2002 Stock Camaro Z28 exhaust dilema

You'll be fine. I ran my car open cutout for months at a time and never even got a second look from cops (and the cops in my town are dicks), and I had headers/ORY at the time. If you get tired of the noise, or want to be able to turn the "loud" on and off from the drivers seat, you can always add an electronic cap later on as well. A 3" cutout is the size you want.

Trust me, if I could, I would be running with no cats all day everyday, but my car is my dd and it has to pass inspection. period. end of story. how do you guys get around inspection? it seems every other f body on ls1tech has no cats. I don't get it. Someone please enlighten me!

see, this is what I don't understand. correct me if im wrong, but running your car without cats is illegal right? and I would think when you go to get your car inspected, it would straight up fail without cats.

Im sorry i didnt realize you were stuck in that situation. I live in Florida, there is no such thing pretty much anything goes down here. Where i live cops are super laid back and you could look like a mosquito truck rolling down the road with smoke and crap coming out your tail pipes and no one but the guy behind you would ever care. Idk what guys are doing where you are. Good luck my man.
So yea, I cant do a no cat setup. I did get a cutout installed today. The sound is much better, but I do want something louder. I guess long tubes is the next thing to do right?

Fake cats for example:
Also you will need either a tune to turn off the rear 02 sensors, or some 02 simulators. Otherwise the check engine light will be on saying the cats are bad.

My 2000 had this on it when I bought it:
It wasn't to my liking, but it really wasn't THAT loud, nor obnoxious to anyone outside the car. It did drone inside the car if I had the top up, which I have like no tolerance for.
