on a v8 it'll just be a glass pack at the end of the pipe...aka might as well get some nice normal looking borla or pace setter resonator tips

Re: tuner mufflers?
I dont really like the idea too much. Makes it look *****. I guess if you had the car set up for full drift racing, it would look OK. My buddy has a 240SX with dual fart cans and it actually is a pretty sick car.

Re: tuner mufflers?

Re: tuner mufflers?
But that's not the link I provided. It's a different category. Might as well say "All Chevrolets are diesels" After all, go to Chevrolet, and there is a diesel link. All 3rd gens must be V6,. There is a V6 link.
Bottom line, I didn't link to the ATV category, but to the Auto category. Yes, Supertrapp makes some for ATVs. I didn't link to those. So, I don't know why you even bothered to bring up the ATVs.

Re: tuner mufflers?
because it's the same lame A$$-muffler car/atv, and it doesn't belong on a firebird anymore than that fart can pic i posted does!

Re: tuner mufflers?
Whatever...I tried to be polite, and admit I read tuner as tuneable, but....
Anyways, Supertrapps were around before r i c e r s even existed. I guess Flowmasters are r i c e r too. After all, Flowmaster makes import mufflers.

Re: tuner mufflers?
I thought about mounting my 40 series 3.5" muffler sticking out the back like the ricers do it...then I thought to myself, i'm not a ****** bag...
No really, it didn't look good at all (maybe I should chrome it!).

Re: tuner mufflers?
JUST STOP THIS MADNESS!!! those "tuner" or "tunable" stuff doesnt belong on anything with a sbc, especially a thirdgen.. and to the original poster- youre car looks sweet as hell, dont f*** it up with some crap like that. if u need an exhaust go borla, hooker, blowmaster.....

Re: tuner mufflers?
''im not going to do it but me and my dad were tossing it around.'' i never planed on doing it , just a hair brained idea that just poped into my head. if i was going to get a muffler i would get a nice flowmaster or something .
o and thats not my car, but how i wish it was

Re: tuner mufflers?
I am with you on this... I am not a serious, die hard, camaro purist. I have done research on the muffler i would like do this with. I heard a chevy that was running those tuner mufflers, it sounded cool, it didn't sound farty, it had a really nice sound.
When i heard it and turned around, was surprised to see a Chevy, but i actually smiled and liked the guys creativity.
Hey man, this board is full of PURISTS and its your car, and i for one am with you... once i can stop a few ppl with the sound i am looking for, i will go for it. Hahah nothing wrong with sounding like an indy car... LOL

Re: tuner mufflers?
It really depends on what car you are putting tuner styled mufflers on. Iv'e seen grand prix gtp's with duel tuner mufflers and it acually looked good. and it sounded nice too. But I can't see a camaro looking good with tuner mufflers on it.
