bad at all.

I have this set-up in my car...ARC headers MBRP exhaust, yes there is drone from the exhaust, but not so bad since I changed out my gears out to 3.73..
You can buy just the exhaust tips from MBRP

Before the switched over to 3.73 gears how bad was the drone? Was it annoying when you were cruising? Could you hear the radio...ect?..

Also, I was thinking about changing over to 3.73 gears later on can you tell a difference in preformance from the stock gears?

I want to stay with MBRP catback I really like they way they sound not a 100% sure if Im going to do a header switch or not...

Thanks for all the input its been really helpfull...

LOL.....dude can we put money down that you'll end up with headers eventually?

If you even think it's a remote possibility it will probably happen.

Worst case scenario go with the MBRP. If you end up going with headers you can always sell your system a recover a chunk of the money. Then put that towards the next setup.

Nope, because I do want to get headers.....

Im just having a hard time trying to figure out the right system...There is so many out there, which is a good thing but makes the decision that much harder.

I would preferably like to keep eveything the same for obvious reasons....
