I have them and think they're great! Sound and performance wise they are the best mod I've done so far! I had them installed at Solo's local muffler shop here in Buffalo before the group buy as a test vehicle. No problems with install and no CEL codes! I have about 800 miles on them now!

I installed the Solo High Flow cats on my L99. Took a while but mainly because I had to make a few runs to the store to get things I didnt have and didnt know I needed to start with. If the O2 sensors come off easy the rest is not tough at all.

I just installed mine this morning, The hardest thing about the install is unplugging the O2 sensors and plugging them back up. It took me about 2 1/2 hrs in my garage. They are definitly worth the money, They sound great and you can feel the extra power.

They can get kindof loud during acceleration even with stock exhaust. They dont drone while cruising though.

I have the Mach-X and after installing the Solo cats I can say that the sound is incredible, if you like it loud! It definatly is louder at WOT but at idle and low revs not much different. My wife doesn't seem to mind as long as I take it easy when she's with me!

I installed set myself. They fit great and no problems with the sensors. Mine has the stock exhaust and it is louder with the cats, how it should have sounded from the factory. It actually sounds good enough that I am going to keep the exhaust stock.

I'm just worried my wife will hate them when I get them and have to take and hit on ebay and sell them. Do they sound like the videos, because she does not like them on the videos. Do they sound like the solo mach x just a little louder or is it more like the videos that were posted.

My wife really likes the way they sound with the stock exhaust, I also have a Roto-Fab CAI that makes it sound louder than ussual. But they sound good, I wouldn't think your wife would mind. They are louder outside the car than in it.

I just put mine on yesterday. Thanks to Steve at Solo for the great deal!!! So far so good, love the more aggressive tone. I have Airraid intake, Solo Cats and Magnaflow Street series cat back exhaust. Did the exhaust first back last June and was way to mild but didn't want to buy another exhaust so then the intake and helped out once at about 3K RPM's but now with the Solo cats, the car sounds great all the time! Love the new tone and no drone and barely noticable at cruising speeds. Highly recommend

I have the Borla S type cat back system on my LS3. Has anyone added Solo cats to a system like this. Borla doesnt make cats so I cant go that route.
