From what I heard of miller's car inside, it doesn't really drone too badly when cruising, but it does get stupid loud when you punch it. I'd check out summit for the cats then. I deleted my AIR today, so I'm sure I'll get a code soon enough.

That's one of the only reasons I like living here...you can pretty much do anything to your car and not have to worry about it...
I run pacesetter's with an ORY and a borla and it does not have any drone either, the only person's car I have heard any drone with is my friends pacesetters ORY and loudmouth..

Corsa's are pretty quite from what I have heard.

Then why the hell is mine so raspy? lol All I've done is Jet Hot headers and ORY and SLP lid. Nothin fancy!! I really hope that the large Corsa muffler is hitting something. It would have a vibration noise when it didn't get the amount of gas it wanted from a stand still before the headers. But usually only in reverse.

You might have a baffle loose inside the muffler. There was a batch of corsa ones that had a bad habit of doing that a while back. The more wide open a muffler or exhaust is, the more rasp will be heard. Miller I haven't heard your car with the cutout open, is it really THAT loud?

When was this? I havent even had the car out for awhile its been in storage Theres another car just like mine even black zr1 wheels but he doesnt have an ss hood or wing. Also my car is definitely not quiet, the ONLY time is somewhat quiet is on the highway, good ol m6 going 65 at 1300rpm.

Oh and the cutout is a manual one, ive never even had the plate on it, who needs to be quiet! lol

Maybe it was your look a like... This would have been last thursday before the snow on the 12th. I was moving a bed so the car passed by pretty quick for me to see but I caught a glimpse of a berger panel as he passed....
It probably wasn't you if you run the cutout open all the time then..

I would try asking Andrew69_04 he is pretty local (From Crete, just sw of lincoln) and I have bought some things off of him.
Other than that try looking in the MW classifieds and craigslist, I have found a couple things off of there.

To the local guys running headers did you install them yourself or have a shop do it?

I have Headers&ORY,Heads and cam,as as a dry shot to install in the spring and I trying to decide if I want to have a shop do it or rent a garage(my apartment garage is to small) and try it myself.

I have done plenty of work on old school cars but the camaro is a little cramped in the engine bay compared to them.

If you installed yourself how long did it take and would you be willing to lend a hand to a fellow F-body guy in the omaha area?

I had a bunch of the guys in our local Grand Prix club help me out. I had a 12 second GTP prior to this. Well 12 second with a tune. Fastest run was 13.4 without the alcohol injection and old blower.

Ive done all the work to my car myself except the body and paint work from being wrecked. LT's are fairly simple to install and the cam is not that bad either, only pain is swapping the springs out. I have no problem helping and have a friend here that has a lift to make the headers and easy swap. Let me know when ur planning on doing this and I can see what I can do to help. Don't pay a shop, try it urself with some help and save some money
