You can always paint the factory mufflers black, they all but disappear under the car then.

Keep the factory exhaust, unless you get concerned about weight, then get a set of quiet mufflers.\

+1 on painting the mufflers black

Oldie but goodie...

DTH LT's with Stock Catback.

Forgive the video...prolly as old as Camaro5 itself. LOL

Always the most simple and cost effective way to make power and sound good doing it. Let us know when you're ready!

I did the same thing and was surprised just how good the stock catback actually sounds. Here's a before...



And after (including blacking out the mufflers)...



My mods included a cam but I think you can get an idea what it sounds like.

I am pleased with the stock mufflers, Dynatech long tubes, and hiflo cats. I have posted some crappy vids on here. So far, haven't blow out the stockers and have been on the track several times. Mine is lowered so I haven't bothered to pain them.
