I have a 2000 Camaro ls1 with pacesetter headers with no cats and a true duals setup that is dumped before the axle. it does not have any x or y connections.

okay so i dont think its idle is as loud as it should be or when cruising around. do you guys think by adding a muffler would fix this or by letting the exhaust go over the axle?

not sure if trolling or just...

I'm going to say no to both. a muffler (by name and design) muffles sound. it may not do it by much, and it'll probably change the tone.

running out the back has a similar effect. it'll make it little quieter, and change the tone

So it's not loud enough, so you're considering adding another muffler to make it louder? Seriously lol??

I can't believe ANYONE is so stupid as to think ANOTHER muffler will make it LOUDER!

This has to be a troll, probably a Mustang driver.

Though with 6 posts under his belt he might be a stealth troll... lol

Haha you guys are rough.
Maybe he means to change the mufflers or bullets he has on the duals. Maybe shorter ones or different brand?

G Atsma

No, he specifically mentioned ADDING a muffler to make it louder. The man has NO clue as to how an exhaust system works, and by extension, how engines work.

Cut your pipes so they end just under the seats, now install some turn down ends on them . Turn the ends so they exit up at the floor . Remove the carpets and any sound insulation. Now sit back and enjoy the cacophony. Please refrain from stroking your adolescent little pecker while driving.

Actually they do turn down. Here's the thing, ive seen other ls1 that are louder and better sounding than mine

Well louder doesn't always equate to better sounding, mine is a bit louder than I like but it does sound pretty good. I have long tubes an off road y-pipe and GMMG chambered exhaust. It also has LS6 heads and a pretty lumpy cam so it sounds very different than a stock LS1 with just headers and pipes.
Does your car have any engine mods or just headers and straight pipes?
Maybe you are hearing cars that simply have a lot more motor, lots of LS1 cars have been upgraded to bigger LS engines or had the LS1 built well past stock with stroker kits and custom headwork etc.

Get some cutouts.

When the exhaust starts poppin', the panties start droppin'.
