Trust me the drone and twang are unacceptable. Rumble and loud, fine, I can deal with that. Sitting in my car thinking I'm in the dentists chair......No!

removal
Any one just remove mufflers? looking to see if it becomes too loud.
to be honest, I have no idea. I know I want to do something to the exhaust, but Im a newb when it comes down to it.
I dont want that "drone" some people are talking about, but I do want the aggressive sounding car. Im assuming the electronic is the best of both worlds, but probably the most expensive.
MagnaFlow cat back if you are not going to do headers. ARH and stock muffs if you are.

I don't think you can have both... Great rumble and ZERO drone. You're going to have some no matter what you do.

well then; whats the cheapest, best sounding option?
Magnaflow... Also one of the only right now... lolwell then; whats the cheapest, best sounding option?
Cheapest would be to buy some muffs and have a shop weld them on but I wanted a bit more performance so I went the way of a full 2.5" system.
I may get some MF high flow cats when they start selling them.
Cheers,
Chris

they said the same thing about the LS1 Camaro. My Magnaflow fixed both, the drone, and a nice rumble.
Spend my money right the last time please.
Should have waited to see what everyone else did.
Jumped the gun and slapped on the first thing that was louder. Now I can't install the long tubes.
So, if you were going to do it right..best bang for the buck i guess. What would you do from the block to the back? Keeping the cat's for MD emmissions reasons.
Lay it on me.
