Exhaust. If you have them... sh*t-can the stock mufflers.

I went with headers on my 14 SS. Exhaust does nothing but gives more sound, I will prob go back to my factory cat-back and run cut-outs for when I want more noise.

Get yourself a catch can and protect your engine. Then start on the performance upgrades.

Did I say otherwise? The stock trash cans sound like crap. A Camaro SS should sound like a traditional muscle car. A good aftermarket exhaust system give better sound.
