Exhaust question

I have a comp cams 268he cam in my camaro and it doest sound as agressive as others that ive heard. Would stock manifolds possibly mask the sound of the cam? it has straight pipe single exit with no cat as of right now.

Re: Exhaust question

Cast iron manifolds would dampen the tone over headers.

Re: Exhaust question

Should be enough cam for the 305. Those cams have enough over lap to sound fairly aggressive. Assume you are running a carb? Makes a big difference in idle quality as well.
