I sent you a private message by the way. Thanks

I think you mean the 'muffler delete' (not the cat delete) and yes, you definitely want the muffler delete version. Their are mixed thoughts on how the retro-chambered affects the turbo system, but I know of a mustang that has the same Hellion turbo system I do. Turbo system with 3" retro-chambered exhaust dyno'd at 78 RWHP LESS than with the stock 2.5" exhaust!!!! I wasn't going to take that chance.

Should be zero cost difference! If you buy it, verify in writing that you are receiving the CA12CB-FML version!!! The FML means muffler delete.

The meanest, I mean absolutely MEANEST setup I have ever heard in my life was a Whipple Cobra Terminator (2003) with the Borla Atak set up...

I think they were 3 inch exhaust too... ugh... I wish that there was a tone that loud but kept the same DEEP tone.

The Retro Chambered is louder and deeper than the ATAK for the Camaro. It is also 3". Forced induction really makes a good exhaust sound amazing.

What size are the tips on the retro chambered?

If the LS3 is the same as the L99, then CA12CB.

The only thing that turns me off about SW is that all of their mufflers have louvered cores and not smooth, straight through cores.

ChocoTaco369 · 05-29-2015, 04:15 PM

IMO they sound absolutely nothing alike. Borla has a sound all its own. A sound I absolutely can't stand. I think Borla is the worst sounding of the exhausts, but that's just my personal opinion. Corsa is like that as well, a very unique sound you'll either love or hate. The SW Retro I really like, and I like the fact you can get it with quad tips. That alone would be my selling point, but I'm blessed with NPP which IMO is the greatest exhaust of them all.
