Default Mild Cam People, inside!

Any tips on keeping the car quiet with a mild cam. (Probably TSP Torquer v.2 with 114 LSA)


I also plan on getting out with a pair of Patriot 5.3L heads later down the line as well. But what I'm aimming for now is to keep my car quiet to keep my neighbors from killing me, but if possible, I'd like to have a cutout to make it loud at the push of a button.

Anyone have a cammed car and have it quiet?

do you have headers on the car as well? Check out LS1sounds.com They have sound clips of every cat-back or x/h-pipe made for our cars with different mods. So just listen to some that are close to what your running.

That's what I planned on going with but can LT's bolt up to the stock?

Sorry I shoulda said I plan on getting LT's and the basic bolt ons before getting the cam.

EDIT: http://www.ls1sounds.com/SLPdual-dua...tout-opens.MPG

That sounds pretty much what I'm aimming for, the cutout would basically be there just for sound since duals give very good flowing performance.

Anyone have an idea where he put the cutout at? Before the X/H?

The sound-clip you posted is of a y-pipe setup, not duals (no X or H). The catback is called the SLP dual/dual (describing the 2 dual tips). It came stock on many SLP cars and is one of the quietest/best flowing aftermarket catbacks available. Put the cutout where most do on y-pipe setups, right under the rear seat before the intermediate pipe goes over the axle.

Yea, checked the SLP site and didnt see any true dual setups, thanks for clearing that up for me. Looks like I'll be getting that.

Thank you.

I consider my car quiet until I go WOT or open the cutout. I haven't had any complaints yet. :shrug:
