with a my tax money in buying an new muffler mines looking really rusty and it getting louder everyday so im gonna be getting a new one i want a flowmaster but which one do i need and is the stock on welded to the inlet pipe?

You need the 80 series, with a 2.5" inlet, for a Camaro. Jeg'* has it, summit racing does, etc. Shouldn't be more then $80 MAX.

why not just chop it and put a straight through pipe on?

if you have EVER heard a 3.8 with no muffler, you would wonder why you asked that question, plus there would be a decrease in performance and prolly illegal

I got the flowmaster 80 on my car......She sounds great.....IMO. The stocker muffler is welded on the pipe, so you will have to cut it out.....It'* easy.

My own car without a resonator, and Magnaflow HiFlow Cat and Magnaflow crossflow muffler was DEAFENING.

You're kidding, right?

Any F-body Crossflow muffler with the right inlet and outlet diameters will be fine.

will i lose any performance like i did when i had to gut my cat on my buick i lost alot of low end.

You shouldn't lose any low end when gutting a cat, or putting a high flow one in..

Yeah it'* loud. I fired mine up @ 2AM with just a Cat and pipe. It doesn't really sound bad, but it'* LOUD. I found my pix of a double glass pack setup, i'll get them up when I'm at home.

That'* a matter of opinion, and other members have observed the same. This has the potential to start another 'backpressure' argument, but the experiences are real.

Gutting a cat is a bad idea to begin with for several other reasons. Keep the components, but replace them with higher-flow designs.

I have an 87 but i didn't want to start a new post. The 80 series will fit just the same on mine right? Jegs has it for like 90 bucks shipped. Not a bad deal. When you remove the old muffler does the new one slip in to the old inlet and can be clamped or does it have to be welded all around?
