My exhaust before I swap out the engine

Since I'll be starting the complete restoration/modification soon I'd thought I'd share my exhaust sound with you all in honor of my Camaro.

OEM cat + Flo Pro Muffler + generic rectangular exhaust tips.

241,750 original miles of Camaro goodness. I love my car more than just about anything else. I can't wait to start the restoration/modification. So, what do you guys think of the exhaust tone from my old 305 TBI?

The "not good" was my brother's reaction to a cop driving by. lol He thought I was going to get pulled over--but I saw the cop down the street already pulling someone else over.

Re: My exhaust before I swap out the engine

Not bad, reminds me of the stock exhaust on my car except yours is louder in the low RPM's and a little throaty.

Here's mine:

Re: My exhaust before I swap out the engine

I like your car, those wheels look somewhat familiar. Wouldn't take but $350 to make your LO3 sound a little meaner. It won't really add that much noticable performance--but noise-wise it will make a difference.

Thanks. And I'm almost about to buy my new daily driver...I SO can't wait to get started in the restoration process!!!!!

I'm hunting through craigslist right now for an alternative if the dealer can't locate a retired P71 for me by Sunday.

Re: My exhaust before I swap out the engine

Small update:
  1. I'm not going to be getting a second car until the Camaro is restored to the point of semi-car show quality
  2. I've done a huge lot of maintenance and he runs as good as the day I bought him ^
  3. Bought a new open element intake--which has really made the car sound better as well as make a little more room under the hood.
  4. I've done a couple of additional youtube videos that are boring and really just are there because I felt like it
  5. Bought 2 30th aniv. seats and installed them--they are super comfortable
  6. Bought a 3rd gen ram air hood which will get installed before the paint get put on
  7. Bought a new(er) cleaner instrument cluster plastic cover
  8. Decided for now going with flat/matte black with the wheels in the current condition

^-The maintenance includes: new tranmission mount, oil and oil filter change, new PCV, new intake, Seafoam vaccuum line flush, Seafoam fuel system treatment, Seafoam crankcase oil treatment, new fuel filter, and a better interior detail prep for paint with sound deadener and a repaint of some surfaces.
