Yeah I am away from home right now in FL, but when I get home I will take a drive by video. I would say it sounds pretty damn good though overall. It rumbles nice with regular shifting definitely sounds tough. Slight popping on deceleration at certain RPMs (which I like) but less than stock exhaust w/ muffler delete. Overall just a good sound. The mufflers are a straight through design kind of like a bullet muffler with more sound deadening (rectangle shape). I don't think anyone would be disappointed with the sound profile unless you want a more "tame" sound that a magnaflow would provide. I know that is very generalized as far as a description. It really isn't too loud at warm idle...basically as loud as a muffler delete...but it screams at WOT. I personally do like the sound of 1 chamber flows, but I am happy with the sound.

Maybe I'm missing it, but what about a Y-pipe? Is it included as well??

Bunch of pics for you guys. Cam package is on the way, but I will be out of town for work soon. I should have it installed in around 3 weeks then I will post more sound clips and some dyno numbers.

Don't know how I missed that lol. Just curious what yourccurrent mods are and if you have pre header dyno numbers to compare with or if you'll be doing 2 separate pulls

Car did 368 stock with only muffler deletes.


Car will be dyno tuned again after these mods. Hoping to get 450RW with the below before I start saving for a blower.

Manzo Full Exhaust
Tick Performance Blower Stage 2 Camshaft for LS3 & L99 Engines
227/243 | .62x”/.62x” | LSA116+6

I just finished the install yesterday; the headers and full exhaust with off-road extensions. And I was kinda disappointed with the sound level, it screams at WOT exactly how I would want it, but at idle you can barely hear it when it warms up which surprised me with it being a pretty much straight through design and no cats. This exhaust has almost no drone what so ever which disappointed me also because I like to hear a little bit of exhaust tone when I'm cruising, but I'm sure others will like the non drone. Overall it's a great exhaust for the money, I would suggest it to anyone who wants a full exhaust system and not break the bank.

Just bypass the mufflers dude

Most people will want less drone and a lower sound profile at warm idle. A muffler place can weld in 3 inch pipe instead of the mufflers for pretty cheap.....or put some 1 chamber flows in place of the mufflers that came with it. I might eventually buy some 1 chamber knock offs and have them put in place of the mufflers in the kit.

If you can get to the area with a torch and heat it up real good, you can dent it with a large punch or even a pry bar without taking the header off.

Already took off the driver side header and heated it up with a torch/dented it. It needed to be red hot to dent and it still took 15 mins repeatedly heating/hammering with a round object to get a half inch indention.

Could u link that clip. Would like to hear it. Tried
Searching for it with no luck.

You could have loosened the motor mounts and trans mount and shifted them over. There is some side to side adjustment available.
