Official UpstateC5 Thread

So who is going to show this Sunday out by Albany? Spike/us? That's it?

[Nate GM]

Thanks, and I'll know by tonight whether or not I could make it this Sunday.

[Badger]

I'm in for Sunday if the target number of cars is reached

[SSTOKED]

Anybody in this club have the Borla S-type axle back exhaust on their SS? Is it worth the $600? I would like my car louder and deeper sounding but not crazy loud.

[Ron_Robinson1]

I read a lot about this subject before I started modding my car.. Not sure what mods you already have either. But for the most part, if your exhaust is mostly stock I would just do a muffler delete kit...it will free up weight, sound great, and save money.. But if you have LT headers I would buy aftermarket mufflers. I will find the thread they talked about this before... A majority of the people did muffler delete. Hope this helps.

I have them on mine. They are worth the $600 as they are 304 stainless whereas most others are 409 or even cheaper. You get what you pay for. As for sound, they have a deeper rumble than stock, but can experience some drone at highway speed under 2K. At his point I also have shortie headers and HF cats. Shorties are mainly for looks, the HFs actually free up some HP as the stock cats are very restrictive. All that gives it a good deep sound at idle and gets border line obnoxious at WOT. That being said, look into Solo exhaust w/jpipes for your vert. SteelerNY has Solos on his. He can tell you what he thinks.

See I knew you could find it,but what i want to know is are you going to be there with the rest of us??????

Let me check with the Hub. We don't have plans, but I want to be sure he's up to it. At least it's close! I was there the first year. Missed it last year.

Well i'm going to the show. Ill be leaving McD in Canastota at exit 34 off thruway at 6:30 a.m. If any one want't to leave earlier to run faster just post it. 75 cruise is good for me,with one stop on the way. Nate it"s about Maximum 2hrs. from Canastota.with a stop and getting lost?????

What is your target number??

[Nate GM]

I'm just going by what google maps is telling me, which is 3 and a half hours from my house and 2 hours 53 minutes from canastota. If it's really only 2 hours then that's great. Otherwise I was thinking about staying at a hotel Saturday night.

Thanks Mark. I might be driving out to Kenmore tomorrow to get the Solo system. Thinking about it....

I think we will stop in for a bit but probably not show. That blacktop gets HOT, and no shade, if I recall. If the weather looks cloudier that day, we'll see if we can stay.

That's OK, Nate. you're new and have never followed Spike. Good luck!

Like Ron said, research. There's craploads of videos out there but you really need to hear them in person. You could have gotten an earful at Sylvan last night, LOL. Good luck.
