Somewhat manageable ?? I have Solo and there is no drone on my L99.
I've yet to hear anyone here say they have drone with a Solo system.

youtube has a lot of exhaust clips,thats how I selected my cherry bomb extremes. They are not glasspacks and only costs $400 for whole system cat-back. I love the sound.

Love my Corsa LS3 with LT's on my L99, but wish I went with Flowmaster which is louder.

I have the Borla ATAK cat back exhaust on my L99.

Looks like I'm the first with Stainless Works to chime in here.. The SW retro chambered cat back has a nice deep growl to it. I may be the first to say this about this system (from what I've read on here anyway) but I would say there is some drone with this system but only really when accelerating in the ~1.3k- ~2k rpm range but its not unbearable. Overall I'm very happy with this set up and wouldn't trade this exhaust for any other out there.

I do agree with what others have said though.. Try to hear some of these exhausts in person if at all possible.

I was referring to the AFM sound not drone. Solo is drone free but I was commenting on how I can't stand the AFM sound with any exhaust but with the Solo system it's somewhat bare-able.

I never could hear the AFM kicking in and out when my exhaust was stock on my L99. I still can't hear it now with the Solo exhaust but I know this varies from car to car.
It might have something to do with mine being an early 2010.

Tune out afm first, then choose exhaust

whats the best for performance?

Dude, if you want a muscle car sound i would recommend either Flowmasters, or MBRPs.

In my opinion they give a strong pitched tone that just screams muscle car.

I've got SLP Loudmouth 2s on my L99...but i regreted buying them from my manufacturer as my knowledge on the aftermarket grew later on

Flowmaster & MBRP = Best Sound

Agreed! No drone at all with my Solo cats and exhaust. Managing isn't even a concern... unless we're talking about managing the new found fun with uncorking my Camaro.

Same here... AFM has never been an issue for me. I've never noticed it kick in/out with my stock setup and have yet to notice it with my Solo setup. BTW, I have a late 2010.

Nevertheless, I know a lot of people here on Camaro5 are dissatisfied with AFM and how it sounds when kicking in/out.

We just completed SW headers and SW retro chambered exhaust system on my Bro-in-Law's vert. Sound is just awesome....no drone...plenty of muscle under acceleration!! Can't wait for tune!!!

Solo's are great, no issues with my J-pipes. Sound looses its raspiness after a week or so and sets in a deep tone at about 300 miles. I put on the Hi Flow Cats today and it just sounds plain ol' nasty when you get on it. Plenty of clips around - good luck. I know it took me about 2-3 months before I set out on my mod plans.
