Pros & Cons of a Straight Piping Your Car, Is It Worth It? | Straight Piped 5th Gen Camaro SS Review

[@gvaspirated]

Hey guys! I apologize in advance for the poor image quality in some of the shots. There's been several technical difficulties in the rendering and editing with the raw footage. I recommend watching this video on your mobile device. Thanks again!

[@jordenanthony9746]

I've been watching you for almost a year now and i love what you've done with the Camaro. Your videos are what made me finally go out and get 1 for myself. I bought a 2014 2ss/rs and it has been amazing 2 me. I've done a lot of modifications to mine except the exhaust so far.... looks like its time I change that lol. thanx for the excellent content bro!!

[@gvaspirated]

Yo Jorden your comment means a lot bro. I'm so glad I could be a part of your journey. I hope the car continues to bring you smiles per gallon!

[@KaylaRundle]

Straight piping is amazing! Don’t recommend it if it’s your daily but it sounds sooo good 🔥😩

[@gvaspirated]

100% agree with you Kayla! Easiest and cheapest way to sound totally ballistic. At the cost of daily drivability tho hahaha

[@Todddy1k]

@@gvaspirated does straight pipe effect gas mileage or something ? How come you can’t do daily

[@DeSantaMuerte]

@@Todddy1k yes it significantly kills MPG but it’s just insanely too loud, attracts a lot of unwanted attention

[@fish_R_stinky69]

@@Todddy1k Straight-piping helps your gas mileage because it increases engine efficiency.

[@fish_R_stinky69]

@@Todddy1k You technically CAN daily a straight pipe. It's just that some dudes can't handle it.

I have a 2010 2SS with BBK longtube headers, straight piped exhaust with 2 1/2 exhaust and x-pipe. It's honestly very quiet when cruising to the point where you hardly even hear it. It's only really loud at cold start and when you really get on it. There was a little drone when I first got the work done but then it died out after driving some. Mine is also sort of a daily driver and I highly recommend doing this if you have an SS. The car is waaaaay too quiet. I started just adding the headers which was still quiet. Then a muffler delete...same thing. Once I cut the res and added the x-pipe that's when it really woke it up. I'm in Illinois. I've had a modified Challenger V6, a Muffler deleted Challenger RT and now the Camaro (which is definitely the loudest) and I've never gotten any trouble from the law here and have been blessed enough to have neighbors that absolutely love my car. But then again, I don't obnoxiously rev or do dumb shit either. Lol

[@gvaspirated]

Yeah man, the drone only happens at higher speeds. I'm honestly in the same predicament with my neighbors, the most action they'll get from me is the weekly cold starts and thats it hahah!

[@randomvideosyt5955]

if you ever do get muffers the corsa extreme would sound insane but i say the downside would be they are crazy expensive.

[@kalehughes]

We actually have the same setup minus the cats, I'm catless and Im thinking about switching up the setup because the exhaust note at low rpms is awkward on my build. Im thinking of going Corsa. Our cars sound the same haha but I'm A6 l99

[@gvaspirated]

You know at the lower end it's also a bit strange for me too. Maybe down the line I'll switch it up

[@mcdonaldkyle2]

I’ve had 2 straight piped Cummins trucks and when I lived in an apt complex the apt manager told me I couldn’t park my truck in the complex lol so yea can confirm there are some headaches

[@natefitness5627]

Bought my 2011 HSV Clubsport with straight pipes, dont think I could change it hahah love the sound too much

[@gvaspirated]

Yeah man straight pipe setups are always the comfort mods hahaha

[@MindfulAura73]

Not the new ones because they get raspy but 5th gen Camaro's sound good straight piped also old 60s to 70s muscle car with a v8 also sound good straight piped

[@TheSTeWMaN29]

I purchased a 4 cylinder chevy malibu and it came from a previous owner who lived near the beach, so the exhaust was all rusted out, cats and all, so it was cheaper for me to put headers and straight pipe it, it sound good and is not real loud enough to piss people off, but it helps to have a good stereo that is loud too

[@gvaspirated]

How funny! Lmfao, i bet people always pause and look around not expecting for it to come from your malibu!

[@TheSTeWMaN29]

It makes me sound alot faster than I am, I actually wish it were slightly softer so I might slam a cat in soon

[@bgill999]

Ive had headers on my 2012 ss just staright piped it and its so fun but very loud. Have u ever been pulled from how loud it is

LMFAOOOO yoooo this is so true! I feel you!

[@fartherhydra4009]

Hey i love the car but I can’t seem to find the Flowmaster X pipe anywhere is there a way you can send me a link to it?

[@gvaspirated]

they might have newer versions on their website! Maybe I have an older model since this car is from 2010

[@thebossnocompetition8757]

those stock mufflers are huge. how much weight do you loose with an borla exhaust?

[@Filipesun]

so what exactly do you have all done to your exhaust? like a quick small list for us :)

[@coffee1630]

Great video i been recently just watching your videos. Im not sure if you heard of them or not yet but you should consider looking into noweeds diverters. They are a little pricey but well worth the price. Its a duel valve cut outs and it will help with any of the cons you mentioned in the video basically. I think it's super cool and the best thing to be a sleeper at a red light and someone revs on me thinking my car is quieter than theirs then pushing the button to open them off right off of long tube headers and i will say it is stupid loud. It doesn't get anymore louder than that i want to say running literally just long tube headers open LOL 😎and the sound is great due to v8. I have a 2011 ss camaro myself

[@BSA210]

Everything you said in this video is exactly on point and I've experienced exactly all of these things. Very nice summary!

[@gvaspirated]

Glad it was helpful bro! :)

Look into Black Widow exhaust “neighborhater”

Straight pipes are illegal where I live. Problem for the people who don't like it is so many guys have done it that the cops gave up trying to enforce it 😂

[@Rackzify]

Is it worth it if I got the L99?

[@fbody23100]

I added longtubes about 2 weeks ago. I have no cats into a xpipe and then muffler delete and it sounds pretty good. at 2k rpm it sounds like a trumpet (my only gripe) but above that it sounds so sweet it's worth it! down shifting with the paddles sounds amazing.

I think what to do that’s best is go with a mid sound nice tone no too loud muffler in back but in middle do cut outs and you can make it straight pipe with a button and then push it again and not get in trouble

Strait pipe sounds horrible, annoying pops and drone. Just get a good setup and you’ll be good. Let’s not forget the loss in horsepower too. Get ya 1 or 2 chamber muflers

[@gvaspirated]

With sound, I think it sounds great! But to each their own I guess. Admittedly it has flaws tho. Drone is for sure an issue. I can definitely see myself changing my set up in the future tho.

[@zhen5281]

@@gvaspirated it’s obviously not my car so I can’t talk bad on it but those strait piped cars do sound really good at idle with the tone. I live in a place with annoying strait piped trucks and civics so it’s hard to like them anymore 😂😂
