Thank you, That's what I needed to know

It is aggressive but not crazy. Especially just the cat back. You can listen to the radio and carry on a conversation without raising your voice.

You've heard both, what's your opinion.
Solo Mach xl or Sw.
Can the SW be made to fit with the gfx square bumper outlets in the fascia?

I prefer the Stainless Works. There is a version specifically for the GFX.

Stainless Works Retro Chambered installed over the weekend. It is mated to Stainless Power 1-7/8" Long Tubes with off road pipes. I changed the piping to have a true 3" connection as well. Sounds really great to me. I got the sound I was expecting. It has some drone around 2K RPM, but nothing unbearable. Many have noted that it has no rasp and isn't too loud.

Can anyone speak to drone from the inside compared to the Borla ATAK? (I have longtubes with cats and am fine with how loud the ATAK is but there is a 200 RPM or so range where it is pretty brutal inside.

Some people have reported slight drone but I have never personally experienced any. A while back I did a road trip in a SS equipped with headers and the Retro Chambered and we tried every gear and RPM combo we could and couldn't make it drone.

Mines not bad.......with the top down.

However, with the top up if I am not careful I get the cold stare from the wife..."Really?"

The problem I have is I LOVE the idle.
