Installed my cat back system this evening. MBRP 3" system. Not really loud as I'd like. I guess it's a start, headers and a cat delete would probably put it at a proper sound level. Has a a pretty good tone at low rpms, then the more you rev it the more the sound goes away. At redline it seems about as loud as it was stock.

I wouldn't worry about irritating any neighbors at the sound level it is now.

A friend of mine laughed at the Camaro front suspension after we got the car up in the air and looked at it closely. It is kinda minimalist looking I guess. 2 lower ball joints, weird. Actually the whole front cradle is just like there is nothing there..the rear cradle is nice and stout...where is all the weight in these cars?

The sound should get better as the car adjusts and the exhaust gets broken in..

yes and the truth be told there is not much difference in sound with high flow cats and without..... there is in unburnt gas smell though without cats and its supposedly illegal in all 50 to go without if so installed on the year of car, and headers will make it LOUD.....
