Thanks for sharing. It was cool to see the cut-away of the stock muffler. The amount of dead space is staggering, but I don't see a big performance restiction with the valves open.

Good find. Thanks for sharing.

I have been a fan of this series, it's set to record on my DVR. I wasn't however aware that they were going to produce an episode on the Camaro. Definitely looking forward it. Episode 4 tonight. Camaro is episode 5, I imagine that it will be broadcast next week.

Thanks again for posting.

Nice! Thanks for posting.

Perfect entertainment on a stormy afternoon. After a Chevy 1-2 finish at Daytona.

Thanks for posting it was an interesting watch. Funny though how they almost made it sound like the Camaro was always made there.

I was hoping for some LT4 (Tonawanda) and ZL1 content. Perhaps a small Cadillac (shared assembly) honorable mention.

Good feedback from the assembly line and engineers.

Pretty cool video... The dealers should all be equipped with that microphone thing so they can find unwanted sounds at later dates

Lots of mistaken info from the narrator in that show actually. But still fun to watch.

The discussion on engine tolerances helped me understand the need for a 1500 mile break in on my LT1.
