I have a LE cam going in my car thats pretty close, 226/232 on a 110 lobe. Then again, I don't care about hiding it. Nor do I really care about advertising it. I really just care that it fits my engine.

Re: Magnaflow really gonna "hide" my cam????
I'll try to get a good sound clip of my exhaust. I have the XE-268 with 112LSA on a 355 HSR with Hooker 2055's, no cat and the Magnaflow system and you can deffinatly tell there's a cam in it. I love the Magnaflow, trust me you will to, I just switched from a Flowmaster and it went from a cammed pick up truck to actually sounding like a V8 car.

here is a video of my old trans am with a 214/224 112lsa cam it had hooker shortys no cat 2 1/4 pipe into a magnaflow muffler and 2 1/2 tails.
ill load a video of my lsx swaped trans am with the hot cam and through a single in/0ut 14in magnaflow my cam is slightly hidden on it but im running manifolds on that motor but full 3in mandrel y pipe and i pipe to muffler.
