Ive tried lookin under neath the car at the muffler, and dont see a flowmaster or a symbol of any brand on it. So im assuming it's the stock exhaust system.

I don't like the loudmouth all that much anymore, I used to like it when I was a little newer to F-bodys, but now I like something with a little more defined tone. The LM just kind of sounds like a quieter cutout, it has no definite sound like when you hear a borla, corsa, flowmaster, or magnaflow. All those are recognizable sounds. The LM is just very.... loud and gurgly/raw like somebody said 2 posts above.
If your gonna get an exhaust I vote for the GMMG. Little quieter than a loudmouth, not much, but yet a nice classic muscle sound that you would expect from a 60's car.

Heavy and quiet...but f-body exhaust flows fairly well for stock. Thats why cat-back exhaust systems typically don't gain huge amounts.

lol well im not really sure if my exhaust system is stock, i got the car used but like i said in my 1st post. I had a friend who had the exact same camaro but a darker color and same looking exhaust system and they both sounded similar to eachother.
I dont see a aftermarket logo on the system, it could be on the otherside that's facing up against the car. They sound good to me, i just happen to want better sounding and lookin ones.

Very first mod I did to my 94 was to get a flowmaster catback. The stock exhaust was so much quieter than my 83 z28 with dumped duals, even with the flowmaster it was still too quiet. Then I got a cutout. Well I replaced all that with a bullet using the flowmaster piping to get it over the axle and out back, now its nice at idle and almost as loud as the cutout at WOT, except you can still hear the stereo and the person next to you now.
