Default Bypass exhaust?

Anybody know who makes this exhaust? Not sure what the cans are doing other than perhaps kill drone. It's stupid loud with long tube's and catless xpipe.

Thanks!

I wish the sound claims were as advertised. I think long tubes and no cats with an MS3 cam it all goes out the window.

Yup, you're basically straight piped.

I can't imagine driving that around for much more than about 5 minutes of fun at a time.

I highly recommend the Corsa Sport or touring type muffler setup.

If you want it way quieter but still sound good, maybe look around for a used Titanium system from a Z06.

Yeah, the mufflers in that style exhaust are just resonance chambers, not going to quiet anything.
You could add some bullet mufflers up where the cats would have been and knock the sound down some.

I went from Corsa touring (which are awesome) to TIs with headers. I've had almost all of the aftermarket exhausts on my cars at one time or another. TIs are getting pricier all the time now.

I have LT and catless x pipes to Magnaflow mufflers. The previous owner put them on and they sound fantastic. I never hear anybody on this forum talking about Magnaflow. The shop that installed them did a great job. Perfectly symmetrical and rock solid.
