For the LS3 and L99, we have an axle-back. For the manual and automatic V6, we only offer the cat-backs. The compilation of sound clips that I made yesterday is in my signature...it has all of our kits and the videos that accompany them. I hope this helps.

After the initial install on the way home from Mississauga and got the same mileage (I was going a bit faster though). On my next fill up I'll check again..hopefully before it snows. But then again does it really matter -we mostly did it for the SOUND...did we not

I'll have to wait until the next tank to figure out how I'm doing for mileage. I've got 4 dyno runs on this tank plus I can't seem to keep my foot out of it now. I used to shift around 2k rpms and cruise at about 1600-1800 rpms but this new exhaust has got me keeping my foot into it up to around 4-5k plus cruising around in the 2-3k range. The sounds coming out of my car are simply awesome now!

HALFFAST · 11-19-2009, 03:36 AM

just over a quarter tank of fuel left since I reset the trip and mpg gauge on a full tank, I'll post up my mileage from the original exhaust compared to this new one which as of right now is increased despite the fact I've been driving it harder and at higher rpm just for the fact it sounds fantastic.

That's great news....we would be interested in this information also.

dagolfguy · 11-19-2009, 10:12 AM

I am doing some data captures using a device that plugs into the OBD slot and recording information for the car in it's stock form (dashdaq). I will drive the same routes and record the same stuff after I install my exhaust and see what changes.

I'm currently setup to record these parameters. If anyone has other suggestions that would tell the story better, please chime in...

Calculated "instant MPG".

Spark Advance

I got the XLT installed today and all I can say is WOW!

Okay....where to start? First of all guys, you hit the nail on the head PERFECTLY with this exhaust. It's the perfect sound for this car. At idle it's a low....yet serious moan, but when you step on the gas, even for a split second the exhaust note comes to life. It's mean sounding and anyone you come up behind is going to want to get out of the way, yet it's not obnoxious! I didn't think I could be any happier with this car, but I was wrong. The look and the sound of this exhaust has me loving this car even more than I thought I could.

I won't know about any gas mileage improvements for a while, but I can tell you that my car seemed to come alive quicker when I put my foot on the gas. With the growl you get when you do it....you just won't want to stop!

For anyone who is on the fence about getting this exhaust, get off, you won't be disappointed! I'm extremely impressed.....Steve, you and the guys there at Solo did a truly amazing job. Thank you!

Abygale,
We are so happy that you are pleased, especially being our FIRST female Camaro exhaust owner. Thanks for joining the Solo Performance family!! I can't wait to hear it when you add forced induction to the car, as I have seen that you plan on doing!!

I do plan on supercharging it Steve, I'll hopefully have one of the first supercharged V6 2010 Camaros and I'll tell everyone who made the exhaust!

Thank you for being so diligent in getting it right....you guys really nailed it!
