  • Z28 catback

    Ok, quick question here. I just had a 2002 Z28 catback put on my car (s-pipe modified to fit on my car). Problem is, the car is not only VERY quiet(which I expected), but it does not sound good at all. It sounds kinda high pitched all the way through the RPM range, but luckily never totally turns ricy sounding. The catback has under 200 miles on it, so it is almost brand new.

    My question is, will the exhaust note deepen as the catback ages, or will it always keep the high-pitched tone to it? Everything I read about Z28 catbacks pointed to them being decent in sound and kinda quiet, but not sounding like mine does.

    Do I need another muffler, or not?

    BTW, I have a Camaro SS muffler and tips sitting in my garage; should I put it on instead of the Z28 muffler/tips?

    You may want to add a resinator on the I-pipe to deepen the tone. I have an SS exhaust and mine sounded the same way and I added one and it helped a lot! Good luck!

        I would advise getting the 80 series z28 flow master. I have that and it sounds like a v8 untill about 5000 rpms.

          I have a Z28 but just the muffler and it sounds good. Not high pitched at all. So you got the whole catback? I would imagine it should sound good. I say get a resonator.

            Where do you get a resonator at?

                Does it feel like it makes more power?

                I was thinking about doing it 'cuz it's pretty cheap, but I'd like it to sound nice and not have to buy and install a resonator.

                I know I like the Aerochamber sound and it's not too expensive. Maybe that's the ticket....

                thanks, and good luck with yours
