L99 Solo Mach XL catback ? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I am looking into the Solo Mach XL catback for the L99. I have been looking but I can't find the specifics on the muffler. Is it a muffler, a cross pipe, or both? is that piece any good or should I swap it for a Magnaflow x?

I just installed a magnaflow street series catback with long tube headers and they sound real deep, and the street series has resonators for the L99 so virtually no drone and deep rumble

I run the mach xl and love it. I ran it with stock manifolds, High flow cats and now long tubes with high flow cats and it sounded great with all three setups. It consists of a resonated x-pipe and j-pipes and it does not drone.

I too am a proud user of the Solo exhaust. I just have the axle-back but plan to add the X-pipe they sell. You could go that route if your looking to save money. The axle-back around $500 and the X-pipe is like $160. Cheaper than the full cat-back but if I had the money I would have went with the complete exhaust.

The axle back sounds good as well but there is a difference, I believe the axle back has mufflers where as the mach xl has no mufflers

It has J-pipes because its for a L99 but other than that I believe there just straight pipes to my stock resonator.

Sounds like the same system then except for the x-pipe. That explains why they have that same deep growl.

The full kit includes a mufler looking thing just not sure what it is.

That's the resonated x-pipe

Not so. I have the Solo axle backs on my L99 SS. It's a muffler delete kit
with J-Pipes. It's drone free and has a great deep agressive sound.

You're right, that was also pointed out by the siftchancelor.

I have the Solo muffler delete with an X-pipe and love it.

I Just installed the Solo Catback with SP long tubes and cats, I love it. Sounds great when you get on it but nice and subdued when cruising. perfection

Thats the setup I have but with no cats and the stock resonator instead of the Solo X-pipe. Do you have a clip of the sound? I'd like to hear the full cat-back.
