As far as your exhaust goes. Retro fit a factory NPP system. I did it & I absolutely love it. Quiet when cruising Flip a switch & it becomes a strait piped system. Best of both!

everyone talks about modding the inside of your car changing up things in the engine bay etc, but small cosmetic upgrades can make such a difference to how you feel about your car, I just got some vinyl striping for the vents, it was like 6 bucks, and it just makes me feel so much better about my car, I look at it and im like "damn that is so sick"

I see a Prius in your future. 😁 Seriously though your car is very nice! I have a '13 Rally Yellow 2SS. I went straight pipe but kept the stock muffler. I don't get drone like you described and I drive with my rear seats folded down so I can hear it all! My only exterior mods are getting the hood, mirrors, and spoiler painted black and an aftermarket grille for the front and new wheels and tires. Looking forward to getting a supercharger in the near future. I think I will look into tinting the headlights and when I black out the tail light bezels this winter. I only drive in the summer months up here and there is no night at that time of year.

I love my straight pipes… stock headers tho
Note: there’s a difference between loud good and loud obnoxious

[Ronin]

great video and great timing, you actually answered a couple things I was thinking about myself as well for my 2011 SS.

[detroit]

I’m really happy you went into it about intakes. I have a K&N plastic tube cold air intake and thought about changing because people apparently don’t care for them as much. I didn’t know if that was because horsepower gains were worse or not. I take it they are around the same. Also I’m pretty sure your gears aren’t stock. I have a 2012 LS3 with a similar exhaust set up. I have flow master axel backs instead of no mufflers. (416rwhp and 426 tq on dyno), and 75mph I’m right at 2000 rpm.

Definitely tackling suspension mods on my stang before doing anything under the hood. What good is a one trick pony that only goes fast in a straight line.

Got a 2015 LS3. It came with a Hurst short throw shifter, dual mode exhaust and a trunk mat. Bought it new. Do not like the transmission, Shifts hard and will jump out of 2nd gear sometimes and is noisy. Installed the skip shifter bypass and got rid of that nonsense. Had the dealer check the oil level in the transmission. Never raced or even done a burn out. It has not been abused so I don't know what the deal is with the transmission. But I love the car. Would never lower it because I already drag the stock front splitter on everything. Only got just over 14k miles on it, almost 10 years old. Looks brand new, still.

[Dhughes]

Getting one next year i cant wait my friend got a black ss one in high school brand new with 0 miles with the bodykit i fell in love with them

[ryanr]

9:49 you tuned to get pops like that? I bought one with a borla catback stock manifolds pops very similar almost more frequent at times. All my friends say it's tuned and I keep telling them it's not lol

[seanjames]

I have LTH to XPIPE to Borla Atak, sounds amazing with very little drone

[rjduck]

Is the car tuned for the headers and intake?

[canaryveteran]

Soft at first but when you started explaining the exost and the getting older thing i started paying attention. And thanks for the swade tip im sick of cleaning.

[blkeclipsel]

The exhaust was surprising, however it makes total sense man. Especially as you get older. My 2SS still has the stock exhaust and im not really eager to swap it for the reasons you've mentioned.

Im 41 years old, and when guys pull next to me with super loud exhausts, it annoys the F out of me. So, the idea of hearing that 24/7 from my own car is not very appealing.

Driving on lowered cars is also not very fun when you get older, but i really dislike the Camaro stock height. So I went with airlift suspension. I can drive lower, higher, or at stock height. Also, slamming it when parked is pretty cool.

Like you, driving around on static just makes me too self conscious. When you get a certain age, you'll start to prefer comfort and practicality over looks.

[carlosgarza]

Your SS camaro is killer. Wish it was mine

[tatolynn]

2015 Camaro owner.. I straight piped with resonater and muffler delete. Cold air intake as well. The drone is almost deafening on long drives. ☹️

[frenchieblack]

This is the best looking blue 5th gen on YouTube. You ever think about upgrading to CarPlay?

[incyder]

Adding J pipes to your exhaust is supposed to get rid of the drone with straight pipes. SOLO makes a kit. I'm looking into it myself. Nice looking car!
