This sure is a long thread over something relativley simple and minor. I know we all like a throaty exhaust sound. Love my magnaflow and have it on all three of my cars. Caverman, when you adjust the tailpipes be sure you do not go forward too much. Several owners that did muffler deletes or axel back etc went short of factory tailpipe location and scortch/blistered the rear plastic facia. A little protruding, like factory, looks just right anyway. Glad you finally got your Red Camaro. As a side tip you might want to buy your products from the individual that will install the product. This gives you much satisfaction if rattles or problems appear later. Friendship is a two way street. Good Luck

I own a Magnaflow Cat Back system on my SKY Redline and the sound changed a lot over 3 years and is to the point of droning on the highway now. I will be replacing it with a SOLO system when I get up some bucks. I am NOT a fan of Magnaflow after my experience. As for a lifetime warrantee, SOLO backs their product 100%. Warrantee's are BS anyway, To make a warrantee claim for my Magnaflow, I have to take the system down after 3 years and wait for it to ship two ways and then put it back up. In the meanwhile I cannot use my car. These are just my opinions as a consumer.

Why doesn't anyone sell the straight pipes for anyone who wants to do a muffler delete?

They do....go look at the SLP Loudmouth axle-back. It's in the $400 range if you want to go that route. It's cheaper to have a muffler shop do it but you can do it yourself if you want.

Got the car back from the other muffler shop and I am very pleased with what they did. Not real pleased I had to pay another $175 to fix the original mistakes but that stuff happens sometimes.
The tips are done to the correct length this time. They re-adjusted the pipes coming out of the X-Pipe because there was only about ¼” clearance between the exhaust and the brace under the car…now there is almost ½” clearance. They also used a sawsall to make the clean cuts. In one of the pics I had him take you can see the ragged edges inside the old pipe section. No more torched ends! You can also see where the rear cat was replaced with straight pipe. In the video you can’t really hear a difference but in person I can definitely tell. It isn’t blatantly obvious but it is louder and it was noticeable to me immediately. It also seems to rev up a little faster to me…..nothing over the top but definitely noticeable. Inside the cabin it’s perfect to me for a daily driver….a bit louder but pretty much perfect for my taste. You can hear the exhaust even if the radio it turned up a little bit. I definitely like the cat removal and would recommend it if you have the opportunity. That part cost me $125….and I’m sure someone is going to ask but the answer is “No….there is no check engine light or anything at all”. I did not have to tune my car....it's still on the factory GM tune. You can see the rear sensor right in front of the piece that was cut out. The rear cats aren’t monitored at all. I am very pleased with this setup and would recommend it to anyone. Parts $175 + $175 labor (what it would’ve cost at the new shop) + $125 for cat delete…..total should’ve been around $475. Use the factory tips and it would’ve been around $375 for everything. If you’re in the DFW, TX area I will be at the upcoming meets for others to hear in person. Come on Spring weather!

I was only able to go down to a dead end street and get some still video. Later this week the weather is supposed to get better so I hope to grab a friend and do some more in-cabin and drive by videos.
TommyTSquared…..I hit a couple 4k + revs just for you.

Do you get any popping on deceleration? How is the drone inside around 2k?

As far as drone.....I don't hear any but maybe I'm not understanding what everyone is considering drone. When I take some in-cabin videos (hopefully this weekend) I'll try to get it up on the highway and put it into 6th and get it around the 1.8k-2K RPM range. I peronally like this setup a lot. I'm sure LT Headers and a 3" system is probably going to sound better but in the mean time and for the money this is a very good in-between system.

I like the way it Sounds. Especially when you downshift like in your other videos and punch it. That Gargle is in both the Manual and the Automatic at Start up. |

I have an LS3/M6. Next week I will be doing the MD (as well as removing the resonators) while adding Magnaflow resonated x-pipe and keeping the factory tips. I keep flip-flopping about going with the tru-X instead. Seems like everyone doing this has an L99.
Anyone with an LS3 know which would be better, tru-X or resonated X??? |
