It did not...it would not be accurate for us to test on a car with headers...headers usually will add about 15% volume.

Well...............just got back from Solo Performance in Mississauga where I spent the day with Jeff and his crew as the tested and tweeked their Axle-back system.
I drove there with my Corsa Cat-back system but that's not what's on the car now! It's Solo's system!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable difference. Someone asked earlier whether the test car had headers....no.....but it sure sounds like it does now!!!!!!!!!!
There is no conventional drone at all after they worked their magic tuning their J-Pipes. With the L99, still with the factory tune, the AFM/DOD effects are still present but the tone is not nearly as offensive as with the Corsa system. In all likelyhood I'll opt for tuning the AFM/DOD option out for gears 1-4 as others have done. Anyone interested in this product will NOT be disappointed! I'm sure Steve and Jeff will have the sound clips posted as soon as they can. The car won't be gleaming like all those currently sitting under their covers right now ( my car is a daily driver and we had some snow this morning and the roads were a mess) but it's the sound you're going to want to hear! We also put on their MACH-XL Cat-back system with J-Pipes, and you'll hear clips of that also. With both set-ups the interior was very quiet, unlike outside the car when you stand on it! The tone is deep and rich. I just hope that the clips posted will do the system justice, as I know that some sound clips do not necessarliy give an accurate representation.
All I can say is WOW............best 1/2 tank of gas I've burned in a long time !!!!!

We didn't quite make it to Buffalo from Mississauga Steve....back and forth enough times across the QEW that we probably would have got there if we just kept driving straight!
One thing I forgot to mention in the earlier post was how great the 4 1/2" tips look. I thought the 4" Corsas looked pretty good compared to the stockers but that extra 1/2" really fills the hole nicely.
I gotta say, I'm really having a hard time going to bed tonight (after 1:00 am my time) all I want to do is get in the car and wake up all my neighbors!
Thanks again to Steve, Jeff and the SOLO crew for the hospitality and for developing this amazing product. Nick.

Have to say that TAPSHIFT was a pretty happy boy when he got home from Solo Performance . Haven't been out in the car yet but from inside the house he gave it a little gas and it sounded terrific. We're going for a drive on Saturday and I'll get the full experience.

Here are a few teaser pictures of the revised J pipe axle back kit. This is the rough version of the kit. Look for the group buy in the next week or two.

We also have revised our Mach XL automatic cat-back kit. It, too, now has J pipes and is a completely no drone kit! We will be running a group buy on this as well

Are you going to offer an Axle back with J pipes and mufflers?

Mufflers are not needed...it would be way too quiet with both the mufflers and J pipes It sounds perfect simply with the J pipes and using the stock front section
