Mbrp exhaust

Will a mbrp exhaust off a l99 convertible fit my ls3 coupe? What's the difference between the two exhaust?

The difference is the ls3 system has an X pipe and the L99 is a resonated h chamber. Yes, it will fit.
I had the X pipe and toned it down some by replacing the midsection with the resonated h.

When I talked to MBRP they told me that is the only difference between the two catback systems.

+1. The LS3 system is louder of the too. Guys planning on running headres will ususally order the L99 version to keep the volume down some.

X pipe and headers with the MBRP isn't that loud below 3k. Much less so than other catbacks like an ATAK. An h pipe would be too quite for my taste.

That's why it's loud then. Makes a pretty big difference. H pipe sounds like a good idea if people don't like it loud and running catless.

I want this exhaust. I have headers with cats and just had a cam installed. I have a LS3 and I am not sure which one to get either the LS3 or L99.

I don't have a video driving but the video is headers with MBRP x piped catback. I hope I can get a video driving someday when I get friends. Lol

Yes. Usually between 65-70. I don't mind it being my weekend warrior.
