I like the "Nevermind" part.

Josh, check out Solo Performance. I think you'll like what you find. They've done more homework on drone commercially than just about anyone (besides Corsa) and their customer service/relations can not be beaten. By anybody. Fact.

I'd much rather forget about both "george w's" ... but that's a whole 'nother argument and I'd rather not be reminded of the

Carry on, folks.

With respect to the question posed earlier:

The J-pipes are currently in production by SOLO for V6 camaros. If it's found that adding HF cats or headers to a V8 camaro introduces drone (quite possible) then I'm sure that SOLO will then consider offering their stainless J-pipe solution to V8 customers as well. As far as I'm aware, both the L99 and LS3 V8 camaro kits do not come with J-pipes, as for the catback system does not drone from what I've heard. Again, add other modifications to the car, and it might. And if it does, then SOLO will come out with a worthy solution for it!

Exactly! Individually the Solo cat back will not drone, as well as individaully the high flow cats won't drone. Put them together and you will get some drone due to the combination of higher flow and louder volume! I get drone, not too bad but noticable, at 1800-2000 rpm in 4th and 5th gears especially going uphill and loading the engine. At highway cruising 60-75 mph no drone at all just a nice low rumble. Solo has done a great job engineering their systems for no drone and seem to be dedicated to working with customers with ANY issues! I can't say enough about the guys at Solo! I'm looking forward to working with them on designing a j-pipe for the Camaro LS3!

Peanut Gallery much? Nobody was talking to you.

No, I don't mind if you "troll" the topic.

Let's get back to killing "drone".

Hopefully meeting with Jeff at Solo next week to take some measurements and look at designing a j-pipe for the LS3! I'll report back!

Congrats to ssmike for doing something positive to solve a problem.
Good things are about to happen.

ssmike · 09-01-2010, 06:27 PM

I just have to find time around my work schedule to get in to meet with Jeff. I'm out of town almost every week lately so it makes it tough! Hopefully within the next 2 weeks!

Mike, I can "borrow" your car for the day...

All in the name of research, of course!

j/k. Glad to see that you are working on your schedule to help out this issue!

Yeah, but did it work when he put it on his Volt? Probably just hummed.
