Car sounds great! You need to post a video again when you have the exhaust on.

Here ya go. I wish there was a way to get better audio quality, but I guess it is what it is. I really like the Flowmaster sound - especially once the cold-start process is over and the idle settles in a bit.

Yup - it's LOUD. I would NOT recommend the Flowmaster American Thunder system to anyone that uses their car as a daily driver, or has a wife and/or kids that ride with you on a regular basis (assuming you have conversations in the car). It's freakin' LOUD both inside and out. Personally, it was exactly what I wanted outta my Camaro, so I'm grinnin' ear-to-ear!

I hope you dont get bored. I love my cars to be loud, problem is my neighbors and best friends (cops) dont like it HAHA

Nice choice on the Flowmasters! I love mine. The stock exhaust was my first upgrade victim cause the day after I drove my car home I couldn't stand how quiet and girlie it sounded. Muscle car..Hello!?!? I didn't care about my neighbors' and cops' feelings being hurt when I was 16, so why start now? I don't understand that. Guess that means I'm not a people-person.

Lol

I felt the EXACT same way about the sound of my Camaro when I first bought her! I was thinking "man, she doesn't sound like she runs".

Besides, my neighbors next door on both sides are incredibly ignorant and inconsiderate. On one side, I have 3 smokers that stand outside their house and smoke so they don't get smoke inside THEIR house - but all that crap smoke drifts right into MY house!! On the other side, I have an idiot that has FOUR dogs - all of which crap right in his front yard, and believe me, the stench is unreal on some days - so bad, I sometimes hate working in my garage or can't work at all with the door open. It's my turn to affect THEIR lives now.

That's why I moved EAST...out of the city. Got three acres, wish I had more. "If your neighbors are within rifle-scope range, they're TOO CLOSE!" Just sayin..

Many thanks to Clint (who will be tuning my car on Friday) for his guidance and for enduring the numerous calls with questions!! I was actually under the car trying to guide the dipstick tube back in when I asked Louie to call you for me for help!!

Good luck in Vegas!!

Sam

That sounds great!!!! I think I know what I will be getting for my b - day in july

Well Sam's video pretty much answered my question on if you had a good cam I would like.

I LIKE IT! I WANT ONE!

Soon!

And the best part is, Clint tells me that this cam is emissions-legal. I believe him from the specs on the cam. It's got a pretty big lift, and more duration, but not so much duration that there's a whole lotta overlap that would kill the emissions on the car.

I kinda like that sound better than the SC ones.Do you still have the stock air cleaner or did you put on a CAI kit?
