My CHEAP V6 Camaro Sounds Like A V10 After INSTALLING The Hooker RACE Exhaust
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ย. 2024
- I bought my $4,000 2011 Chevy Camaro RS with failed timing chains. After replacing the timing chains on the 3.6L LLT V6 it was timing to start modding it. 128,000 miles in the car is getting some SS touches and the Hooker Blackheart Race exhaust.

Wellll, I just can't believe it. But I guess I gotta, I'm lookin at it. That's more stainless gear than a guys got in his house
We need a vice grip/watchjrgo collab....
Weird coincidence that I regularly watch both of y'all!
Nice for him to give you the shout on on using the old strappy strappy puller thing to "whiiiipppp" put that exhaust right in there.
I like them both!
Well I'll be dipped!
The next "2 Minute Mod" should be removing the dealer decal. God do I hate dealer decals
Thought the exact same thing. I've never left any dealer with one on a car. That's non-negotiable.
Bought a new car last year. The first thing I did was remove all dealership stickers and license plate frames, etc. If they want to have their ads all over my car they can pay me.
I consider it a form of vandalism. I've always had my car purchases state in writing "no dealership stickers". They wanna give me a licence plate frame? Sure, I can remove that easily. But a sticker is sacrilege.
I like Dealer stickers! when I see a rusted out heap I can always laugh about it coming from the Rust Belt Salted road zone (mostly couple hundred miles either side of I-80 )
You know it never bothered me until a boss brought it up about my current BMW.. I took it off and your right it looks so much better. My boss was like why do you want to advertise their business. They wouldn’t advertise yours lol good point
In case someone wanted to compare the exhaust sounds Before sound 7:18 After Exhaust 12:10
Kinda too raspy for stock maybe?
*DEFINITELY sounds like 1/2 of a V12. Very nice!!* 👍
Its almost like your camaro is the generic straight piped 350z but less rev hanging
Never heard a straight piped 350z sound this quiet.
I don’t know how anyone could not like John Ross, he’s always so positive and just wants to show everyone how to do the things that he knows best
i love these cheaper projects. they are so entertaining to watch, love the vids!
I do to. If you are looking for more channels that do the same I recommend Weird Beard
That's a $3k exhaust
"Cheaper"
I spent less on my last 4 cars combined than the cost of that exhaust. Mind you they ALL still run and drive well (cept one that a gal smashed into :( )
I linked the exhaust it was $900 🍻
@@WatchJRGo fine. Two of my last cars then :p
I almost threw my phone when he said it sounded like a V-10
Sounds like a V10 if it was the size of a Lawnmower.
Lol
>the key to working on rusted stuff.
bro that underside looks brand new.
Come to Michigan,USA and there's no place un-sealed that is "rust free".3 years and a Shock Absorber needs shop tools to remove,.Mostly a Torch.An 'Exhaust System' is usually 1 piece after a winter.
@@bryduhbikeguy I hear ya man, I'm in Manitoba, Canada. Not quite as bad here with the salt but vehicles definitely are ruined after 1 winter.
@@bryduhbikeguy Just as bad in PA and if it's a 4x4 after 10 years they are rusted out to the point they are ready for the junk yard. 2 wheel drives not as bad as not everyone drives them in the snow if they don't have too.
It’s hard to tell, but I filmed the section where he puts the engine cover back on. A pivotal moment in this video. Just wanted you all to know.
Ya, got a little worried. The cover is like +50hp
It's true, and it was a key moment 💯
@@fiffe7782 Yes, but we all know the *removing* the engine cover also provides +50hp, or all the car guys wouldn't do it.
You can alternately add and remove the engine cover for infinite horsepower, btw. But you have to be careful of creating a rip in the space-time continuum.
Funny thing is that engine cover is as grimy as it was at the beginning. Clean the damn thing.
Elliott Alvis : it was the Best part Elliott . Your hired tell JR .
Hey nice to see you watch Vice Grip Garage's channel. Derek is a hoot and the wife and I enjoy his content. Cheers.
Derek is the man to get dead cars running and then driving them home!
Definitely sounds way better! Amazing what they're doing with V-6 engines these days.
