  • LT1 exhaust setup suggestions?

    Im getting a custom cat back (minus the cat) exhaust put on my camaro next week, but im not exactly sure what kind of setup/muffler that i want to use. I have factory manifolds and a factory y-pipe. Im looking for a LOUD, throaty, almost raspy sound. ANY SUGGESTIONS?!

        If you want raspy, get a Flowmaster and be done with it.

            i've been doing some research and i think i am gonna go with a flowmaster muffler.

            the only question is, what muffler should i go with? ive noticed that flowmaster has quite a selection to choose from...whats the difference?

              Please don't put a flowmaster 80 series on your car

                  well.... if you want LOUD, go with a SLP loudmouth. Not the throaty-est exhaust out there, but it's definitely loud and will give you that "rasp" you mentioned.

                  personally, I would not put a flowmaster on your setup

                  my best suggestion would be to start looking up exhaust clip videos on youtube with cars that are stock cam/heads/headers and see what you like

                    well i dont think this is quite what youre looking for, but ill post my setup anyway for comparisons sake. 3" true duals with h-pipe and flowmaster delta 40s dumped at the axle. It is very loud but its a very deep bassy loud. No rasp.

                      I had this same setup before I put headers on. no cat and flowmaster 3" I thought it sounded good.

                              i had aerochambers on my truck and i was very happy with them. They are a lil quieter than flowmaster though.
