Just another exhaust tone question 🙄 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Davids_LS3 · 06-11-2017, 03:10 PM

Hello everyone, I apologize for the same ol' question

but I have yet to find an answer to my question. I am currently running:
-CAI brand intake
-Speed engineering headers (no cats)
-Muffler delete

I used to love the sound and volume that this set up created but I recently witnessed an Aston Martin v8 take off from a red light and the noise it made was plain brutal and loud but refined. My exhaust sounds more like a metalic raw sound, and its just plain loud. The Aston's exhaust sound was almost as if the engine was using its exhaust system as an instrument to portray its power

and the exhaust would resonate to create the sound not like my exhaust where it just sounds like it amplifies the raw sound of the engine.

(I hope atleast someone on here has heard the way the Aston's exhaust sounds in person and if you are that person please chime in)

Although I know both engines are completely different and therefore the sounds wont ever be the same... can anyone recommend an exhaust that you feel comes close to what i described?

Thanks in advance.

You cant....two different cars. Engine characteristics are different......muffler placement.....exhaust tuning...etc.

Also the fact it has a muffler helps.

I found the magnaflow Mufflers sounded great behind headers and no cats.

Dude, what you heard was the British Accent Exhaust

Davids_LS3 · 06-11-2017, 08:35 PM

"British accent exhaust" lol!
I guess i'll have to just add a pair of mufflers to my set up. Might start with the stock suitcases that come with the camaro and go from there. Thank you guys for your input.

I have the exact same set up..
Speed Engineering headers, no cats with 3" Magnaflow cat-back exhaust. I ended up putting on a set of Magnaflow mufflers as this is my daily driver and it was just too loud in my neighborhood at 5:00am on a daily basis. I will say that I wish I had a few examples of different mufflers to choose from when I added these. For my taste they are a bit too quiet, I miss the gurgle with engine breaking/costing. I also think a bit of the harshness/raspyness got more muffled then I would have liked. At some point in the future I think I'll experiment with adding cats and deleting the mufflers (the set up I had before I added the headers) or at the very least look into different mufflers. Hope this helps.

That Aston Martin V8 has a different firing order, probably very similar to Audi with their 4.2L and the old Ford 4.6L. You can achieve similar with high flow cats and a quality muffler. I'm still shocked that nobody has used the Hooked Aerochamber on their ride. They have great flow characteristics, and the sound is a cross between Magnaflow and a Flowmaster 40 series Deltaflow.

How about you be the guineapig?

I've heard the Aston Martin deep mellow tone. I don't know if you will get that exact sound from your engine. I've listen to several exhaust systems, the only two close to that sound that I've personally heard would be the LG Super Pro muffler that has an awesome tone and the ARH pure thunder.

I've used the Aerochambers on quite a few rides and have never been disappointed with the sound or performance of them. If I wouldn't have gotten such a good deal on my Outlaws, I was actually going to put those on mine. As it were, I got a smoking deal on them and couldn't pass them up.

Try a resonated x-pipe from Magnaflow. This muffler does a great job of absorbing those high pitched raspy notes that you're talking about, as well as keeping drone away.

You will be surprised how good that sounds.

I will look into this, thank you!

And thank you guys for your input

I've always thought that Corsa, not Corsa sport but their other exhaust, sounds more European.
