Just purchased today ARH 1 7/8 Ceramic LT'S/Cats to go with Flowmaster AT Catback System Can't wait to get it installed and tuned.
Can always just change the mufflers out if going FI.

I have flowmaster AT axle-back with C.A. Induction intake , the sound is awesome. the stock resonator help to cancel bad frequencies.

I have had the Flowmaster system for over a year and I love he sound ... the drone dont bother me (I grew up around old school muscle cars and race cars)...and its music to my ears. If I was to go FI, which I doubt seeing soon, I would get different flowmaster mufflers put on to the existing system like the 1 chambers.

As for now, the Flowmaster AMT system is a affordable 3 inch exhaust with a good sound, even with headers. Especially if you are on a budget

I can't speak for the AT setup, but if you go with their pro series mufflers, you won't regret it. =)

There is no drone with the pro series, and some people say that AT drones with longtubes. I haven't heard the AT axleback only so I don't know about it.

Do you plan on going with longtubes or just doing the cat-back/axle-back exhaust?

I am not a fan of 3" systems unless needed on these cars. They are a little drony.

I talked to Chris at 2Edge Performance and he recommended a Flowmaster American Thunder cat back. $1000 for parts/labor.

Is this a fair price?

Do I need cat back or would axle back give me the same sound? What is the benefit of getting cat back?

I'm looking for recommendations from all you experts!!

Thank you for your help!

Hi Everyone – just wanted to make a few points of clarification here.

2SSforSS – you will be very happy with our system. We know Rick Andrade and the crew at 2Edge well, and they are very sharp with a great handle on modern Camaro performance. Our 5th Gen systems make great power over stock, sound killer, use all stainless construction and are backed by a lifetime warranty.

As for Camaro_h, we’re sorry that you haven’t had a great experience but its time to clarify things a little bit. You were using a V8 system on a V6 car despite the fact that our customer service team and the instructions in the kit clearly state that the V8 kit is not designed for the application you were using it for. We know you’re on the other side of the world, so we’re not sure what your mechanic did when he installed the system, but any leaks or problems you are having are very likely the result of using the wrong parts on the wrong application. That system was also tuned for power and sound for a V8. We logged hundreds of hours in R&D testing 1SS and 2SS cars on the dyno and the street to make sure they work great... on the car they were designed for.

We have sold thousands of V8 cat-back kits and have thousands of happy customers… and we feel that you’ll be happy too 2SS.

Yes (AMF is on)..I still have yet to hear it..or it is not that noticeable on my vehicle...I did own a V6 camaro with flowmaster's..besides the V8 being louder and more aggressive...the cabin noise is the same..

So how bad is the Drone on a LS3 with the Flowmaster A/T Catback?? Don't mean to hijack or anything, Just curious.

Right around 75MPH it is VERY noticeable.

Flash...finally hearing the AMF..installed an xpipe on my exhaust system the other day..it quieted the cabin down so much that I can clearly hear the AMF kick on and off now...while annoying..it is not annoying enough to void my warranty..
