I have a 2002 SS with the center port SLP exhaust. It is so loud that I can't hear myself talk when the engine is pulling between 1800 and 2500 rpm. The dealer said to quiet it down I would have to put a whole new stock exhaust system on. The Muffler shop said the sound is resonance from the tail pipes. Is there a muffler that will quiet things down without robbing too much power? I would be willing to sacrifice some power to get my sanity back. HELP!

Better get used to it. Almost all the free flowing exhaust systems have a 2K drone. I switched out my dual/dual for a Loudmouth, and the drone definitally kicks in at 1800-2200 rpm. I modified the system with a can muffler, and it helped, but on long trips I still hear it. best thing to do is downshift and raise the rpm's or back off until it goes away.

The Corsa exhaust has no such resonance at 1800-2200rpm. Corsa doesn't sell just their muffler so next best thing might be a Magna Flow muffler replacement.
