The camaro they call sinister is owned by a guy that works at hawks, he custom made that exhaust for his car and everyone was so pleased with the reulsts he got they started making and selling the system, the system is loud, and I do mean loud, but it gives good results, and makes whatever it goes on sound plain nasty. There is a newer vidoe that hawks has on their YouTube channel of sinister on the dyno that'll give you a better sound clip

It can't be louder than my car with just a bullet and dumped.

I was considering that system for my car, but they will NEVER make it in 304 stainless, so I had Mufflex make me a stainless version in 3.5".

What exactly are you looking for? Something quieter? Something louder? Something with tips? Hidden without tips? Something with more flow?

OK. Check out the Dynomax Ultra Flo cat back if stainless isn't a necessity. It runs about $240 shipped after their $75 rebate. It's a single Ultra Flo bullet with 3" pipe all the way back to a 3" y with tips. You can position the y all the way up, cut off the tips, and put on turn downs hidden by the quarters. They also make their own offroad y to go with it although it's set up to also clamp to the standard 2-3/4" stock y as is.

I will not say that this will work, but just looking at mine....


This is kinda ugly when you get on the ground but...




You can see here that if you loosen the clamp on the left, the y will swing up another 3" and be pretty much hidden by the fuel tank.




Then what you have is instead of the setup below, the two tailpipes are up inside between the tank and inners. Angle as needed and put turndowns on them.

The sinister system would cover all of this

Most Mufflex systems are, but they DID build me a 304 stainless version once I requested it.

Others will NOT build a 304, 3.5"/4.0" single turndown system, for ANY cost.
