What Camaro muffler? Stock? Magnaflow? Borla? Flowmaster? They all sound different.

The top 3 preferred here on this forum in order:

Magnaflow
Flowmaster 80
Hooker Aerochamber

Do NOT delete your resonator for any of them. YouTube will not accurately represent true sound. No low-quality recording can. Since this isn't a mechanical problem, I'll move this topic. Santonio, it would be a big help if you would read the section descriptions before posting.

Just curious why. I put an exhaust from a lesabre in my 95 and it had no resonator. All seems fine 3K later.

It will sound raspier and poppier, just worse in general (according to most tastes)

[willwren]

Your 95 had a resonator from the factory, and it's not terribly obvious. Someone else removed or you missed it. V6 exhaust sounds rotten without one, and it doesn't hurt performance. I ADDED a resonator to the Zilla for that reason, as 93 was the last year that didn't have one from the factory.

Ok, thanks. I did notice it seemed a bit louder after the swap. I may replace the exhaust with a new one so I'll be sure to get a resonator.

Your exhaust is stainless steel with mandrel bends. Don't replace it. Just add a resonator and save a few bucks. You'll get a deeper more mellow grumble.
