I have a 2010 v6 camaro and am looking to get that old school muscle car sound out of it. Will glass packs get me what I want and if so any suggestions as to which brand would be best?

You might consider something like a Borla exhaust. My oldest son put one on his Camaro and it sounds great without being obnoxiously loud. It’s kind of a subdued growl. A bit pricy but all stainless and a lifetime warranty.

The best way to get the sound you want is to get a old school muscle car like a mopar hemi or ford big block.

The answer to your question is no. A large part of what made the old muscle cars sound as good as they did was the crank angle in the V8 engines. By “crank angle” I mean the crank’s rotation angle at which each firing happens. There is another definition of “crank angle”, being the angle at which …

I’ve always even as a teenager thought the best exhaust sound would be no sound at all. My exhaust sound figure of merit is how quiet it is. My dad didn’t agree with this theory, and when the muffler on my first car fell off my dad told me he’d get a new one installed for me. That car hosted an …

Fart can mufflers, Funny, so we were at the golf course and one of my buds is a motorcycle trucker guy, now we heard these really loud whiny crotch rockets, and he was like they made a lot of noise, but I assume being at full throttle their rpm was not increasing that much, lame. Now I happened to p…

Back in the day I put a pair of Cherry Bombs on my '68 Roadrunner. At first I thought it sounded kind of cool but a few weeks in I took a road trip to Texas to visit a sometimes fling and they drove me nuts. After a couple hundred miles they were giving me an annoying headache with the incessant dr…

The smoothest I’ve heard was back in '71, a buddy had a '70 Camaro with a 350 with Thrush sidepipes. But, as OK4450 pointed out, they can drive you nuts after a while. We took a trip from Grand Forks ND to Winnipeg Canada one weekend and that constant throbbing sound sunk right through my skull. I c…

[image] ok4450: Some may remember back when that some 2-stroke motorcycles had expansion chambers on them to aid in performance. Those would rip your eardrums right out and made the glass packs sound pretty tame by comparison. The expansion chamber is part of a stock 2 stroke exhaust system,…

When I was young I liked the glass-pack sound.
Now that I’m old I like no sound at all. But I don’t mind an 8-cylinder with glass packs, as long as they’re not gutted.
I don’t like six-bangers with glass packs.
I abhor 4-bangers with “fart can” mufflers.

I guess I’m gettin’ old!
