I got muffler deletes and I can hear it kick in. It's really nothing... People who complain about it bewilder me.

I did not notice it much with the stock exhaust honestly. If you go with a more radical sounding aftermarket setup you will notice it!

You'll be crusing down the road doing 60mph and your car will sound like a Civic with a bad exhaust everytime you lightly get on and off the gas. A 400+hp Camaro SS should NEVER sound like that. AFM delete is absolutely necessary for anyone running a full exhaust (LT and Catback) on a Camaro SS. |

If the sound of the AFM, with aftermarket exhaust, doesn't bother you,you would love my mother-in-law.

Though I cant hear it while cruising I can hear/feel it kick in. I have no after market exhaust parts yet though. My first buy is high flow cats, I suspect it will be a touch more noticeable with those but likely a non issue. The real trick is the resonator, if you get rid of that, you will hear the 4-banger sounding exhaust.

It sounds awful. I have the Magnaflow 16580 exhaust system, and it sounds great until you hit the "sweet spot" and then it makes me sick. It sucks that I will have to void my powertrain warranty just to delete the AFM, but so be it.
Sure with I had gone with my initial instinct and went with the manualy tranny.

It sounds like a car with the wrong transmission...

 But, ya.......... You ain't getting it on audio recording. It's more of a 'feel AND sound', but you have to be driving to hear and feel it. And I guess I bewilder some too. It isn't a killer, but a reminder that you are driving a nannied down muscle car.