V6's Always sound better. It seems to be the firing order just makes for a good sound. Well done. Nice car.
I lucked into your awesome how to video. I just bought a 2011 Camaro SS 1ss that came factory without the gauge cluster. This video just showed me how easy of an install it will be for me to do it. You just saved me money. You just got a new subscriber.....Thanks
I think the PC term is “escort” race exhaust.
I think it's sex worker
If you have to ask why the hooker has all her teeth, she's probably a cop.
I was always partial to "Soiled Doves" for euphemisms.
Lol
No, the right term is "road side assistance" race exhaust
Well I'll be dipped ole JR just have shout out to a guy! Love me some Vice Grip Garage was shocked to see you borrow one of his tricks wasn't expecting that at all.
I’m not even a Chevy guy but I love the cheap Camaro content! Keep it coming!!
So the BIG question is....will it be profitable on resale? Looks/sounds great!
How AWESOME is the Car Ninja for allowing JR to use his shop/lifts/tools?
Was thinking the same thing:
1) Sponsoring WatchJRGo
2) JR is renting space
3) JR is helping around the shop
4) they are just really good friends, and Johnny has an extra lift.
Comment below. :)
Bullbutter 😮
I wanted to cry when you called those bolts "absolutely horrible" lmao the rust belt sucks
I know, those looked brand new to me.
@@daveh2612 same 🤣
Agreed. If the bolt comes out without breaking, anyone in the rust belt is overjoyed.
Checking in from Europe, I hear ya... Those bolts were mint.
Acme Do they cake the roads with salt over there too?
*Shout out to the car ninja and the use of his ramps and tools* 👌🏻🤣😂
A fella really appreciates a good VGG reference.
Cold snacks for everyone!
Jrgo has great content, and that's what we appreciates about him
Sick cobalt bro.
@@kirbyswarp Danke! Matt Farah did a one take on it.
Mallet="Tonya Harding" if you're gonna envoke VGG get the vocab correct.
JR probably doesn't know who Tonya was.
@@garys9694 It's not like we can let that reference skate past him, though.
@@andy-in-indy That's cool can't think of a comeback for the skate comment. LOL
I'll be dipped.
@@ViceGripGarage I feel honored!
I think that’s Hoovie’s M Coupe at 15:50. In his videos he always makes it a point to act like it’s not in his garage, now you JR? Lol
I wonder if it’s for car trek. Unless it’s Doug Demuro’s since it’s got the Nantucket vanity plate 🤔
4:35. Even comes with a burnt out backlight.
Had to rewind to see if I saw correctly...sure looks like It.
Yep noticed that also... on the volt gauge left side...
Glad John Ross is in on the bmw joke too 🤣
Its meme worthy at this point.
I did like the way it purred with the Hooker exhaust. Great upgrade. And the gauges were an absolute dream to install. That's one beautiful Camaro!
The king of single hand dismantling
That's what She said...
Still makes me nervous seeing him doing it
OK...I'm convinced. I didn't object to the exhaust note on the stock setup and was waiting for this to sound like a "fart can". Impressive!
Not hearing a V10, sounds like a 350Z with straight through system to me.
I like the sound of a nicely sorted V6. That one sounds pretty good to me.
By the way, your license plate has a lamp out.
> rusted car
> can still see the threads on the bolts
*cries in rustbelt*
must suck. i’m a florida guy, my car will maybe catch a tiny bit of rust from blowing sea air
I saw that and said out loud,... Get the F*** outta here. If the head of the bolts have not been down sized due to rust, ur not dealing with rust.
Yeah I bought a Saab that lived it's life in Ohio. Rebuilding the entire suspension was hell. Half the nuts were rusted round and everything was seized on.
Cries in England
@@kirbyswarp Yup.. Brakes, suspension and exhaust are just horrendous. Unless you are in a bind and have no other option, I would never buy a used car from the rust belt if you plan on keeping it. Use carfax. It's not perfect but you can weed out the likely nightmares.
Turned out nice. Sounds incredible and the gauge pack is a must have.
Another Stellar Episode from the One-Handed Auto-Tech.
