I would be curious on how accurate dyno numbers would be if the motor hasn't broken in yet. I do like it that there are still temp tags on it lol

I don't understand why all these fabricators are making the tips stick out so far? Very nice work otherwise. Would love to see an angled rectangular tip to fill the opening. Not a fan of simple round tips with the car's overall design.

While I do very much like the fabrication skills that went into this, I too would prefer a rectangular set of tips. I would also like to see a large single tip on both sides that follows the contour of the opening and retains a look that follows the designs of the car. Folks complained about the "Camaro looking" taillights and the round tips follow that train of thought.

Funny... Gen V Camaro had a fake exhaust trim mimicking what I had in mind... just executed with real tips and far less cheesy. Ignore the real tip within the fake tip.

Damn, I forgot about that set up, but did like it....too funny for sure. But as you say lose the surround and fabricate a full tip to fit the opening. Also don't stick them out and make the tip follow the contour of the diffuser and fit flush as well. Something along the lines of an AMG C63 maybe.

Heat shielding?

Yes, the exhaust looks pretty, but really.

Best sounding one so far! Doesn't sound like a beat up truck going down the street like some others I have heard.

That's the exotic car sound I was looking for. Great job, can't wait to hear more sounds ripping down the road and dyno.

Pull those tips in an inch or so and that’s gonna be tough to beat any any price point and any additional amount of development time. That sounds great.

Agree with others, best sounding one yet, but those tips are too far out

Fantastic sound... probably because it has the largest and smoothest X-pipe we’ve seen to date.

1. Are the muffler cans Burns Stainless?

2. is the system 3”?

3. What’d you do with the AFM and NPP valves to avoid codes?

Sounds great, tips in one picture sit too far out other than that spot on.

Best sound to date. Do you still have the option for "quiet mode" when wanted?

I couldn’t agree more! We want it to sound like a performance car! From inside the car it sounds amazing in my opinion. No crazy drone on the highway or at low RPMs. Now with that said, we are going to test high flow cats and then even cat delete(for the track racers) just to see sound and HP comparisons. We will share all R&D with you guys so stay tuned.
