I suggest waiting to see how the LT headers effect your sound. Might be enough for you after they're installed.

Long tubes, no cats and a pair of dumped 10 series flowmasters will get you the closest to where I think you're trying to go.

If you want deep and don't care about drone, i would go with Flowmaster.

High Flow Cats will actually make the exhaust deeper and less raspy.

If deep is what you want, then add HF's to the list when you get LT's.

^^^ Like he said, add high flow cats and that will help with any Rasp.

Kooks long tube headers, no cats, Flowmaster Outlaw 3" catback and Night Fury Cam.

I would live HFC, but I'm going super charger, and don't want to risk melting the inside of the cats. So I want to stick to catless for now

Sounds like flow masters should work. Bring on the drone !!! Thanks for everyones input

If you want a deeper tone the only way is to Run Long tube headers. It is a huge difference from the lil oem manifolds. Start there and work to the back of the car.

I have SP LT's 1 7/8, hi flow cats with Flowmaster Outlaw. I get a lot of compliments on how the car sounds.

I love mine, and its very deep. Really really loud and deep dont usually coincide, you need to get it loud, then quiet it down at the back end to keep it low, rumbly, and without rasp.

HF cats help with rasp.

1 7/8" LT headers, HF Cats, STOCK L99 center resonator, SOLO axleback (gets rid of drone, but is basically straight pipes). Quad 4" tips.

Night Fury Cam. Very loud, but not too loud, can still have a normal conversation, etc. But when you get on it it screams. Not tooting my own horn, but I have not heard a system/car that I think sounds better.

I'm with the OP on this subject. It just seems hard to keep the rasp and funky noises out of the Camaro exhaust and it seems to get worse with LT headers. The video below is the sound I would love to get out my Camaro. Any suggestions on what could be done to replicate this??? The damn mustangs got us whooped in the exhaust note category. I'm amazed how deep and smooth and loud they can get without the rasp. Just listen to the first 20 seconds of this and the drive by. Pure bliss from an exhaust note...

Ive always thought Cobras had the best sounds, but I swear I like mine more than a cobra now, its held up side by side at car shows and the track. I honestly like it more than anything Ive heard on the road, and I am with you guys on a good clean sound. The post above yours has a video. Under load, cruising/WOT I have no rasp.

Going LTs, no cats, no mufflers sounds like a redneck truck (god awful)
