It’s somewhat loud I guess, but not excessive. Granted I’ve only driven it maybe 2 miles to get gas and back. It’s definitely got a blowoff valve that’s way too loud for me, but maybe I’ll get used to it. My friend who tested the car for me out of state definitely missed a bunch of stuff sadly. I thought I was getting a bone stock car.

That most definitely could be it! It’s pretty ugly.
And you guys are definitely right in that the car definitely has a muffler delete, it’s about as loud as my Camaro SS 1LE in track mode at normal cruising speed I’d guess. I haven’t driven the car on a highway yet to see how annoying it gets. It doesn’t bother me doing errands around town that much. Right now my car feels like a “poser car” to me with the loud exhaust and BOV and no big power, but we’ll see if it grows on me, or if I want to take the exhaust back to stock (or get the Thermal exhaust). Thermal sounded the best to me on YouTube.
Thanks for the help guys!
edit: fixed exhaust brand name.

You mean the Thermal exhaust?
Your f body (Camaro) is a 5th or 6th gen, I take it? (Since you mentioned 'track mode' which redirects the exhaust path and noise level with the electrically controlled, internal butterflies, correct??)
I owned a base, no options, I even deleted the power windows, 2000 Z28 4th gen with the LS1 and T56 gearbox immediately before buying this car.

Yes, that’s what I mean, my brain works very oddly with names after having Lyme disease for nearly 40 years. I have no clue why, but it makes names really hard for me to remember!
And yes, my car is a 2020 2SS 1LE 6-speed w/PDR. Your old Camaro almost sounds like one of those B4C (police package) cars that were hot in SCCA racing for a while, but I think that the B4C was only available early in the 4th gen cars, but I could be wrong again.

It was not a B4C code, but it did have a full delete, NO options code (which I forgot now), as I wanted to have the lightest LS1 Camaro ride possible, which I then set up for handling, and not the drag strip!
It was a 'bang for the buck' bargain, since I paid well under $20K for it, special ordered, new.
If I remember correctly, there was a 1LE option for the earlier, 'bucket headlight' ('93-'97), LT1 4th gens, but not for the latter 'bubble headlight' ('98-'02) LS1 4th gens.

Gotcha, I was very close to buying an early 4th gen probably around 1993/1994, but I ended up buying an E30 M3 instead, and in hindsight I made the right call. I was actually considering a SLP Firehawk back before they were made at the factory. I remember I was blown away by the Firehawk doing 12.9 in the 1/4 mile back then, but by the time I was racing and modifying Porsche for a living my tastes changed and I was more into handling. That M3 was my daily driver for over 15 years and I sold it for $8K around 2007.
