98 Z28 with cam, LTs and exhaust

Got the cam installed, reference this link for the way it sounded with exhaust, then longtube headers, and now.

Old link: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...d.php?t=133935

Buddy came by today and we made a quick video. Just for a reference point, his car was running the entire time to give everyone an idea of how loud this thing is. He has just the loudmouth exhaust for now.

My car has FM11 cam, Pacesetter Longtubes and SLP Loudmouth.

Car really doesn't sound good on cold start, but sounds better once you put some heat through the exhaust.

So here ya go:

yeah, with that exhaust it's completely normally. Hopefully once I get the car tuned, it will solve that popping fart sound. Don't like that too much.

Also I'm adding a bullet so that should eliminate it permanently.

I have the same cam and exhaust, but I do have a bullet muffler and Kooks LT's. Even before mine was tuned it really didn't sound like that. So I'm thinking you need a bullet muffler to clean up the sound. Here are two older vids of my car, Both times the car was cold and it was a cold *** day back when I was still in NY. Mine sounds "deeper", so I'm guessing it is the bullet muffler I added....

yeah definitely. It puts a smile on my face to start it up.

Only problem is I can't open it up until I get my tune. So I have no idea how the power feels or how loud it's gonna be. (Although I did open it up before the cam, so it will sound similar to that I guess.)

Nice, so that's LTs plus loudmouth, but with a SS Magnaflow bullet instead of the LM resonator?

Kooks LT's, Kooks Y pipe with Magnaflow bullet cats, SLP loudmouth with a Dynomax 14" bullet in place of the resonator.

My old numbers were 314 rwhp 323 rwtq, but that was before the intake, Longtubes and cam.

I'm gonna have to get it dyno tuned, and when I do, I'll update everyone.

That's good numbers for stock. My car bone stock with 6k miles on it put down 310rwhp. With a cam, fast 90, and just about every bolt on I gained 126rwhp!
