No gain, just sounds better and looks better,IMHO.

geaux_tigerss · 05-02-2012, 03:14 PM

This might be the single most common mod on this forum. People like it. It sounds good. There are reports of drone. I've heard it in person and I like it.

0 drone on my ls3 when I had muffler delete with x pipe

Best and cheapest (was under $100) mods I have done. No "gains" other than the sound and its awesome.

Muffler delete is a good way to go first to see if you like the loudness of it. Lots of options that are available to look at, lots of videos as well too.

Or are you looking for something that sounds a bit meaner like this?

You gain Weight savings. Each is exhaust is a bit less than 20 lbs...

I have that exact exhaust setup, wish I had a better mic for my cam because it sounds more like real life on that vid,

DuhKoDuh · 05-04-2012, 09:49 AM

heres mine..

BubbaSS · 05-05-2012, 12:19 AM

There are videos all over youtube and the internet of Camaros with straight pipes. I personally wouldn't go straight pipe, because I don't think any exhaust sounds very good when not tuned. I'm not one to assume that loud is better, I like a deep tone with a steady rumble which requires a good muffler. My second priority would be performance increase followed by volume.

300$ !!!!!????? WTF...Run away..quickly.

I paid for an Flowmaster TrueFlow-X pipe, Muffler Delete all welded up to include Tips for 195$. Parts/Material and Labor.

Kevman · 05-05-2012, 07:42 AM

I had my exhaust guy do mine, he talked me out of the Magnaflow kit, mentioned it's just aluminized pipe with fancy tips..

He put in stainless tubes, and welded the factory tips on, and staked them out a little bit, looks, and sounds mean as hell!

Bay Area SS · 05-05-2012, 07:59 PM

I just took my muffs off my car to change it up a bit, very loud. It sounds better at idle with the cam lopin. I think the tone with mufflers sounds a lil better though. Its gunna be fun for a change. My wife digs it lol.

Yeah. That does sound damn good. That's almost the perfect exhaust note for me. Maybe a little less rasp at high rpm, but that's probably just my super crappy phone speaker.
