What should I expect... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

harmonicator · 08-13-2010, 11:52 AM

2010 SS with a CAI air box and muffler delete. Current exhaust also magnaflow tru-x in place of factory h-pipe. Currently sounds deep and throaty, not too loud, and a noticeable volume increase at WOT.

I am going to have a set of stainless steel LT ARH (1 7/8") installed. The system will have hi-flow cats, but will replace my X-pipe. No mufflers, only the hi-flows. Also going to have it dyno-tuned to optimize the intake and exhaust.

What should I expect in terms of sound and performance?

I understand SS has more of a "sharper" sound??? If it's too loud or raspy, what can I do to bring back the "bassy, rumbly sound". Also don't want to attract the wrong kind of attention.

Thanks fellas. I have no previous experience with ever putting headers on my car. I'm new to the high performance/power adding game, so your experience is helpful.

Better just go ahead and leave the mufflers on or add some becuse it is going to be loud. I know from my first exhaust system and it had mufflers and was to loud.

sound will be really loud with lt's and high flow cats, performanc wise, you should probably be looking around 415 rwhp after it is all said and done
