Exhaust questions? With stock manifolds and cats would it hurt anything to just dump the exhaust at the end of the I? The previous owner hacked up the factory catback and I like no tips on a camaro anyway. Are there any negative effects?
No negative effects at all, just gonna sound a little funny with the stock manifolds and cats. I agree, dumped on a camaro is the way to go, way better than having tips coming out the back, just doesn't look right

How much louder will it be than it being straight and going on out the back? I don't really plan to leave it this way just long enough to figure out if I'm going to keep the car. Where the I pipe joined with the over the axle pipe was somewhat crushed and rusted and I had to mangle it to get it apart. I figured I could cut the I at the end and weld a turn down on it and run it for a while to figure out what I'm going to do with the car. What about an old cheap glass pack at the end with a turndown?
At idle, and just cruising under 2k rpm it's mildly loud . Beside that and it's as loud as no muffler. That's with a Magnaflow #14419 (4" dia. 14" case length muffler). I'd go with 4" diameter, 18" case length muffler. One of the three I have listed bellow will work great!
Aluminized:
Magnaflow #18129, $45.
Dynomax #24219, $49.
Stainless Steel:

When I was first modding my car I took the y pipe off and ran open manifolds with the cats on. It actually sounded pretty good to me. With just the y pipe on it sounded pretty bad. Much better with the y off.
