That's awesome! That's exactly what I wanted to hear! Thanks!!

Not the best audio but you can get an idea
Edit:This is the Flowmaster American Thunder system.

Hey how much performance boost are you getting from that ported throttle body and all your other mods like cold air intake?

That sounds good! That's an awesome video, I'm jealous of your driving skills. Good job.

Yeah I need a CAI too. I would like CAI or rotofab but if they're going to drag their feet they'll lose my money. They've had these cars since 2016 so I won't sit and wait for them. I understand the business side but sometimes business passes you by if you take your customer for granted.

I've had my car test fit for products from K&N and subsidiaries, and at the end of this month i'm having my car test fit by a company representing at least 3 more intakes from companies for the V6.

There's already a handful of intakes available for the V6. Soon there should be at least 3 more.

However, i've yet to see any that were 50 state legal. Just K&N's drop in.

But yea, even though it's the second half of 2017, companies are still just getting involved in the 2016 camaro. Can't really blame them though, the market they have available is tiny it seems.

True, I don't really blame them to be honest. I'm leaning GM right now just because the tune and the fact I know they won't complain about any warranty work. But that's good to know, thanks! I have a bit before I purchase so if there are more options soon I'd love to see it!

I've decided on the flowmaster American thunder. It was the first one I truly thought sounded amazing and I could spend years watching videos convincing myself otherwise. I took advice on My 5th gen and got the dynomax VT's and wasn't totally happy. The Borla sounds AWESOME but it's over $2-250 more than the flowmaster and I just don't want to drop $800. Ill keep this thread updated in the future with videos. In the meantime anyone with videos keep sharing away but it will hopefully help the future buyers when they see this thread!

I may wait for a Labor Day sale, I presume those happen for flowmaster.

Honestly, These cars are pretty close to maxed out from the factory. The main difference is sound, but I noticed a small increase in throttle response with the intake and TB. Maybe a little better pull in the high RPM range as well.

I think to maximize the results, a tune would be needed.

Where did you get a throttle body from?

Throttle body http://vmaxmotorsports.com/ Price was 150 + sending core back. I noticed a very noticeable increase in throttle response with CAI + throttle body.

It is not on the website so you'll have to call to order it.
