Exhaust Mod Idea- is it a dumb one? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Here's the deal-

After spending nearly a day listening to exhaust notes for cat- and axle-back mods to 5th gen Camaros with V6 engines, I'm fairly sure what I want.

The problem is, most makers haven't started issuing '2013' edition parts.

I did a little research- a lot of these parts are for 2010-2012 models. The engine is different between the 2010 and 2012, but the parts all still fit. The 2012 has the same engine as the 2013.

I even went so far as to check the part numbers for the mufflers on the 2012 and 2013. They're identical. If that's the case...

... would it be reasonable to put an axle back system on a 2013 V^ that was marketed for a 2012 V6? Does this have warranty implications?

Any equipment you add to your car has possible potential warranty implications. Regarding the parts, I would guess that you would be fine using a system designed for a 2012 V6.

Its an exhaust system unless you have a vert it will fit you can even put a v8 exhaust on your car and it will work just have to find the right shop to install it for you!

I appreciate the intelligence of the first reply-

... the last two are not helpful at all. Anything can be cut and welded and adapted, etc. Dur. I was going deeper than that. And you- popcorn boy... SUCK IT!

Take it easy! All he's saying is he's interested in the responses no need to start getting aggressive.

OP, I'm gonna save you a headache bro. An exhaust for and LFX equipped Camaro is an exhaust for an LFX equipped Camaro. If you're worried about warranty, you should leave your car stock [but seriously it's a freaking exhaust]. Gotta pay to play. Then you should learn some manners before posting a stupid question like this then attacking posters, all the while being in the wrong forum.
