My Resonator Project - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So like Scrming, I decided to do a muffler delete and replace it with high-flow resonators instead. We ended up reusing the original tips, and a single 45" elbow which we cut in half to get the spacing right. Throw in some custom hanger brackets, some welding, and we're done.

Total cost: $126, and about 90 minutes.

I hope you like. Sound is a little deeper than camera makes it sound.

Not bad, but almost sounds a little too high with the extra resonator.
Ever think about a true x-pipe and a regular delete?
Got any more pictures of the custom stripes?

I'll take some pictures tomorrow. It's a bit dark right now...

Sounds like one of those little 2 door Civics that go speeding by with their 5 inch exhaust tip bouncing around almost scraping the pavement.

To each his own i guess, not up my valley for sounds but if you like it, thats what matters.

Yea Not easy to make a V6 to sound good, I left mine alone for now!!!!!

scrming · 09-19-2009, 06:35 AM

Very cool!

Couple of things...

Definitely not the best location for the video... you are getting a lot of echo off all the buildings which doesn't help the sound...

You will find as the pipes "season" the sound will actually mellow out a bit and sound better!

And finally... listen with a good set of head phones! Sounds good!

I'll give you that- It's not nearly as high pitched at it came out to sound. I'll take some better video when I get back from vacation.

Biggest difference is that she breathes now. No hesitation. I like it.

tradosaurus · 09-19-2009, 03:40 PM

Too farty for me.

But to each his own.

LS/V6 · 09-19-2009, 04:53 PM

What brand Resonators did you use??

bigredbusa · 09-20-2009, 02:51 PM

Sounds like a civic!

BlaSSt Off · 09-20-2009, 03:12 PM

Umm.... IMHO I would put it back to stock. It sounds like a Honda, almost 4 cylinder-ish... Thats kinda an embarasment for a Camaro. Sorry. But hey, If you like it... roll with it.

scrming · 09-20-2009, 05:20 PM

So you guys REALLY think it sounds like this:

Just because it's doesn't sound like a V8 doesn't mean it can't sound good! I mean I've heard some gosh awful V8 in my day... The other thing is he made the video in probably one of the worst possible locations...

LS/V6 · 09-20-2009, 06:35 PM

Yea it sounds, no where near what a civic sounds like. If anything Its going to sound more like a Supra depending on the exhaust. It's not a bad exhaust.
