Well I want a good flowing exhaust, but dont want the glass pack sound.

Clearance is an issue also. My car is not a daily driver, but I do take it out some. And since I will be needing two mufflers, I dont want to pay out the *** for them either.

Mark, how thick is the hooker areo chamber mufflers?

The Dynomax Bullet is WAY to loud...my buddy has them on his camaro, and you can't even hear the blower whine over them. The 40 series is going to resonate like hell. The hooker Aero Chamber is 4.75 thick. If you channel the rear floorboards, you will have no problem. Where the exhaust bends down to run under the crossmember is the problem area.

Anybody ever use the MAC Flow path's? I've seen that they outflow the Dynomax by a little and the Flowmaster by a lot, but I've never heard one on a Camaro; just Mustangs.
