Best Exhaust for Camaro SS: Cat-Back Systems Ranked & Reviewed

Why Upgrade the Camaro SS Exhaust?

The factory Camaro SS exhaust is a compromise — quiet enough for regulations but leaves significant performance and sound quality on the table. A quality cat-back system reduces backpressure, unlocks 8–18 whp, and delivers the aggressive V8 soundtrack the LT1 deserves.

Top Cat-Back Systems

Corsa Xtreme (Most Aggressive)

The loudest, most aggressive cat-back option for the Camaro SS. Quad 4" tips, full 3" stainless tubing, and a deep baritone tone that turns into a full roar under hard acceleration. Power gain: up to 16 whp.

Borla ATAK Cat-Back

Borla ATAK hits the sweet spot between loud and liveable. Less droning at cruise than Corsa Xtreme, but equally aggressive under throttle. Highly recommended for daily drivers who want maximum performance sound.

Borla S-Type (Daily Driver)

For owners who want a noticeable upgrade without waking the neighborhood. Noticeably better than stock and remains social at cruising speed. 10–12 whp gain. Best daily-driver exhaust for the Camaro SS.

Flowmaster American Thunder

Classic Flowmaster sound — aggressive, raspy, and instantly recognizable. Budget option that still delivers excellent power gains (10–15 whp) and that signature muscle car burble.
