    Hey guys! I apologize in advance for the poor image quality in some of the shots. There's been several technical difficulties in the rendering and editing with the raw footage. I recommend watching this video on your mobile device. Thanks again!

    I have a 2010 2SS with BBK longtube headers, straight piped exhaust with 2 1/2 exhaust and x-pipe. It's honestly very quiet when cruising to the point where you hardly even hear it. It's only really loud at cold start and when you really get on it. There was a little drone when I first got the work done but then it died out after driving some. Mine is also sort of a daily driver and I highly recommend doing this if you have an SS. The car is waaaaay too quiet. I started just adding the headers which was still quiet. Then a muffler delete...same thing. Once I cut the res and added the x-pipe that's when it really woke it up.
    I'm in Illinois. I've had a modified Challenger V6, a Muffler deleted Challenger RT and now the Camaro (which is definitely the loudest) and I've never gotten any trouble from the law here and have been blessed enough to have neighbors that absolutely love my car. But then again, I don't obnoxiously rev or do dumb shit either. Lol

      Yeah man, the drone only happens at higher speeds. I'm honestly in the same predicament with my neighbors, the most action they'll get from me is the weekly cold starts and thats it hahah!

    I've been watching you for almost a year now and i love what you've done with the Camaro. Your videos are what made me finally go out and get 1 for myself. I bought a 2014 2ss/rs and it has been amazing 2 me. I've done a lot of modifications to mine except the exhaust so far.... looks like its time I change that lol. thanx for the excellent content bro!!

    We actually have the same setup minus the cats, I'm catless and Im thinking about switching up the setup because the exhaust note at low rpms is awkward on my build. Im thinking of going Corsa. Our cars sound the same haha but I'm A6 l99

    I purchased a 4 cylinder chevy malibu and it came from a previous owner who lived near the beach, so the exhaust was all rusted out, cats and all, so it was cheaper for me to put headers and straight pipe it, it sound good and is not real loud enough to piss people off, but it helps to have a good stereo that is loud too

    • @gvaspirated
      @gvaspirated  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video i been recently just watching your videos. Im not sure if you heard of them or not yet but you should consider looking into noweeds diverters. They are a little pricey but well worth the price. Its a duel valve cut outs and it will help with any of the cons you mentioned in the video basically. I think it's super cool and the best thing to be a sleeper at a red light and someone revs on me thinking my car is quieter than theirs then pushing the button to open them off right off of long tube headers and i will say it is stupid loud. It doesn't get anymore louder than that i want to say running literally just long tube headers open LOL 😎and the sound is great due to v8. I have a 2011 ss camaro myself