Never thought I’d enjoy a v6 Camaro series keep it up jr!
One of the LED is dead on the battery cluster
Thought I was the only one. Thankfully it takes all but 2 minutes
He also has a license bulb out as well
Jon Ross, I appreciate the way you hold the camera to where we can see what you're doing. I know this means operating with one hand, but I appreciate it.
Australian P platers with these engines in their "fully sick sv6" would like to know your location
ughhh!! Hate the sound of the sound of these and the 3.8 with exhaust. All I hear from the traffic lights near me "Mmmmm....mamama.....mooooooo...mooooooooooooo....moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo......"
Hahah
You're not wrong mate. They all sound fuckin horrid.
Every car cruise, sound horrid. Makes an ecoshit sound good
@@jamesr5741 3.8 sounds better with an exhaust than an Alloytec.
I've been watching this #CheapCamaro series and have been impressed about how you brought this beauty back to life. One thing I've noticed, or actually haven't noticed you doing is the the mod on the PCV system. If you don't do it you're going to find your now pristine clean heads all gunked-up with sludge again within about 30-40k miles. The GM 3.6 High Feature V6 are notorious for their heads gunking-up, which constricts oil flow and contributes to the timing chain / VVT / oil consumption issues. It's actually a simple mod where you enlarge the 3 holes on the PCV hose to valve cover connector (it looks like an old school PCV valve on the valve cover). While you're at it you might want to add a quality catch can to further aid in reducing the oil consumption issue. Look it up there are many tutorials for the mod online. Best of luck!
Got your Tonya Harding out to get your exhaust in place? Ehh? Love vice grip garage.
I'd definitely STILL smash. You ever see that grainy video of her wedding night? LuLz
@Steve Miller Great- now I gotta' go sniff that ice....
Seat belt light is the passenger seat and sometimes the drivers seat scales they need calibrated or replaced depending on your money situation its cheaper most times to just replace them in the rural areas
Loving the camaro content. Great job
I really like the Camaro content. Gauge cluster looks better than it did stock. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.
“Those bolts look horrible.” Let me show you the state of my New England exhaust bolts.
Right try living in Michigan or Ontario the rust belt epicenter....
Cars have little rust, if any, around Wichita. It gets only a minimal amount of Salt in winter. Above I70 is Rusty, above I80 is insane rusty
Ok, so I ran across your video and see the BT on the plate. My plate has a SG on it so we're neighbors. And then you pull out a name-drop like my boy Derek at VGG? OK, I'm subbing. We're not into the same kind of stuff exactly but this series with the Camaro is in my wheelhouse. I'm into stuff like Derek does and off-road stuff.
To be fair, again, the Camaro series is the first videos of yours I've seen but I'll be checking you out. Thanks.
For some reason I thought you were going to putting a set of headers on this car.
I was but they were backordered for a month 😢
WatchJRGo will it still happen?
@@WatchJRGo Pretty sure the 3.6 has integrated single port exhaust. What constitutes a "header" for this engine? ( and of all of the mods I have seen for this engine nobody has done a "header")
@@edfrawley4356 yea that's for 2012 on up. the pre-lfx motor had an exhaust manifold for 3 pots each on each side of the motor. That's how GM pulled more HP out of the 2012+ 3.6 @ 323HP, this car 304 hp I think. I have a 2012, I love it. See my track vids on this car under my ID Tracktoys.
@Master Baiter sorry I was a little off, the 2011 and earlier LLT V6's were 312 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 278 pound-feet of torque at 5,200 rpm. The 2012+ V6 Camaros were rated at 323 horsepower at 6,800 rpm and 278 pound-feet of torque at 4,800 rpm. with the removal of the exhaust manifolds, changed MAF sensors and other components to boost HP.
This is your best project so far. Although, if the previous owner of the Camaro sees it he/she is gonna have a very bad day.
This is a really great project. I love the gauge addition. Personally, I don't feel the exhaust is worth the price. It just sounds marginally better than the factory one
New exhaust sounds great. BTW, Auto Auction Rebuilds mentioned you in his latest Coronet video, I had a bit of a laugh at that. 😁
That v6 sounds soo soooooo good I'm jealous brother.
