What exhaust do you have and do you like it?

[Sales@Phastek]

Hey Guys, Jason here with Phastek.

I wanted to get a fresh perspective on the exhaust you have and how you feel about it. On our store we offer a wide range of exhaust for the Camaro. The thing is, we know what we like, but we dont get enough information back from our customers on what they don't like or even if they like the exhaust they have. Grant it, we do get reviews on the exhaust product pages but not enough to really know. We also find that we carry some top shelf exhaust brands that most people flock to which is understandable, but what about those brands that are not top shelf that most people do not know about. Anyways, what I am getting to here is, I want to create a page for our website to help customers with their choice of exhaust. Now there are factors that play into this, like do you have a Camaro that only has the exhaust, do you have headers, a cam, etc. I know there are some exhaust that sound great as a direct bolt on, which that's how aftermarket exhaust are designed, but when you add other things like headers, cam that can change how you feel about the exhaust. So if you have time please respond with the exhaust you have. I think this will help people that are looking to get an exhaust for their Camaro.

Here are some Bullet Points to go off of

• Submodel (V6, SS, ZL1) -
• Brand of Exhaust -
• Type (Axle or Cat Back) -
• Pros -
• Cons -
• Do you like it or not -

NOTE: I know I am putting this in the General Discussions because I would like to hear from V6, SS, ZL1 owners.

Thanks Everyone!

Jason here,

Since I started the thread I could at least give my opinion since I own a 2010 Camaro SS. So here goes.

I am going to review 2 different exhaust since that is what I have personally had on my Camaro.

First Exhaust

• Submodel (V6, SS, ZL1) - SS
• Brand of Exhaust - Thermal R&D
• Type (Axle or Cat Back) - Catback
• Pros - Very Nicely Built, Tips looked cool with the tig welded edge
• Cons - Too quiet and the tips were cut on the side which looked weird to me
• Do you like it or not - I did not like it. I wanted something louder. I did not run it with headers or cam. With a header and cam combination it would have been perfect for the person that does not want a overly loud exhaust.

Current Exhaust

• Submodel (V6, SS, ZL1) - SS
• Brand of Exhaust - Solo Performance Cyclone
• Type (Axle or Cat Back) - Catback
• Pros - Built well, Sounds Great. Able to adjust J-Pipes for drone, Tips fit and look good in the rear diffuser
• Cons - I didnt have any
• Do you like it or not - I really like it. I had this exhaust with all combinations, Stock, Headers, and Cam. I am currently running it with the Stainless Power headers with Cats and Comp LST Cam. It is loud for sure, and with the cam lope it sounds great. To me it is not overly loud where it is killing me while driving. It does get the decel pop, I do have a manual Camaro so I get it alot which I love.

Well here goes;

Submodel (V6, SS, ZL1) - 2013 2SS RS Auto L99
Brand of Exhaust -Borla Atak
Type (Axle or Cat Back) - Cat Back
Pros -Great quality and fit, just wanted something a bit louder but not crazy.
Keeping car mostly stock if fit my needs, does sound real good when you get on it, not real loud at idle
Cons - Used clamps provided, but leaked a little, had full setup welded, problem solved
Do you like it or not - Yeah overall all is great, a bit pricy though I thought.

[SS_CTS-V]

Submodel (V6, SS, ZL1) - SS
Brand of Exhaust - NPP + NOWEEDS
Type (Axle or Cat Back) - Cat Back
Pros - Easy to adjust sound from stealth, mild, to loud AF
Cons - Cutting and wiring for NOWEEDS is more complex than a bolt on exhaust
Do you like it or not - LOVE it combined with long tubes, high flow cats. I added a 3-way switch to the NPP so I can force it closed in the neighborhood.

You didn't specify aftermarket.

V6 2LS.
Pros, factory stock and stainless, fairly quiet, no resonance, well built and great for cruising.
Most aftermarket is the opposite of the that. A tiny 217ci V6 will see very little to no benefit of a better exhaust anyhow and the tradeoffs will suck.

Cons, carbon tracking on mufflers ticks me off.
Love it.

[ZL1_Chris]

Submodel (V6, SS, ZL1) -2015 ZL1- Cam, TSP 1 7/8" LT
Brand of Exhaust -Full custom 3" Flow Master Muffler and X Pipe
Type (Axle or Cat Back) - Offroad
Pros - What not to like about it
Cons - Its not stainless but im not under there looking so really doesnt matter
Do you like it or not - LOVE IT!!! get complements daily on the sound, at stoplights people comment on how good it sounds.

A bit of a curve ball but I figured a data point is a data point

• Submodel (V6, SS, ZL1) - SS
• Brand of Exhaust - stock l99 exhaust with 1le mufflers and Jerry rigged npp system
• Type (Axle or Cat Back) - axle back
• Pros - the resonanator under the car makes cool pops right under you when you start the car, can be quiet or load when you need it, quad tips just look right on this car
• Cons - as of two days ago (when the heat started) something broken in my homemade Chinese electronics system, cutouts don't work with remote start because I couldn't find a hot wire, install is also not easy
• Do you like it or not - yes absolutely, our state has laws against modifying exhaust (even though no one gets in trouble over it) and since they are technically factory ones I have a case, plus I hate those remote controlled cutout systems, I like having a physical button to install, plus like I mentioned the quad tips is just so cool to see on this car.

[Blue 13]

Submodel (V6, SS, ZL1) - SS
Brand of Exhaust - Borla ATAK
Type (Axle or Cat Back) - Cat Back
Pros - great sound and high quality
Cons - cost, but you get what you pay for
Do you like it or not - LOVE it combined with nice lopey cam sounds bad a$$


Edit - I have a Whipple 2.9L supercharger, very aggressive cam, American Racing long tube headers (ceramic coated), Kooks green cats, & MBRP rectangular tips.

[CamaroDreams76]

Submodel (V6, SS, ZL1) - SS
Brand of Exhaust - Stainless works headers, no cats, NPP (forza 3 way controller)
Type (Axle or Cat Back) - headers to stock
Pros - quietish to loud
Cons - none
Do you like it or not - i like it even better since I added a cam

[Moto-Mojo]

I have a basic muffler delete. I love the sound but a "custom muffler shop" (not) just welded in some decent, fitted straight pipes but I'd like a Borla axle back or ...whatever you might suggest!

[Camaro2ss2010]

Submodel (V6, SS, ZL1) - SS
Brand of Exhaust - Corsa Extreme
Type (Axle or Cat Back) - Cat Back
Pros - very loud at WOT and tame when at cruising speeds. Also there is zero drone.
Cons - I don’t have any
Do you like it or not - Yes, should’ve installed one way before I did.

Just a little side note I am also cammed and supercharged with long tube headers so that probably make a little difference.

[ykeeta]

Submodel (V6, SS, ZL1) - SS
Brand of Exhaust - Borla type S
Type (Axle or Cat Back) - Cat Back
Pros - Great sound, less raspy vs ATAK
Cons - Drone
Do you like it or not - Hated the drone until I reached out to Solo and added J-pipes. Also note: Aggressive Cam, Kooks Headers and high flow cats. Personally I love the sound now. Met someone at a Camaro club with a Magnaflow exhaust. It had a bit deeper sound and the only one that I liked better than my own.
