For those looking to do something similar to this, I'll say that I basically made this same setup for my SS. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64964

Once I upgraded to LT headers and a Magnaflow 3" I sold the system to a guy with a V6 and he loved it.

I know there are a lot of shops that work on the SS and will basically give away the stock exhaust because they pile up in their shops. Go find one of those, take to a muffler shop, add the resonated x-pipe and a muffler delete. You'll then have a 2.5" setup for probably about $250.

Honestly I am quite shocked to be scrolling through this page to see my video :-D I am actually going to go ahead and get the rear cats deleted here in the next month or so... I appreciate the complements guys, and to the negative comments? I appreciate your opinion but as a car enthusiast I believe as long as the owner is happy that it doesnt matter what people have to say about it... However, I do like the positive comments :-D

I had to throw your video in there. People need to see that when worked on, a muffler delete can sound real good. I still think its the best sounding exhaust setup out there. If your getting the rear cats deleted, make sure to post a vid haha I probably wont have touched my exhaust by then as I have some aesthetic additions happening to the vehicle before I go to the exhaust.

So after I made the statement that I was gonna cut off the rear cats, I called my dealership. That WILL void my warranty. So, for now the setup I have will have to do =P only 27k miles on it.. warranty ends at 60k.. When thats done though, I have a HUGE list of things I want to do engine wise.. Monday I am taking it to a friends shop, so I intend on taking good pictures of the underbody and probably a walk down video so you can have something to show your muffler shop professional. Anyways, Thanks again!

Just cause you muffler delete a v6 doesnt make you anywhere near a ricer. do you even know what the term ricer even means?

people with v8s are so quick to trash anyone under them. yeah it may sound better on a v8 but a correctly done muffler delete on a v6 sound great for a v6 as well.

clearly he didnt just slap on a straight pipe and start to act like he's super fast and drives a race car.. then he'd be a ricer. He clearly took the time to make his car sound better. people here make me mad when they try to say anyone with a v4 or 6 that does exhaust mods or anything along that line is classified as a ricer from a v8.


dang today ive been ranting a lot.


i give a 7/10 for price and sound quality of what he was trying to do. x pipe and LT headers with the resonators still one accompanied by the muffler delete will sound pretty good

Just gonna throw this out there, After watching the video's at the start of this post it is honestly no wonder why people think a muffler delete sounds so bad. I think if some people actually thought out and researched upgrades and such, they would have a much better result. But, I'm not here to judge =P

Wow I didn't know that would void the warranty. I knew a tune would. Well I guess I won't be deleting those. Only got 14k on my baby and it
came with an extended warranty on the engine and body thrown in for free. When the warranty goes in a few years I will move onto a v8. So hopefully I like the 6th gen lol but back on topic, I'm still going with your setup!

[J_Vibe92]

its illegal to touch your cats thats why

[chicagobulls]

You cut your cats out, and have an engine problem....

put your cats back on lol.......No biggie.

The rear cat doesnt even have 02 sensors so you would not have a problem with this method.

Kind of like tuning your car. Put a tune on your car and for example your trans gives out, just put stock tune back on your car. This only works for the v6 though. SS has flash counter.

Rate the mod, I am being generous at 1/10. The only reason I gave it that was is sounds alright idling but I hate that farty/raspy sound the V6 get when you get on it.

Now for a muffler delete this actually sound real decent and I was surprised. It seems like all the clips I hear on muffler delete I just shake my head and can't believe that some people actually like that. Well, this one I actually like. That sounds pretty damn good NJCamaro21!
