JBA mid pipes installed full of sound and fury ;) pics and vid - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ronin_2SS · 09-18-2010, 08:11 PM

well got my JBA mid pipes in this week and just had them installed. Overall its a great product. only complaint (as with many others) is the location of the driver side primary o2 sensor. why JBA put the bung at an angle so that the wires sit so close to the tranny is a mystery

. other than that it sounds EPIC! now keep in mind i had done a muffler delete with an x-pipe prior to this install, and was very happy with that setup. now with the high flow midpipes its a whole new beast! decel popping is loud and scary (just the way i like it) on cold start up it shakes the windows of our apartment, and on W.O.T its a symphony

I did notice a slight loss in low end torque via the butt dyno, however top end is where you start to pull some cushion

Now im sure you want to know about drone...well of course there is drone. but maybe its just me and i know what RPM and gear to drive at so that it is not noticable. Now since we are all in CALI its not legal...but since when anything fun in this state ever is. I got mine through Marylandspeed.com for 391.00 free shipping

I highly recommend

here are a few pics and a better vid enjoy

We were talking about your exhaust system at Robs House this evening. Sorry we didnt get to see and hear it live. Maybe next time.

Sounds like how a Camaro should sound, LOUD!!

Looks and sounds awesome bro.

RichieRich · 09-19-2010, 11:23 AM

Ryan you installed yourself? How did that go?

Iwantone2 · 09-19-2010, 01:36 PM

Awesome!!! I can't wait to stop being a cheap-a$$ and get me some JBA's as well...that way, I'll be as cool as Ronin!!!

Revo1 · 09-19-2010, 02:20 PM

ZOMG!!

Holy cow dude, that thing's a screamin demon... can't wait to hear it up close!

Ronin_2SS · 09-19-2010, 05:46 PM

thanks guys for all the support. well so far after driving it for a few days its really is a head turner. no codes at all. really loud as usual lol. it even louder than my buddies built LS6 c5 vette.

i get alot of people asking me if its some kind of "special edition" camaro

most likely due to my custom LS3 badge in the back and perhaps the way it sounds. Im really happy with it. ill work on a more detailed video in the next couple o days so stay tuned

2010 4 DW · 09-20-2010, 02:16 PM

That sounds GREAT!

The JBA mids are by far the best bang for the $$$ as I have seen LS3 cars doing over 400rwhp with no headers.

SILVER BULLITT · 09-21-2010, 02:29 AM

nice sound dude

mikeSS · 09-21-2010, 02:34 AM
