I think most here will agree that either Fiske, I-Forged Aeros, C5 Z06 wheels look the best. Fiske and I-Forged Aaeros will be the most expensive. C5 Z06 wheels can be found at on of our sponsors -------> (May I recomend TomZwheels for Z06 wheels) As for exhaust I personally like the gmmg chambered exhaust as my favirote. Others will say true duals, Corsa (also a favirote), Borla, etc.. Do a "search" for pictures of wheels, and for exhaust sounds go to www.ls1sounds.com and you can pick your favirote. Also do a "search" exhaust sound clips as they ,may yeild more specific results to your application. Hope this helps!! Welcome to the board!!!!!

Also try not to pay attention to much to "flamers", the message board is here to help people get ideas, information, advice, etc.. Just make an honest effort with the "SEARCH" button before starting a new thread on an already existing topic. <----This is my most helpful advice!!!!!!!

Look into the Boyd Coddington wheels. I have the smoothie's with 17X8 front and 17X10 rear with the nitto drag radial 315/35/17 in the rear.

Also Magnaflow is a great product with good quality at a good price.

Welcome!! I have some American Racing Torque Thrust 2's 17x9.5 front and 17x11 in back. Tires are nitto 555 275/40/17 front and 315/35/17 rear. As for exhaust I have GMMG catback.It uses 2 chambered mufflers,made out of stainless steel and sounds mean as Hell. Borla is also nice. I like it because you can adjust the sound and flow of the exhaust. Like RpSS4844 said check out Ls1sounds.com for sound clips of different brands of exhaust. Good Luck with your Camaro.
