Recommendation for Exhaust kit for my 2010 Camaro 2SS ?

[Samsiam]

Hi everyone, I just bought my new Camaro and I wanted a louder sound mainly when startup and idling and the dealer I purchased from recommended exhaust kit from GM #92225672. This kit gave it the better sound and supposebly it would improve overall performance and power. However, after leaving delearship and driving car home, I noticed a lot of feedback noise. Upon acceleration sound was great, but whenever I let off of gas and speed leveled out or I slowed down, no matter what speed, I would hear a sputtering- popping sound, almost like car was missing, but all the noises came from the exhaust - not the engine. I have not experienced any engine power loss, just flunctuations in sounds that will drive you crazy. Well..... I am having this kit took off and the original exhaust put back on.

Anyone experiencing same problem or do you recommend another exhaust that will mainly boost the sound and not cause any conflicts? Kit I had installed was $750 from GM.

Thanks. I just purchased

some exhaust kits have popping when u let off the accelerator but if you go with an aftermarket borla s-type is a sure winner with great sound and little drone!!!

It sounds like what you are hearing is "droan". This is common on the SS A6 with aftermarket exhaust. Before putting your exhaust back to stock, try insulating the complete rear trunk compartment. I hear that greatly reduces exhaust droan. That's what I'm doing with mine.
PS: Good color choice- If you have the sunroof- We have twins.

I think the most success in getting a good sounding exhaust on the L99 auto is to use some type of aftermarket programmer/tuning to disable the AFM 4 cyl mode. When it switches to 4 banger mode, performance exhaust systems will sound terrible. If there is a lot of decel popping, custom tuning can sometimes minimize that, some will just be the nature of the beast.

This is pretty accurate, and fortunately you can adjust this with tuning via aftermarket programmers such as diablosport and or custom dyno tunes.

Magnaflow exhausts are very nice, and actually I believe they manufacture the GM performance exhaust as well. Typically their touring (oval) muffler systems are minimal on drone, and provide nice sound with the throttle.

Check out sound bites from several different manufacturers to try and get a feel for the different models on the market. We have them on our webpage, which I can not directly link you to but it is in my sig. Fiddle your way down to three you like, and then pick from those.

I don't think he is refering to droan. I believe he is refering to that crappy sound that you hear with alot of exhausts. The popping,gurgling sound on deacceleration. That is why I am going with SLP Loudmouth IIs. I absolutly hate that popping sound so hopefully the SLPs wont be to bad. And congrats on the car!! I have a 1SS on order and I can't wait.

I hardly ever hear when AFM kicks in.

Samsiam,
We offer a fantastic exhaust for the LS3, called the Mach X. It is a completely NO DRONE kit, and offers an exotic muscle car tone. You can see our Mach X video here:

If you're interested or have any questions, please call me anytime at 516-655-9002.

I bought the borla s type one too at first it was quiet once it broke in it got louder and I like it alot. It does have some popping at times on deaccel only when i hit it hard then let off the throttle. It pops a couple of times but the popping sounds kinda of cool not to crappy sounding.

I went with the Magnaflow 3" catback Competition series. I like it a lot. Magnaflow makes a great product that makes good power. The popping on deceleration is very minimal and actually sounds good. I like the sound of this exhaust and that it's not too obnoxiously loud like some. I definitely like the loud rumble that some of the exhausts put out, but at the same time I don't want to be a cop magnet either or wake all the neighbors at odd hours. I chose the 3" because I will be installing a Magna Charger in the next few weeks and was told the 3" would be beneficial over the 2.5". Plus a friend of mine works at Magnaflow and got me a great deal so that definitely helped the decision making process.

Even the stock exaust pop's and crackles, it's normal.

Thanks guys, I had the factory exhaust put back on and car still makes the noises on deacceleration and at times even when maintaining certain speeds just not as loud as the exhaust kit brought to my attantion. I notice it more at slower speeds. Not sure what to do - keep the car, get better exhaust to elimanate this aggravating noise. That "droan" you call it - popping noise, gurgling sound like it is missing - is driving me crazy and I don't want to return my car as the dealer and I spoke of today, so if everyone is experiencing similiar noises it is probably just the car and I need a better after market exhaust that will probably clear it up. Again what exhaust should I get that you can actually tune?

Samsiam,, Am shopping for exhaust and have listened to 50 or more diff. sounds clips, and none will show the popping gurgling, or what people call drone, cause you see/hear them at idle or excellorating. I have a 1SS Auto with 600 miles on it. I have comunicated with ARH, love there LT's and all, but am searching for Axleback system, of all the clips the LM ll's don't rasp and sound good...but the drone NOT SURE

[Samsiam]

do you currently experience any sounds like my car is doing that I have described?
