Nice man. Love the sound when you took off from the light. Is that rattling sound just the camera moving in its bracket, or is that your suspension? I'm also guessing from the gages and the whining sound, that it is turbo'd. One more thing... who's camaro?
1-rattling is the camera mount. I just bought it off a member here and have some tweaking to do to it to make it a little more solid and a little quieter. So, no it's not the suspension.
2-Gauges are just there for me to know what's going on with the motor. It is not turbo'd. Those are oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp. Stock gauges are pretty much useless. Only thing the stock water temp gauges is good for is saying, "See that steam coming from under the engine? I think you overheated. I'ma light up now." I have the magnaflow catback and Injen SRI making all the noise.
3-Camaro is my brother in law's. He is staying with my wife and I for 2 months looking for a job down here. He is looking to upgrade that to a Mazda 3 or Pro5.

So do you like the magnaflow?
I was looking into a racing beat.
I drive a lot of interstate (65-75mph) and don't want a lot of droning or ricey sound. What you got sounds nice though. Header? or just intake.
To keep on track... filled up today, 360 miles, 31.4 mpg!!! Filled up for $3.989/gal. Still feel sore in the butt, but I'm driving slower and getting better mileage. Man I really miss $.99 gas.

I'm debating pulling the P5 apart to try to start selling some parts. I'm running low on money with the new move and I've got some bills I need to pay. Parts considered are my full FMIC, some 440cc injectors an old P5 IM with VTCS removed and some other things. I'm just not sure I want the P5 to be down indefinitely.
I love the Magnaflow. Looks good from the outside, not ricey like the fart can exhausts.
I did have an OBX header, but removed it after a trip on the highway. Drone was horrible! But, it was flippen sick in the city! I LOVED THE EXHAUST NOTE!!!
i now have the stock header with the Injen intake and it sounds great! I drive on the highway on my way home from 60-75mph and the drone is very minimal. I've done 2 hour road trip with wife in the car and it's fine.
I'm buying a Wagner shorty header though, which will keep the stock precat in place but allow better flow into it. Should give a tiny gain, but prevent the drone hopefully.

Does the magnaflow come with a silencer? Thought I saw that it did somewhere.
No, the Magnaflow catback does not have a silencer - it's not a cannister style exhaust. As for sound, as you know it's nice and deep. It does drone a little on the highway around 3500 RPM (or at least it did for me). It's loud but not 'arrest-me-loud' and the tip is small and discreet enough to avoid further Police attention.
I don't feel the car is loud at all, in my honest opinion. Although, with the OBX, a guy on his bike going away from me a block away turned to see me coming as soon as I got on the road.
Man I miss the sound that made!
As to the drone, yeah, it is there on the highway, but, it really isn't bad. Turn the radio up a little more and you're good. And the car has so much wind noise at 65-70, i feel the drone is nothing.

Very nice man. I like the lip painted. And the rims. Makes me want to spend some money.

Thanks man. Yea I just realized that I spent about 1500 on the car in two weeks and I really need to chill out and come back down to earth. After I install these tokico's that I have sitting here and I get an alignment, I'm done for a while with the buying business.
lol! Yeah - keep tellin' yourself that.
You have contracted a disease for which there is no cure.Well ... It's monsoon season in the high Texas desert. Blowing dust + thunderstorms every night = raining mud (hand) Gotta make a spot in my garage for the Pro before I cry ...
