Default Loudest exhaust possible

I was wondering what you guys think is the loudest exhaust for a camaro. I'm looking into buying my first car but don't know much about what performance upgrades I should do. Thanks for all your imput. btw, it can be third or fourth gen exhaust.
If you have sound clips, please post them as I am into hearing it not just seeing it.

A SLP Loudmouth with an O/R Y-Pipe and Headers is pretty damn loud.

I'd imagine the loudest would be a dual cutout ypipe, or a cutout after an offroad ypipe.

open headers or dual cutouts. When you accelerate next to people the sound vibrates off their car and annoys the **** out of them. some people try to act like they can't hear me, but there is no way someone within a mile can't hear open headers, or at least feel them.

I agree with ^. Just makin it loud dont make it fast, just raspy & annoying. Sometimes too loud makes it sound like a P.O.S. Do some research first for sound & performance gains, not just makin a lot of noise. Thats kinda like a stock ricer puttin the loudest fart can he can find on his car just cause he thinks it sounds mean. Go to LS1sounds.com to listen to sound clips. Good luck with ur new car.

Open headers, period. The next step from there is a boom tube. But at least with a boom tube it will sound good. Just running open headers has alot of drawbacks. ZERO back pressure on the motor and on a street driven stock inched motor, you will LOOSE big TQ down low making it not even worth the time.

It will also fill the entire cabin of the car with exhuast. NOT good for taking a dateout. Any chance of getting *** goes right out the window when her eyes are burning during the entire date. You think its great.......but not her.

A really loud exhaust like open headers, LT's/offroad pipe/loudmouth will sound good when you first start your car. After that you will probably get sick of it real quick. Your ears will bleed, cops will hear you comming from 2 miles away and girls will hate it.

Go with dumped duals. Loud, powerfull throughout the RPM range, actually sounds good. Or should I say, it sounds GREAT!

Yup. People that see my car ooooooohhhhh and ahhhhhhhhh when they hear it. But they havent had to sit in it for 30 mintues at a stretch. You cant even carry on a conversation with someone in the car at high way speeds. And in races I have to use an intercom system just so my navigator and I can communicate.

After a 30-40 minute drive my ears will ring for the rest of the day. And a WOT blast through the gears is absolutely piercing.

EVERYONE knows you are coming. My wife can hear me if I am just leaning into the throttle about a mile from the house. I left my buddies place that lives out in a bit of farm country one time at about 2 am. He has some NICE windy roads, so I did a little "spirited" driving. He could hear me close to 3 1/2 miles away.

I think you are underestimating the loudness of these cars with a straight through muffler/header/x-pipe system.

Open headers sound good but you cant hear yourself think and it get annoying quick and also vibrates everything in the car. True duals dumped sounds bad *** and is loud as s@#?, The loudmouth with headers will also be very loud.
