Looks very similar to the GMPP "off road" version. But the exhaust tips are different.

Ltdodge · 08-01-2009, 06:39 PM

yup...i see that now......

jpsuperman81 · 08-01-2009, 06:44 PM

They are probably identical, borla makes the GM ones too. i love the bowtie tips but you can get the borla for at least a $100 less, most of the time. Glad they look good though because the borla s type is what I ordered to go with my ARH longtubes.

Ltdodge · 08-02-2009, 03:24 PM

ok here is the video...the video kinda sucks though

Jeffro19 · 08-02-2009, 05:55 PM

So how is the install? How long did it take you? I am assuming you just cut off the factory mufflers where the pipe is straight for the borla to fit on?

Does the instructions tell you where to cut? Thanks!

GMtothecore · 08-02-2009, 06:00 PM

Very nice looking and sounding....I'll be happy with the GMPP off roads for sure.

Yes, the instruction will tell you exactly where to cut.
You have to cut the stock exhaust just over 1'' from the muffler weld. Then you carefully pull the stock mufflers and tips out (thats the hardest part because of the rubber hangers). Then you put the new mufflers and tips on. The kit will come with clamps that connect the new axle back with the stock exhaust.

I paid $40.00 to have a local transmission/exhaust shop install my GMPP axle back - which installs the same way. They took their time and did a very careful job not to scratch the tips or car. It took them about 35 minutes.

It sounds very very similar to my GMPP "off road" axle back. So I'm pretty sure they're using the same mufflers.
Its got a low tone that's fairly aggressive, but not too loud.

i rolled my car up on jack stands and cut them myself.....took me about 30 minutes.. the most important thing is get a new metal blade for the sawzall...I started with a blade and could not cut it, ended up going to ace hardware and picking up new blades, then it cut it like butter...
