Magnaflow catback Simple Queston: Would it be too loud on a camaro with LT's and ORY? This is a automatic Z-28 too so I don't want it being annoying but I am looking for a nice throaty sound, a tad louder than a Flowmaster American Thunder set-up. Opinions on this catback?
I have the MagnaFlow catback on my car right now but I do NOT have headers and off road y-pipe. I do however have MagnaFlow catback on my 2004 Silverado with 5.3 and I do have Stainless Works Longtubes with catted y-pipe and it does not sound bad. Very tame at idle and normal driving but screams when the "loud" pedal is pressed. I do have some clips at home that I could send or I could take more if need be. Let me know via PM or if anyone else wants some I am sure I could post somewhere. Thanks.
I have the Magnaflow catback as well and this soundclip made me decide to get longtubes and a ORY.

That does sound badass! Wonder how much drone I'll have being an automatic though. But for the look, price and sound I think this is the one I'll go with. If it's too loud I'll throw a Dynatech powercat in there to quieten it down a little. Thanks!

I got the magnaflow catback with longtubes, ORY, and a cam and I still think it's too quiet sometimes. It's loud enough at idle and WOT, but normal driving seems to be too quiet just sometimes. It was even quieter with a stock camshaft.
I don''t think you'll think it's too loud by any means.

I have Magnaflow with a stock Y pipe and exhaust manifolds and it does sound pretty mean at WOT. For some reason though, I hear it just fine at cruising speeds. I love the sound, very deep and throaty. You'll love every penny spent on it.

Free shipping and its only $419.99! I ordered my catback from them. Great service!
EDIT: Dang I just double checked Summits price....$454.95 and I believe they even charge for shipping. Cancel your order and go with ls1speed ASAP!
That sound clip sounds almost identical to my car! I have different brand Lts and ory though so there's small differences. But you wondering how much drone there will be, there won't be drone, there will be alot of rasp from 2k - 3k. All my fellow mustang enthusiast friends call me a raspy bitch.

yes, that setup def. has some rasp. Sounds good when he's on it, but rasps when he lets off. Magnaflows seem to have a unique "pingy" sounding rasp when you let off. Not a bad thing if that is what you like I guess-They sound to me almost like you took a loudmouth and narrowed the pipe diameter.

damn I should've shopped around a little! Thanks for checking on that, I need to save every penny I can for other things. I'll give LS1 speed a call then, appreciate it!

After I told him I bought it from Byun Speed, had it installed at Creation Z (local shop) and it had only been on for 10 months his knowledgeable idea was take it back to the shop and have it welded. NO ****!!!! I never thought of that ! After I let the dude know what an idiot he was he said I could return the entire exhaust. ITS JUST A TAILPIPE. I told everyone in line not to waste their money and left with the guy cussing at my back. I hope that guy was just some local they hired to work the tent. Sorry for the rant.