My friend put dual exhaust on a v6 mustang. Sounded good but it was still a v6. He took it to a car show. Nothing beats the sound of a v8. Congrats on the new car!
I own 1993 Ford Sapphire GLX with uprated V6. Sounds frikken awesome. Couldn't match other V6 sounds.... It makes my knees weak....
@@matthewdutoit there's just something about a Camaro and a mustang. My friend tried to make his mustang sound and look like a GT. It was still a V6 mustang. A v6 Camaro with an ss package is still just a v6 Camaro. Sounds like a v10? I had a friend that had a v6 Fiero. He said it sounded like a Ferrari. I'm glad to hear your car makes you weak in the knees. Never really experienced that with a car. My other friend loved Nascar. He would get excited over a v8 with loud exhaust. There is just something about a large displacement engine. :)
Definitely. V6 is V6.
Lol shut out to Derek VGG love his videos too. I'll be dipped...... I don't know lol
John Ross i am loving the Camaro dude, I hope you decide to keep it as it is so Watch J.R Go man...Can't wait to see what the channel has coming up next? I wish you guys could put something out every day!
Awesome work! Hope you keep that one 😎 and I hope in more mods #ProCharger 😁
15:48 Finally a reference to the meme on "The Invisible Bimmer" from the "Dumbest Automotive Channel on TH-cam".
JohnRoss, the absolute madlad 😂
It is doug demuro car I’m guessing because of the custom plate
Good video. Happy to learn you fixed the Camaro at a much lower cost compared to the dealer repair estimate. Look forward to your next upgrade on the car.
Sounds like a Mitsubishi or jacked up Honda Civic.
Sounds like a lilbit louder than a honda ex
Nice to see some v6 love....
9:20 Do I hear a Karen yelling at the Car Ninja???🤔
Nice sound, but it doesn't sound like a V10. A six cylinder has more degrees of crankshaft rotation per cylinder firing than a V10; therefore the optimal cylinder bank angle on a V6 would be 60 degrees or 120 degrees, whereas a V10 would be 72 degrees or 144 degrees. So it can't sound like one no matter what exhaust you install. But I like it!
Chevrolet, Volvo, BMW, MINI. I wonder, of all these cars, do any of them take the place of an Amberghini?
Been wondering what happened to her ??
Seal Dogg pretty sure they parted ways, simple check of her insta shows she is with , or was with someone else.
@@CuddleClanYT yeah I don't fuck with any social media .. kinda figured tho since haven't seen her in a vid in quite a while .. thanks for clearing it up for me tho ...
@@CuddleClanYT What's her insta @ ?
You where right about the Oklahoma rumor. David Stanley (which is the dealership sticker on the rear bumper) is located in Midwest City OK
Get that man a tripod
New exhaust sounds so much better and not too obnoxious.
Is it wrong that I prefer the sound of a straight-piped 2-stroke Detroit Diesel over this?
Not at all, my brother.
Nah man I love a high reving 2 stroke too brotha....
I would Sure wear eye protection when working on exhaust under the car, didn't 1 time so took a trip to the Opthamologist for rust in my eye and a scratch on my cornea. Cost double the price of the new exhaust. Glad you weren't hurt.
14:41 it sounds nothing like a gallardo 😂 The first car i compared the sound to is a 350Z
All you need is some headers in a cam it'll sound way better I just installed headers on my RS Camaro a few months ago
Heat gun remove that dealer decal on the bumper. What am I, a free billboard for business?
I own 1993 Ford Sapphire GLX with uprated V6. The sounds are awesome. So addictive sound. Couldn't match other V6..... It makes my knees weak. The exhaust system is Doug Wallace exhaust system. Sounds great.
Still sounds like a V6. I wouldn’t have wasted the money
Sounds sort of like a ricer
@@pablopicaro7649 Agreed
He should have sold this car for a profit the minute the engine was fixed. I don’t know why he is wasting money ricing a V6 Camaro out.
Hypesoul uhh for content for the channel? Some people like the budget builds etc. He earns money off youtube, not by flipping these cars.
