Question on exhaust........

I have stock exhaust on my 3.1L v6 camaro and now it rattles when I rev. So I want to get a new exhaust and I want something that sounds good but won't attract attention from like cops or anything. How much would it cost to redo the exhaust?

The rattling is probably your catalytic converter. Get underneath and bang on it and see if you can hear any broken pieces rolling around. I drove my car for like 4 months with a busted cat....everybody thought my car was a POS. Haha.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help! I will check the catalytic converter soon. So how much do the dynomax catbacks cost? Are they pretty easy to install yourself or does it involve any welding?

a Dynomax(walker) ultra flow stainless steel muffler is about 200$ 2,5" partnumber 17266 at www.carparts.com and it's pretty easy to install, only clamps and hanger.
Check out summit and the others, prices are different.

Dynomax Super-Turbo catback, $140 from Summit Racing, 1-800-230-3030. It's a good bet that you want part # WLK-17493....
