I have them, what do you want to know? They are the best flowing but they are the loudest as well (especially at idle).

What year is your car? LT1?

I have em. They actually seemed to be the loudest. In addition, they mate better to the LT1 exhuast than the L98 exhuast.

WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER MY HOOKER AEROCHAMBER MUFFLERS!

Actually, a couple 3" Home-Depot test plugs in the outer tips make for a reasonable street volume. On the throttle, I've been told it sounds like the devil himself going by. :reddevil

I'm not thrilled that the welds just upstream of the tips are starting to show rust. Probably my fault for getting them wet, but I'm just going to hit them with inhibitor and repaint.

I found a brand new one at a local shop for $50 :mad I guess they're worth about 700% more in pairs.

I've got them too. And yes they are loud. The rest of the system is factory 2 3/4" and they matched up well. The tips look great in my opinion.

I actually made a "glasspack" insert for the exhaust tips using heavy wire mesh and fiberglass. Takes the bite out of the noise just enough.

I still set off car alarms as I drive by them in the parking garage. :D
