how do i tell if my exhaust is stock? i think it is though and i wanted to buy a catback. i want the exhaust to sound low and rumble like a real muslce car. any suggestions on brand/options?? i was thinkin about magna flow

 

What engine do you have? A V6 will never sound like a V8, regardless of exhaust system.

 

i have a 2000 camaro ss.ls1

 

Borla catback exhausts seem to be pretty popular these days. As well as Magnaflow and Flowmaster. But if you really want that muscle car tune, you got to get some headers for it too. It'll give you a nice horsepower increase and in some cases, better fuel mileage.

 

i was planning on replacing the entire exhaust eventually.are long headers worth it over shorties

 

I've never owned a pair of shorty headers. But from videos it's always seemed to me like the long tube headers are more popular and give a better sound, but that's my opinion. As far as I know, both are a good additons but the long tubes give a little more torque in the lower RPM bands. Any one care to add?

 

Long tube headers are definitely worth the money! In power increase and tone! I would suggest deleting the cats, getting a Borla XR-1 Muffler and having a local exhaust shop install it for you! That's what I did, except I installed it myself and will be letting a exhaust shop re-do it b/c it wasn't really a great job on my part. But I'll take a video of mine tomorrow and post it on youtube and post a link here!

 

that would be awesome. ive got a couple hundred bucks saved and i decided to get some headers not sure wich ones yet tho

 

My buddy is selling a set of spintech mufflers. I don't have them on a vehicle right now but you can youtube them and see if you like the sound from other peoples camaros and ill help you get in touch with him to buy them if you want them.

 

no thanks, i was looking at these
