Do I need Full Exhaust System or Just Muffler? So I was wanting to buy some Flowmaster Super 10's for my Camaro and im confused if I would need to buy the full exhaust system because of my mine current ones are positioned (Dual Tips on one side) or can I just buy the muffler and some how add it to my current setup.
Im newbie still so all input would be great. Thanks

Don't be that guy who took off the two on the left and put a flowmaster on. I've bought 3 slp Firehawks and only one had the right exhaust. One did have a flowmaster and he let the muffler shop throw away the SLP system. Makes me sick to my stomach. Btw the TOTL is one of the best flowing systems out there.
If do however decide to go with another setup at least keep the SLP system. If you ever go to sell the car people like and want original. I've seen some SS cars and Firehawks that are not original and owners have trouble getting more than regular LT1 cars bring. Original cars sell faster and bring more. Even if you think you'll never sell it keep in mind that life happens and sometimes our toys have to go. Good luck.

Don't get rid of that exhaust. Many would love to have it!
Here is what my car sounds like with headers, offroad Y pipe, and 2OTL. I love it.

OP check to see if theres any current demand for your exhaust. Not too long ago, 2OTL were selling for a good price, and if youre not fully convinced by it, you can always sell it and make some money off it. Im personally not a big fan of 2otl but its your car, so do what you prefer. Also the flowmaster 10 series arent as bad as everyone makes them out to be. They have a bad rep due to the more basic mufflers flowmaster makes and everyone just assumes they all suck. Theres plenty of comparisons of 10 series loosing less than 5hp on open cutouts in different setups.
I dont have my lt1 anymore, but i have a borla on my ls1 and it sounds mean! I never was a fan of how a ls1 sounds, but i can only imagine how a borla lt1 must sound. When i did have my lt1, i had a GMMG and to this point i havent heard another fbody that sounds as good with stock cam. I miss setting off alarms in parking lots of how deep it was.

That's pretty much the most coveted factory exhaust setup that you've got. It's been long since discontinued by SLP, sounds and flows great for just about any setup.
Like others have mentioned, get a decent set of Longtube headers and an off road y-pipe and you'll be set for exhaust. Also, it polishes up very nicely with a little elbow grease and some metal polish (see the pictures in the link posted above by 93blackZ28).
And Flowmaster is pretty much the bottom of the barrel for aftermarket exhaust for modern cars, IMO. None of it is stainless, the build quality isn't great, and it sounds mediocre at best on most modern cars.
