When I first purchased my camaro the muffler was messed up so I went to minekey. from the cat converter to the back it is new. I was wondering if I can just replace the muffler (which is cheaper) or am I better off getting a cat back exhaust. My main concern is performance (350 engine)

What size pipes and muffler inlet/outlet did they put on?? How much modding do u want to do your car??

Just putting a muffler on is going to be cheaper, but if u want performance with a 350, u will want to go with a 3in. exhaust if u don't have it already. If u do, just get a new muffler.

I would just get a new 3" mandrel bent cat-back system while you are at it, it will help your 350's performance nicely. I am very happy with my Hooker cat-back I bought from Jegs for $260.
