Re: Quieting Cammed Car

If you want a quiet catback then go with the SLP dual/dual.

That's what I have on my car with long tubes and a 3" ORYP and I am pleased with the sound. It is quiet enough at cruise yet sounds really healthy when you open it up.

Anyone who knows anything about engines is going to hear a big cam at any idle speed. Do you want to mask the cam, or just tone down the exhaust? Masking will be difficult, if not impossible, and toning down the exhaust will require re-thinking the exhaust system and living with some performance compromises from the true-dual set-up. High flow dual cats, through 3" piping and an SLP totl cat-back would be a mellow example that may help mask the cam a bit too.
Right, you are always going to be able to hear the cam but it does make a big difference to raise the idle. I would not want to mask the sound of a cam, I think that it is music to the ears, but that is what he wants.

Throw a couple high flow cats on there. That'll shut it up

That will do it too. And that may be a very good option.

Re: Quieting Cammed Car

Ok guys Great info, let me ask you this then, I am getting FastChips (ED Wright) to program car on the dyno, THROUGH TUNING only with no raising Idle, would that help smooth the cam? How much of tuning helps cam sound.

I guess you can say I am trying to mask the cam, I want a sleeper on the street but I want the same power that I would have at theTrack, is that understandable.

Tuning without raising idle to mask a cam? Not going to happen. Tuning doesn't change the valve events.

Your request is understandable, but probably not achievable. A big cam is just not stealthy.

That's all it boils down to right there.
