The MRT systems sound great (from what I can hear through my computer) and I was on the fence about going that route but I decided that I didn't want to be part of the flock. I went SLP as opposed to the MRT system; they have a long history with the Camaro and I really didn't like what the 'M' in MRT stands for haha

With SOLO you can't tune the sound you can tune the frequencies and minimize drone. They come tuned for factory headers and if you are only getting the catback then you don't have to mess with it. If OTOH you are mating them to LT or shorty headers or HFC's then you have the option of adjusting the length of the J-Pipes to minimize drone.
The Borla is pretty tame but sounds decent and prolly has the nicest looking tips, MRT prolly sounds the best to most listeners but the Magnaflows do sound real nice and their polished tips look really good sticking out the V6 diffuser. There have been a couple of threads on here about reducing drone on the the MRT V2's so if you decide to go that route, and drone is an issue just look what others have done to minimize it. Good luck.

I know some bridges you could hang out under. Isn't there some Gen4 forum where you can talk about which gold chains go best with gen4 Camaros?

JoshBobGuptaMarley · 12-10-2011, 06:32 PM

You should consider Ark systems. I was looking for months and finally decided to go with Ark.

This site is for all camaros but mostly focuses on 5th gen. I know cars an exhaust. Just because I own a 4th gen camaro don't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. And whats this gold chains you speak of sir.

While I wholeheartedly endorse your choice lol, the OP seems to be looking in the axleback price range and seeking opinions for the 3 provided.

Knowing what I know now though, I'd sell a few things if I had to and get an ARK catback.

The OP is not asking for our opinions on whether or not V6's should be stock or modded. Just because you don't care for a V6 exhaust note, doesn't mean others don't love them. I dig the sound and currently, I'll take my exhaust note over most V8's any day. And JSYK I have a Chevy truck with CAI, JBA shorty's cat delete and Magnaflow exhaust. It sounds very good. It's just taste my friend. The OP is looking for help not patronization. That is all. Gold chains is in reference to the stereotype often associated with Gen3's and Gen4's. It was rude and I'm sorry. Cheers.

Thanks SIXJAK. You pretty much summed up everything I was going to say about V6s.

In the end I ended up ordering the MRT 2.0 from AutoAgenda. It's in my price range and I thought it sounded nice. I'm hoping the drone isn't as bad as people are making it out to be.

So consider me part of the

. When I told my wife what MRT stands for I think she almost told me not to get it

. We are not allowed to say that word in my house, my father in law is a GM mechanic.

Thanks everyone for their input. Even the gold chain wearing dude.

You should be happy with those. If the drone bothers you, there are several options but get them installed and let them season for a few hundred miles before you make any judgements. Chances are you love them as is. Lots here do.
