Best SS Exhaust for the money

A good exhaust shop should charge around 250 for the install for a total of around 450 for everything and no drone with the mid muffler, I also did the cat delete and still no drone.

Stock exhaust manifolds S/C'D and 555RWHP so this muffler does flow very well.

do you think i will gain any hp by removing mufflers/resonators/H pipe and replacing with x pipe and straight pipes?

It's louder at idle. Sounds GREAT! I am now used to it and want it louder. The cam should make it much louder.

Thats exactly what i have. Will be adding LTs and HF cats next and keeping the back as is.

This is what your car will sound like if you add LTs and complete exhaust.
I use to run straight pipes before I modded.
This is complete kooks head and exhaust system

I think no mufflers is louder than my XSPower LT headers, off road x pipe and catback set up.
If you want quiet and make power, get long tubes and throw some stock mufflers back on there. It will be really quiet and the stock mufflers don't really lose any power over no mufflers.

I hate the stock mufflers. I'll just put some LTs on and see what it sounds like. I it's too loud then I'll get magma flow mufflers. Should I keep the stock cats?

Many of the Hennessy Camaros use the stock mufflers. I questioned them they said they flow really well and I'd bet they run headers.

That suprises me. I added Solo J-Pipes last year for the sound plus I wanted to get rid of the ugly trash cans hanging from under my SS.

Jandaseve – Thanks for choosing Flowmaster mufflers for your Camaro! Do you have video of yours? It would be cool if you record video of your car before and after the LTs and HF cats so we can hear the difference those mods will make to the note.

A cutout... Any cutout will give you more gains over a catback. ANY CATBACK.

American Thunders on my Charger sounded great. From videos sounds great on the Camaro. As far as what I like best so far is straight up straight pipes on the Camaro.
