ZL1 Axleback Exhaust on a V6? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys,
wondering if an axleback of a ZL1 would work with a V6?

Getting a good deal on one.

Or should i get a Muffler Delete?

I have the ZL1 NPP on my '13 V6, it is AWESOME...getting it for $250.00 did not hurt

Bolted up in 20 minutes. idle is awesome WOT is insane....Muffler delete is a terrible way to go

I would NOT do a muffler delte, this will make it sound like CRAP.

However you can do a muffler delete if you replace the H pipe with a Magnaflow resontaed X pipe ( 11386). Many have done this and it sounds good.

The X pipe is basically a muffler, but open.

but isn't the ZL1 exhaust 3' vs our V6 exhaust 2.25'
How were you to manage it make it fit ?

I got the x-pipe and muffler delete and it sounds amazing but too loud and light drone.
I am going to put in the ZL1 exhaust now and lets see how it goes.

With the muffler delete is there any disadvantage to the engine?

With the NPP, how does it hook up electronically? Or does it stay open if it's not hooked up?

I'm trying to buy the ZL1 muffler for my v6 and wanted to know if anyone has any videos on how it sounds from the outside of the car. I also wanted to know if it's worth getting or if it sounds good?

Here is a video of the X Pipe with ZL1 NPP exhaust and catless

Then on the dyno

Then with the supercharger

Shawno72 · 11-16-2016, 05:45 AM

I also run the ZL1 axle back and resonated X-pipe and love it!!

in your Opinion does it sound better then the MRT V2 ?

MC brothers · 11-26-2016, 07:09 AM

Do you guys know if the exhaust flap on the NPP makes any annoying noice or vibrates when driving or will it stay fix in place ?

Tmick5jr · 11-26-2016, 12:04 PM

you can't just run an axle back because the zl1 vs v6 pipe size is different, however you can take the entire cat back exhaust and bolt that up and do it that way. The only way you could do just from the axle back would be to get an adapter or some sort. i think the v6 has 2.25" pipe and the zl1 has 2.5"
