Exhaust help I own a 99 Camaro SS. The Cam currently has cat-back hooker exhaust, but I'm looking into putting all new exhaust on it pretty soon. I plan on ditching the Hooker and maybe go to Magnaflow cat-back. What do you guys have on your cars for headers & y-pipe or what would you recommend? I want it louder but not raspy. I want a clean yet loud grumble to the exhaust note. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!
Good luck man. Lots have tried for the sound your hunting for only to encounter rasp. I have seen people have sucess with something like a Borla with a bullet muffler in the i-pipe before it goes over the axle to help eliminate some of the rasp.
Flow wise on a standard catback you'll be hardpressed to find a muffler that will flow on par with the Hooker.
If you havent installed a ORY & LT's then you havent heard the full potiential of the Hooker either. It definetly wakes up with LT's/ORY added to it.

Magnaflow is a great way to go as far as catback goes. Pretty tame at idle and normal driving but when you step on it, it really opens up. In order to avoid rasp you will either need to keep cats or go with an x-pipe. I personally think Magnaflow with a catted 3"y-pipe is one of the cleaner sounds around for these cars.
