I have a 1995 Camaro with a stock exhaust system except i swapt the muffler out a Z28 muffler with the tips. I noticed a rattling before i changed mufflers so i looked for anything loose pipes but everything was tight. Any ideas i can use all the help i can get its really loud and makes my car sound terrible. ---
