Old school exhaust note

[aham23]

I liked the ARH sound the best. Corsa was close. Called both and ARH is at least a 2 week wait. Wife pulled the trigger on a Corsa sport. She wants sound but not "loud"

full exhaust or just axel backs with resonator?

Guys been putting resonated muffler bullets behind X or H pipe for better drone and rasp control. Most axlebacks with H/X pipe will be subject to excessive rasp or drone or both. So, it depends if you're willing to take chances on your exhaust build by allocating extra funds for redo/s if you're not satisfied. I know people going trough 5 catbacks before finding the right one. Toll .
If I'd be in your shoes, I'd do it either by building exhaust system backwards or start from LTHs and move towards back
Both have advantages and disadvantages.

#1 Axleback exhaust ($300+) your labor $0 or shop install $60, still you can move up front and do some additional work as your funds allow in case the sound isn't satisfying your ear drums
#2 LTHs at around $1000+ and labor $500-800

Pick your poison.

I agree although long tubes do give a higher pitched scream from this motor that is decidedly more modern than old school.

My CPe/LTH exhaust is as close as I think I would want to old-school on the new car. It is very deep and has a very nice bark. Here is a side by side with a LT/Corsa sport car and my MAK delete LTH exhaust:

I want to do headers but decided against it for now, plus I'm not in the mood for that job right now. The header install threads convinced me for now, lol. It's her car and we aren't racing it. It's a toy that I want make a bit better for her. Def getting a tune because the throttle lag suuuuuuxxxxxx.

Wow - I REALLY do not like the LT/Corsa, but that CPE/LTH will get your attention

cat back

They're in stock at American muscle and other forum vendors that offer great discounts. Got mine much cheaper than I could have gotten a Corsa, plus I wanted the h pipe rumble! Either way both of them are good exhausts.

yup, saved a few $$ from a dealer on here. Supposed to come today and we'll see how it sounds. she listened to a hundred sound clips from Youtube. I tried telling her that live is different. Should be fine.

We installed the Corsa Sport cat back exhaust. Sounds great and I would not consider it a loud exhaust at all. Like others have said it gets some sound the harder you push on the throttle. The wife is happy and I was happy that it took 30 mins to install (we have a lift). I will add that the new Camaro SS stock exhaust is prob the best sounding exhaust I have heard on a new car. Next step is a tune..........

i need a lift. or a friend with a lift.....

It's def nice. We used to have a few race cars and I got tired of laying on the floor putting a transmission in. Finally I got smart and bought a lift.

Mid muffler chambered setup is going to be as close as it gets to that sound on this motor. The problem is there isn't much room in the middle so you need a dual inlet dual outlet inline design. Rear muffler chambered design with an H-pipe will also get you close.

This is the way. I recently pulled out the H-Pipe and put in a dual in and out Flowmaster super 10 and it's very old school muscle sound. I came across this setup from @Leigh_bullitt who is also on this forum.
