Solo Mach X, MBRP, Corsa, and NPP - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

These are the exhaust I'm pretty much down to.
I picked Corsa because I ran it on my ls2 gto and loved it.
But now I am seeing a ton of reviews on Solo and Mbrp and all seem to be pretty good.
Any opinions on Solo and Mbrp since they are almost half the price. I will not be running J pipes though I think they look silly lol.
Also interested in the NPP catback.
Plan on running long tubes in the near future as well.

Solo is an excellent deep, throaty sound.

And the J pipes... highly recommended to eliminate drone... are tucked up under the car so they don't look like anything.

KickerZ71 · 11-14-2017, 07:42 PM

My vote is for solo, love the tone and no drone

pyroguy · 11-14-2017, 07:44 PM

Solo FTW!!! Also, you really don't see the J pipes unless you're under or really low on the car. Mine tuck up nicely and the only thing you see is where they're starting to come out of the main pipe and you don't see that for long. Here's my Mach XL catback with Kooks headers and high flow cats: Mach XL Catback, Kooks long tubes with high flow cats

You sold your GTO already? Remember your name recently from the ls1gto forum.

Anyway, I'll tell you that the NPP with flaps open and headers is as loud as my Spintech catback on my GTO with headers; it's essentially a muffler delete with the flaps open. Starting the car before 8am is not an option unless I want to piss off the neighbors, so if it was a DD, then I'd have to get a Forza controller to keep the flaps closed in the morning or get a quieter catback.

Another vote for Solo

GRNFLSH · 11-14-2017, 10:49 PM

I’ve been very happy with Solo.

Gunmetal Speedster · 11-15-2017, 03:07 AM

Stainless Works retro catback!

Magz_rule · 11-15-2017, 06:23 AM

Have heard all but the Corsa, my vote is for the Solo as well.

Redgt03 · 11-15-2017, 07:13 AM

I have the Solo Mach XL looks and sounds amazing with my lt headers...so that has my vote. As mentioned above you do not see the J pipes and it eliminates all drone. I highly recommend it

Yeah I traded the goat in for the Camaro, wish I could've had both but cant really swing 2 payments right now. I can get a good deal on NPP's, like a really good deal lol. I am surprised I haven't heard anything about Corsa!? When I had my GTO that was the go to for everyone.. I read on the forums from a member here that the corsa is not aggressive at all on our cars which I find very odd. It was the best exhaust on the Gto hands down and I tried 4 different setups and heard others.
I liked Mbrp because of the reviews from people that has the setup but also the price.
But it looks like Solo is the fan favorite in the Camaro Community. I just don't think I have it in to have J pipes lol I can deal with a little bit of drone, unless its really bad? which I assume longtubes and going catless it will be?

Reichler · 11-15-2017, 07:56 PM

There was never a go-to for the GTO's. Spintech, Corsa, Magnaflow, and SLP split the duties equally with Kooks, Bassani, Stainless Works, etc sprinkled in here and there.

I've been contemplating changing from the NPP to either Stainless Works or the Hooker Blackheart catback for quite sometime. My only hang-up is that the NPP is quite gnarly, and don't think I'll be happy changing to anything else.

nancygrl · 11-16-2017, 07:59 AM

I had the Solo Mach-X on my 2011 SS....Sound was really good with factory manifolds and cats, but was absolutely amazing with the Kooks LT headers & hi-flow cats..

rviper24 · 11-16-2017, 09:02 AM

I think I might go with the Solo catback, checking with vendors right now to see who will have the best price, I'm going to pair them up with either Speed Engineering Headers or Texas Speed Headers
