Void Warranty?
will having the mufflers removed/straight piped void the warranty?

But it also netted 16 horsepower on the dyno, so if you're looking for cheap horsepower with no regard to sound, this is a good way to do it. - X

I've been wondering how much the stock resonators have to do with messing up the sound of the V6. I mean, just listen to the exhaust of all the ones that people have done so far. The two things most of these systems have in common is that some sort of X pipe is added and the stock resonators are removed/replaced.
The Corsa system adds an X pipe and uses Corsa's resonators. The Borla Cat-back system adds an X pipe and removes the stock resonators. The MBRP system adds an X pipe and removes the stock resonators. The MRT (scrming's) system is basically double resonated with the stock resonators and a pair of AR25's. Suavecito1177's custom Magnaflow setup gets rid of the stock resonators but uses a single muffler with Magnaflow's Tru-X design (built-in X pipe). I'm thinking that maybe getting rid of the stock resonators and adding an X pipe will help out the sound of this car a lot.

The stock exhaust already comes with an H-Pipe. Not sure what the difference would be between an X and an H pipe though.

Both are good for performance and noise control but H-pipes tend to help with performance more than X-pipes. Excerpt from a really good article on exhaust systems: http://www.superchevy.com/technical/...exh/index.html Quote:

In general and in the v8 world x-pipes are regarded as being more high pitched and raspy than the h-pipe... check any of the car forums... they all seem to agree on that part at least... LOL
Not sure if that still applies to the V6 world but when we built a custom dual exhaust for my V6 Mustang Scott (MRT) built me an H-pipe... His take is the H sounds better...

I like the sound of H=pipes better.
So is anyone making them for the Camaro?

Not sure about the SS since I don't own one and really haven't followed those threads as much.
