Default Exhaust set-up

I just installed SLP-Loudmouths and they are nice and all, i like the sound, etc, but i want something with a little more bass? Im thinking cams? Im not sure, but i kind of want my car to make the floor rumble kind of like a srt-10 viper does

Let me know

Cams and headers will do the trick. I have the same setup right now. I will be doing this later.

Cams would definately do the trick. IMO the best sounding on the market for our cars right now is BBR, that is just going by clips I have heard and what I have heard at car shows. Any brand though is going to give you that nice muscle car rumble.

Okay. Thanks! How much would a good set up cams run me? I know headers a bit expensive see'ing how im only 17... but let me know the best bang for the buck. Thanks

read this and then figure out a way to do it without cams, cause if headers are to much then you dont want to do cams.....there is a ton of supporting mods, including headers, to install to get the best results from cams.

Cams for S197

Okay guys. Thanks for your input.Give me an estimate on how much the whole deal would cost without installation? Cams & Headers. If i just installed headers would it give it more bass? Today i tried going into a parking garage setting off car alarms, it didnt work at all. So i def need more rumble/bass. Let me know, thanks!!

LT's and o/r h-pipe is what will make it deeper and louder. at first i just installed axle backs, and was ok for about a month, then i wanted more loud so i put in LT's and o/r x-pipe and it was 10x more loud and deep. if you really dont like raspiness get the o/r h-pipe. or mac prochambers are good sounding in place of the o/r h-pipe

Headers and midpipe your probably looking at spending around $1000+ depends on which brand you go with. Cams alone are going to run around $600-$650 and that doesn't include new springs or retainers. Which you don't have to get but is highly recommended. Sometimes you can get lucky with the pricing though and find people who are selling slightly used or even brand new stuff.
