Mufflers Stick out like a Sore Thumb! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have not received my Camaro yet, but looking at the pictures, I have noticed that the silver mufflers stick out below the black plastic surrounding the tail pipes. Is there any specific spray paint that I should use to paint these black? I feel like regular black spray paint will chip off under high heat...

I saw a SIM one in the desert... we were behind it for like 15 mins and the mufflers look horrible! I will be painting mine or just get a different exaust system

...or just take them off...sounds great! Then you get to look at that IRS!

I think he means to install longpipes not just leave the holes down there. That would suck.

Carbon Monoxide in cabin is bad.

Yeah, yeah...cut the stockers off and install straight pipes with the same tips or get new ones...your choice!

That thing has 4 cats, 2 resonators and 2 mufflers!!

They do not stick out past the ground effect package............. CHanging exhaust out anyways......

New exhaust on it's way...car will arrive about the same time. Should take care of the visual issue.

Unfair · 06-24-2009, 06:59 AM

yea that stock exhaust is pretty ugly i would paint it black too and i rather have the stock exhaust than the ricer square 9 inch tips on that ground effects package lol

For those of you who are removing the mufflers, what exhaust system are you putting on. I am new to the modification process but would love to lose the beasts they put on and still pass my emmissions test.
