a vette exhaust probably wont fit under an fbody so getting a similar sound might be difficult.


but you reminded me of a badass sounding c5 i saw today. they do sound better.

If you drive a Camaro, then embrace the fact that it's a Camaro and make it the best Camaro it can be. Don't try to be a Corvette, that's just time, money, and effort wasted.

this is because c5's have true duals ANDD the mufflers are at the end of the exhaust, our's are further up and make it more deeper
