i have a 2001 nbm camaro ss, (ms4 111 lsa, prc stg 2.5 heads, lt's, no cats etc..) i'm currently running the random technology catback. it does not sound like a stock camaro ever. also the magnaflow shouldn't sound like a stock camaro. trmin8r had the magnaflow originally with his ms3, sounded great.

did you have a noticeable loss in power when you put the magnaflow on? could have some restriction in the muffler. defective maybe, i've never heard of a defective muffler but who knows. try to post a few different sound clips.

My friend has Jet Hott lt's, no cats and a stock cam. His car definately doesn't sound stock. Give it some time to break in. I think the insulation in the muffler burns off a little. When he gets on the throttle I can hear his car in my house with the windows closed and the TV on.
