Would you delete mufflers on a Z06? They are around the same price now. Its called tasteful modding. Not trying to bash anyone but it is cheap.
Are we still trying to push this line of thought on people? A) A camaro, while nice and all, is not some exotic car that is exclusive and in limited production. And B) yes maybe a muffler delete is "cheap" but what about your exhaust system? $150 for your set up is a little on the low, or should I say "cheap", end of the exhaust spectra right? Why not pour in some more money and do it right and get something a little more pricey? There's holes all in this line of thinking and I wish people would just quit. And you answer your question: no I wouldn't cut the mufflers off a ZO6, but I also wound't spend my whole paycheck on a exhaust system just because its an expensive car. Its all a matter of personal preference and priority. For me, I hated how damn quiet the stock SS sounded. So I chopped off the mufflers to make it louder. It was inexpensive and I like how it sounds.

So next time anyone wants to use this guy's logic, ask yourself how 'expensive is my car' and "could I have spent more money on a different setup than what I gave now?" Its just a backwards or even hypocritical line of thought imo.


To the OP. There are a lot of options out there for a good sounding exhaust. It just depends on what you want and how much you want to spend. There is a thread on here that is stickyed that has youtube videos of different exhaust setups. Browse that and make a list and then go online and look up the pricing options.
