Well it seems unanimous that the everybody thinks the SW Retro Chambered is the loudest, and that is what I'm going to go with. But I have 1 stupid question. What's an X-Pipe?

And what's the difference between the "Chambered Round" "Turbo Chambered" and "Turbo S-Tube" for muffler style?

The Camaro from factory comes with an H pipe which quiets the car down. To put it in simple words an X pipe = 2 pipes that make a shape of an X, (middle of car) they cross each other... Exhaust manifolds, the ur cats, then an X pipe, and then ur mufflers. (deppending on exhaust) Most catback exhausts come with X pipes but it all deppends ... Some have H or Y pipes and some are true duals. An X pipe will flow better and will prob be louder than the factory H pipe. Not sure if i made sence! Hope it helps

Muffler technology. The Turbo and S-Tube use a traditional style muffler like what is pictured below. The difference between the two is what is going on inside which makes the one more aggressive than the other.



The Retro Chambered on the other hand has no traditional "muffler". It utilizes chambered sections that at a quick glance could be mistaken for straight pipe. As you can see, there is a little more going on inside to give it that old school muscle car sound.

You will be fine with the cat back...if your neighbors like american muscle they wont mind it..... but once you do headers (with a chambered exhaust)..

I don't see you doing much driving without getting tickets and having neighbors hate you. You may seriously want to re-consider chambered exhaust with headers. The ATAK and Chambereds were designed (IMO) to go with stock manifolds.

Okay, can you please post the link to the Retro Chambered one then? Because I can't find it....

I haven't heard many different exhaust setups but I REALLY like my Corsa cat back with Kooks headers

camera quality isn't the greatest but you can definitely hear it plus it doesn't have any annoying drone while cruising, yet it's a straight through design. This video was before the blower.

The Flowmaster Outlaw Axle-Back is the loudest Camaro exhaust we offer and it's been very popular since its release just a short time ago.

We can't watch this too many times! Turn up the volume!
