Default Cams, headers, or Cat-backs?

Hey, I know this is a stupid question but what makes your car "rumble" when it is just idoling? I don't mean rattle or anything. Is it the cam or what? I got flowmasters on my car now but they're not very loud. Is it worth the extra money to get the GMMG or the Borla over the LM, Hooker, or Loudmouth? Or should I just go ahead and go for the true-duals? I just don't want to waste my money if it's not going to sound much different. And has anyone heard of Bassani exhaust systems? The Corsa is just too high pitched for me by the way. Any info or sound clips would help alot. Thanks again.

Well, my car rumbles at idle, but not nearly as loud as my old 93 Z. The Z had a flowmaster muffler and a cam. That thing was LOUD AS HELL at idle. It was also an lt1 though....for some reason I think they get louder easier <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . My t/a doesn't have a cam, and its not very loud at idle. So I would say if you want to rumble, get a cam and get the Loudmouth like I've got...made a helluva difference on a stock t/a <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

oh and the Z didn't have headers, and still had the cats, but it also had MANY other mods....
