Many have confused the AFM issues with drone. Some of the aftermarket exhausts do have drone, but many do not. But all the aftermarket exhausts have a distictive difference in sound when the AMF kicks in (and this can be very annoying to many owners).

The only way to not have the AFM issue (that I know of) is to retain the stock L99 exhaust (because its so quiet), or get the AFM tuned out.

And as mentioned, once you add longtube headers, the AFM transition noise is multiplied.

That is a nice simple clarification!

I guess as always it is a matter of give and take...........better fuel consumption numbers = 4 cylinder traits. I wish GM would give you a choice. Has anyone with the L99 asked the dealer if they can turn it off? (I really haven't read the threads since I have the M6.

But, back to the SOLO System. Steve you guys are also offering this kit with the rectangular tips for the ground effects package right? Just curious.

We have a solution for the ground effects kit. We will include two extra sections of straight pipe, and two rectangular tips that work well in the GFX outlets. When your shop installs the kit, the tips can we welded into place in the spot that you please. This is what the extra sections of straight pipe are for. Some people like it farther in, and others farther out. This gives you the option of either.

The tips we would include look like this:

Thanks for helping us L99 owners.

I have an 07 Tahoe with AFM and a Gibson cat back dual exhaust. The Afm doesn't kick in and out as much as the Camaro but it is noticeable.That being said it's not bad at all, it actually seems to be a bit deeper in 4cyl mode. I hope the Camaro acts the same witch I can live with.

What about axle-back for GFX? That pic posted looks to be cat back

I don't think you'll be disappointed. It was my IOM used for the design and final fitting of both kits. If anyone has questions I'll answer to the best of my ability

They will also delete the tips from the axle back and supply you with the square tips for your installer to weld on, this way they can fit them perfect. Steve would have to tell you if there is any charge or not for that, but I do not think so!

Absolutely..we can assure you that the L99 kit sounds awesome. We were really happy with the results!! We are currently running a group buy on the L99 kits.

We can send you the same tips as posted (rectangular), along with some extra straight pipe. You can have your shop weld on the tips as far in or out as you would like in the GFX outlets. There is no extra charge for this. We simply do not weld on the original tips for the kit, as the rectangular ones are supplied in their place.

Is the cat-back system (non GFX) bolt-on for us do-it-yourself folks? No welding required?

Yes it is direct bolt-on...a few people have installed them in under an hour! There is no welding required for the non-GFX kits.

My car is on a train headed this way. I want to hear what it sounds like stock before making any decisions. Bolt-on was a must.

Thanks for your quick response.

Sure...when you hear the car stock, there is no doubt you are going to want to change it LOL.
