4th Gen Camaro 3.8L Muffler Delete

In this video I delete the muffler on my 2000 Camaro 3.8L V6 5 speed. This is my budget beginner track car and I needed to make the exhaust louder on the camaro so that I could safely hear my own vehicle while out on the track. These 3800's are known for rasp, and this is no exception, so I end up installing the cheapest resonator I could find.

That's quite a drastic change in sound levels. I could definitely hear when to shift gears with all that sound "telling" me what to do. Wouldn't have to read the tachometer all the time.
Exhaust technology is very interesting. I've heard one could use the frequency of the exhaust pulses in a certain rev range and exploit their accompanying scavenging effects among the cylinders to calculate WHERE to install an H- or X-pipe. Mind you...that is IF you have the freedom to put such devices anywhere you like underneath the car. AS you know better than I, there are clearance issues involved.
I'm fascinated how companies and individuals time the pulses and scavenging effects to get the sound effects they want over a specified area of the power curve. It's easy to see why so many people spend lots of money and time on it.
I'm not sure...but maybe somewhere you have already captured some video of your tachometer and its readings when you're racing on the track. Maybe you can concentrate your attention on the rev range you use in racing and use that to help you calculate where want to put any exhaust devices in the machine.
From your enthusiasm, I'd say you'll enjoy learning how to weld your exhaust. I've watched you become an expert at A/C maintenance, and I'm confident you would do well as a welder whenever you want to try mastering that discipline.
In the meantime...enjoy racing! Aloha!

@@reccros7623 power tool is handier, but this exhaust cutter leaves a cleaner cut, although it requires a bit of effort :)
