Do you feel it? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Cant speak for the LS3 folks out there because I have an L99 but at a certain point in your drive, the RPMS are around 1300, you feel the exhaust reverberate throughout the car.....the effect gives you a rumbling from front to back. After I bought the car brand new, I never noticed it but after putting about 2k miles on it, I definately hear it all the time, and a few hundred miles later, it seems more pronounced.
Anyone else experience this?

I have fairly loud pipes on mine, I believe the exhaust rumbling the car Is what your referring to maybe, although I'm a stick and it does it at about 1000 in 6th gear when I'm "trying" to save gas, my efforts don't last long :P.

Mine does it even if I have the cruise on. RUMMMmmmble....RUMMmmmble. My pipes are stock but I often wonder what an upgrade would sound like. At this point, I really dont feel the need to do that.

One time I noticed my car was Rumbling awkward almost a rattle and It turned out to be loose change In the cup holder vibrating against each other. I don't know If there's any significance figured I'd try though!

Just curious...What you are describing...is it a good thing, or an annoyance?
I am going to be buying a Camaro SS in January, and would like to know if this is something I should be wary of, or embrace.

Sorry, for my ignorance. I use this site for most of my research into what car I want to get.

Mine Explodes at 2k...I have a maggie and magnaflow competition exhaust.

Sounds GREAT to me!

Don't apologize, it's a great question. When I owned my auto SS, I never experienced the AFM like so many complain about. I loved that car. Honestly, the rumble is awesome and should be expected in such a car.

After I put exhaust on mine, everything in the car vibrates. Spare change laying around the cup holders or side pockets makes this constant ringing or vibrating noise. Anything touching the buckles in the back seats makes a terrible sound.

At constant 2k RPM highway speeds, i guess i gave my passenger a tooth ache from the constant drone

Its pretty sweet

AngelSpeedFreak · 12-18-2011, 09:21 AM

If I have any change in my center console it vibrates so bad I have to take it out

love that.. lol

angie7 · 12-18-2011, 10:12 AM

DuhKoDuh · 12-18-2011, 11:31 AM

Yes and I like it!

Mine has an extremely annoying rumble that feels worse than a rumble strip on a highway going 34-37, 42-44. I figure it's something to do with the exhaust and it is definately not enjoyable.
