Truly an epic post and description as to the sounds involved in exhaust systems!...Good Job!!
Coming from the IT world, i would like to remind people who watch all these vid's on the Camaro's exhaust to note that 99% of consumer electronics are extremely sub-par on their ability to record lower frequencies with any reasonable clarity and accuracy. For example, if you look at even mid-range HD camcorders they have relativly small mic's, but go look at a standard definition TV camera (used by reporters and such) or a very high end standard def camcorder and the mic will be much larger.
So you may have a nice camcorder for vid's, but your sound reproduction is not where you think it is
All this adds up to the fact that most vids posted of the exhaust will lack a great deal of the bass reproduction.
Oddly enough, if you want to get a better sound clip, move the camera FURTHER away from the exhaust, which allows the bass frequencies to propagate more which allows for a more even recording level (as the higher frequencies dissipate faster then the lower frequencies) allowing the volume to be boosted a bit to compensate
