Well in the V6 exhaust my coin goes into the Magnaflow system. For a V8 I vote for the FM 40 series. My wife has the MF on her Z and it does not even sound 1/2 as mean as my friends Z with the FM40 on it. As for the V6 department another friend has the FM40 and it sounds great at idle but HORRID going down the road.

Chaotic did you ever make a new video with better volume?
*Nevermind I just saw your video from the outside for the first time. Ive heard other v6 camaros that put the exhaust from a z28 on it and it always does that weird thing where it sounds like its only letting air out sometimes. When you rev it up it doesn't sound as messed up as other exhausts, but it doesn't sound smooth. Idk what it is, but dammit I've been debating getting a z28 exhaust as a temp setup for a while and I can't find a great example of one.

Thats what I will go with, if I decide not go custom true-duals. I'm going to get my car looked at this muffler shop later this week to get a quote.

No, I'm not getting it dumped. I used to have friend that had a Z28 with a true-dual system that got dumped before the axle, it was made by Texas Speed. The thing was loud, but kind of sounded like hell.

Are you saying that Borla or Magnaflow stainless is poor quality or made in China? Headers are off-topic in this thread...
I know for a fact that Borla is made in Tennessee.

My exhaust at an idle:

My exhaust revved up(it has a leak because I have a manifold bolt broken off) Oh and at 37 seconds into this video, I hit 5500rpms... As you notice in the background, it's quite a windy day.
