If everything is stock that's not bad. Is there any drone inside while driving? Add longtubes and high flow, or no cats and it will be much louder.

Thanks. No drone while driving which is nice. High-flows would be nice but I'm not sure how much further I will be going with this car. Next year I want to get a Z/28 or ZL1.

For those who asked about fitment - if it's any indication, my son-in-law, who installed the setup kept muttering bad words from under the car about, "Yep, this is fkn Chinese.". hahaha But it did look great under there when he got done.

Here's an extended version in a big parking lot of a closed up shopping center:

Thanks for the videos and for the price it’s not bad if you just want a budget exhaust.

You do know that a simple muffler change will make it all bettah!

rdanzel · 01-21-2020, 12:34 AM

That's a nice cheap exhaust. I like the sound.

Danial · 01-23-2020, 12:35 AM

Holy crap. Son-in-law sleeved the mufflers about 50% today and the sound coming out of this budget exhaust is now nothing short of frickin awesome. I'll post a new vid this weekend.

I think these systems are great. Yeah, they probably use very thin walled Chinese steel, but you are getting an entire 3 inch catback for an incredible price. The only complaint I have seen from these types of systems is that the exhaust is typically not loud enough.

I would buy this just for the pipes and replace the mufflers with my own choosing. Then you have a 3 inch polished stainless exhaust that sounds exactly like what you want.

Sounds great Danial. If you want more volume just swap those mufflers out with something different. This should be a piece of cake for any competent muffler shop or yourself. You will have to find some new tips but no big deal, right?

I am not familiar with 'sleeving'. Is it like hollowing out a muffler or similar? Looking forward to the new video. Glad you are happy.

The wall thickness is actually pretty good - within ANSI standards for tubing. But yeah, there was definitely not enough volume so what my son-in-law did was to put a sleeve (piece of smaller tubing) through part of the muffler so that exhaust would by-pass part of the sound-reducing material in it. It's like partially straight-piping part of the muffler.

Oh ok. That makes sense to me now.

It so crazy that these exhaust systems can sell for this price and that there is still room for profit. Makes you look at the $1200+ cat backs quite differently.

I agree. I can't brag that I have a Borla or Corsa mounted underneath but I do like the sound. And man it sounds good. Looking forward to posting that video tomorrow.
