Where's the "This Thread Is Worthless Without A Sound Clip" smilie when you need it!

It's stuff like this that is going to make this Camaro the best of the best. No if's, ands, or buts.....

i dont think this is a worthless thread at all. I think the note is a very important part to the "feeling" of a car.

Perhaps the video recorder did not do a good job of picking up the exhaust sounds, but I was not overjoyed with the exhaust note on the Ring video. And perhaps the production version will sound different/better anyway, I'll just have to wait and see.

Shoot. I thought the sound of the Camaro at the ring was very impressive. That's what I want MY Camaro to sound like.

Something to keep in mind -- cannot go over 80 db in the noise drive-by test........and it isn't always the exhaust -- it can be tire treads that make too much noise........

The Camaro exhaust note heard in the Nürburgring video sounds a lot like a Corvette (i.e. good to my ears). If you want a bit more bite in your bark, there are always aftermarket solutions that will net you a little more hp to boot.

On my 89 Mustang and on my last truck, the 2000, I run straight pipes from the cat converters back an it gave both a nice rumble without the mufflers.

And given cost constraints I would imagine you won't be using any kind of "active" system either. A shame - I guess going after-market will be popular by many (including me.. I did with the Monaro!).

For me, my camaro will not have a stock sound for long

I plan to change it to make it much louder then stock!

neo2227 · 04-21-2008, 08:06 AM

For me and I mean just me. What I heard in the clips up until now to me sounds sloppy. That's just me. But I will be going for after market and I have always thought about that since I knew the camaro was coming out. I what my camaro to sound MEAN! Not loud and sloppy.

neo2227 · 04-21-2008, 08:07 AM

P.S. The camaro at Idle does sound nice as long as you dont mash the gas three or four times in a row. ( that is when it sounds sloppy. )

I, too, thought it sounded a little like a 'Vette; more-so than a 4th. Gen. for sure.

I've always planned on the aftermarket for more bite anyways, so I'm not concerned how it sounds stock. Admittedly - I think it sounds pretty good around the ring though.

Good job
