Exactly! You get to have the initial excitement of getting your car out and then after it starts to fade in a few weeks slap on some high flow cats and keep the buzz going.

I have another project car that is getting VERY jealous of this new Camaro... I'm afraid if I park them in the garage together for the winter they might not get along.

Got my solo high flows on (with my old mrt v2) sounds a little louder and sounds better at idle. Nothing as crazy as I was imagining, but cool. Haven't put the x pipe on yet, the shop was out of fuel for their welder. Really hope it doesn't tone it down too much, sounds really good right now

I wouldn't describe it like that, but it definitely sounds faster than it actually is lol. Nice little warble at idle

Anything performance wise that I'd benefit from putting the x pipe on, though?

Lol that's a beautiful description. I'll have to figure this out then. I already paid for the install so I'd have to get a refund on that plus figure out if I can return this to apex motorsports

Looking forward to a video!
