The big issue is that automatics basically keep the motor in that drone range. Stick shift cars allow you to choose what rpm range you run. Aome say “you can manually shift automatics”….. it’s not the same.
I'm like you. But I'm deeper into it money wise. I put Borla ATAK on my cammed 5th gen with longtubes and xpipe, and its unbearably loud. I've got a pair of Borla Touring on the way. Hopefully I can tolerate them. $1600 in mufflers and I'm still concearned it will be too loud to daily.
@@DylanLustick I installed the touring mufflers today. They are not quiet by any means but they are less obnoxious than the ATAKs. The lack of cats and a big cam is just loud in general.
Yeah man I wanted to go J Pipe but Solo Performance only makes a 2 1/2 inch system and I don’t really have an exhaust shop that I really trust around me that would be able to fab up a custom 3 inch exhaust for me. So for now the stocker will do.
Personally I would've gone with a Magnaflow setup to regally quiet down the cam. Then after add some cutouts to bring out that cam sound when I want it. I have a 2010 2ss ls3 with TSP headers and TSP stage 2 cam with flow master outlaws. My next goal is getting those magnaflow bullets to quiet down the cam. I live in cali. Unfortunately with camaros you have to really know how to set up the sound you want otherwise you'll end up spending $$$ trying to get the sound you want and swapping parts every few months. I envy Mustang owners for this. No matter what, its difficult to make a mustang gt sound bad. Maybe really raspy but at least they sound good. Camaros look better but mustangs sound amazing with just headers and sometimes a simple exhuast setup. I wish I added the cam when I first bought the car. Camaros need headers and a cam to really sound awesome.
id honestly recommend you find the biggest magnaflow mufflers you can get, stock mufflers flow like crap and theres so many chambers the exhaust gas has too flow through it will definitely choke up your motor trying to run tens
I’m more than likely going to install cutouts before the mufflers to remedy that problem, or just pull the exhaust completely off when it’s party time. We’ll see.
You need an actual tune for the headers. Just clearing the code with a handheld tuner really doesn’t do anything. Once you get an dyno tune or a professional street tune you’ll have your remote start back.
You need a tune for those headers. Either a local dyno tune or I personally would recommend trifecta tuning which is an email tune. Its better than nothing tbh.
Plenty of cars on the fast list running the stock catback. My car doesn’t make enough power to where I would have to consider the exhaust to be a restriction. As for the weight if I really wanted to I could just… take the exhaust off.
those mufflers won't add that much weight dude lol If anything they will give him better back pressure and increase torque. I remember I had to put my OEM mufflers back on my 2010 ss due to smog ( I live in commifornia) I have a TSP Stage 2. SO when I got the mufflers back on the car felt quicker from a dig and I could get up on it way faster. Also don't ask me how I passed smog with a cam... if you know you know ;)

I get it dude, those loud car days are behind me. Too much drone these days and I don’t even wanna drive it
Exactly!
sounds perfect how it was the ladys love it
Ladies love it but not mine 🤣. The straight pipe had to go my friend 😭.
Sounds awesome either way. Still hear the cam I just switched from straight pipes back to mufflers with my cammed Camaro. 👍
Oh yeah she still chops but now it doesn’t blow my ears off when I start er’ up! 🤣

Hopefully they work out for you man. I’m surprised cause I’ve heard some good things about the ATAK’s

I have a Corsa 3 inch cat back. And there is zero drone, sounds amazing, tame when you want it. Push the pedal and it’s a full on race car
I know I’ve heard great things about Corsa. Unfortunately, I’m what you would call a broke college student. So for now you’ve got me beat 🤣.
Corsa would make his car sound 10x louder than what he had originally.
J pipes will kill all the drone I have 3” x pipe no cats no mufflers with a built 427 heads cam.

@@DylanLustick yeah going custom 3” is the way to go the pre done kits like corsa,borla etc are just over priced

Look into corsa exhausts. They mitigate the droning significantly
I’ll look into it…. As soon as I’m
in the Corsa tax bracket 😭😢

How can you still remote start it? I’ve got only headers on mine and bought o2 extensions and I cleared the check engine light but comes right back

Losing HP and adding weight, gonna be a 12s car atp