I agree sounds better but I wouldn’t do it
I have an '18 Camaro RS V6 and I put on a MRT exhaust(muffler delete)...VERY LOUD. My neighbors hate when I leave for work at 4:30am. I also installed a K&N Cold Air Intake. The car is able to breath and it lowered my 0-60 times. Stock Chevy says 5.1 (on a prepped track I assume), the fastest I ever had was 5.3 on the road. After the intake I was able to get it down to 5.0.
those wheels need to go. they make it look so stupid
STACKANE agreed
JR, the one handed mechanic
Sounds just like a V6 would. No way near V10 level.
Lol, check out my v8 on my channel :)
Adrian Rafael it’s ight kid don’t get cocky lol
Ok Dokey I’m not, I’m grateful 🙏🏻
If you’re excited that’s all that matters. I have a couple of mods that I wanted for my driving pleasure. Not to race, or make car alarms go off in a parking garage. Although that is a lot of fun!
Whatever happened to Ambergini?
Was thinking the same thing last episode lol
Who cares tbh, but pretty sure they broke up. Come for the content not a broad
Such a beauty and feminine, think they split in wintertime
Alex I "Such a beauty and feminine" tips fedora... Dude stop creeping.
They apparently broke up.
You need an amazon affiliates page to sell products you use. The car wizard has one. Consider getting one. All the different tools and products you have used fixing and modifying cars. Like the digital torque wrench and the makita impact drill. That drill looks like a necessary tool to work on cars.
"sounds like a V10"? Dude, no.
It shares no characteristics with a V10 other than the V shape...
Sounds like a V12 would have made more sense, but still, no. It sounds like a 350Z.
this was a good segment JR, like the gauge package upgrade, can never have enough gauges and the exhaust was a good touch also...this should make a great choice for someone wanting a Camaro and not needing all the HP and maybe someone who can grasp the need for routine maintenance unlike the previous owner of this car..I still can't wrap my head around that....lol
Need to upgrade you Logo ...don't see yo many motorcycles in your channel....ha
Best gauge upgrade ever!
All cars should come with oil pressure, fuel pressure and voltage gauges.
But then again, they make less money when your car lasts longer with proper maintenance.
This is why nobody likes V6 "muscle car" owners
Posers
Unless they act like what they have, there is no problem to having a v6 muscle car in general😃
@@jefftreseder4358 aww what's wrong did a supercharged v6 spank you?
Well done young fella, this was a good honest project, with a beginning and an ending.Made for interesting viewing.
You and Derrick should do some sort of collaboration. You two fix vastly different age ranges of cars. But watching Derrick work on an r8 would probably entertain the bajeezuz out of me
My RS had the gages from factory, as did most of the cars I looked at when buying. Never noticed they didn’t all have it.
Want to bet the M coupe at 15:50 that's oddly referred to as an "empty" parking space is John Ross making a snarky Hoovie reveal? Hehehe :D
Love the sound it puts out now! Such a nice car now! Need you here to help me with a couple of cars I have with issues!
Sounds pretty good. Much more throaty. I like how quick the gauge pack went in. Try doing that with a '69 Camaro!
I have the same exact car hoping to do the same exhaust system in a few days. Thanks for sharing😊 That actually looks like my 2010 Camaro. Mine is Silver also. Yours sound way better Lol😅
You've got to be world class now at doing work on the cars with just one hand ! Putting connector plugs on is hard enough with two hands sometimes.....
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO FIXING THE AIRBAG LIGHT. my SS has that light staying on and reminding me to service my airbags
The gauge cluster is a very nice improvement.
I constantly find it amazing what JR can do with one hand.
Damn, Ninja ain't sick of you yet? Johnny is a great guy.
As usual the best cars in the building are the mini coopers.
I love his shop! Is it always that clean, I would take my cars there based on cleanliness alone! Great videos.
Thanks love the gauge pack upgrade.
been watcing for a few years.. subscribed because of the VGG comment.
JR The Camaro is an awesome project car. A word of caution...when working under the vehicle always where eye protection. Take my word for it.
If you and a air intake it will sound even better just install into my camaro yesterday
i like the sound of the new exhaust. Am glad that it does not pop and backfire
