LS3 and L99 Exhaust compatible? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Did a search with those keywords and nothing came up, so before anyone flames me.

Will one work on the other? Are they the same?

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes.

VADR_H8R · 11-24-2011, 01:03 PM

I could have sworn the L99 exhaust was completely different.

SSTG · 11-24-2011, 01:05 PM

That is what I thought I remembered reading once upon a time. But....
Someone will confirm

The stock exhaust systems are different but follow the same "path". Aftermarket systems generally fit both unless otherwise noted. What systems are you looking at?

SSTG · 11-24-2011, 01:15 PM

Thanks Chase. I sold The Borla ATAK Axel back I got from you and need to replace them.
Got any Black Friday deals on Flowmaster catback for GFX?

here is the pic I was referring to... but if your wanting to go the aftermarket route I do think they will work on either engine because their paths are indeed similar

SSTG · 11-24-2011, 02:18 PM

No, I am talking about stock. But I am not against an aftermarket system.

The resonator on the L99 exhaust is massive to deal with the AFM noise. Both should fit though although I see no point in replacing one with the other if you're looking for sound or weight savings. You can get a budget exhaust like cherry bomb or something along those lines for not much money.

Yes, the stock catback exhausts ARE interchangeable...No they are not the same. The LS3 exhaust is a pretty conventional exhaust because it's a pretty conventional V8...the L99 exhaust has a different setup in it to avoid having the car sound "weird" when AFM is on.

L99 has a resonated x pipe setup and LS3 has an H pipe. I had both on my L99 and they perform different as well. You can feel the delay in flow with the stock H pipe on an L99 vs the L99 resonated x pipe setup. Don't put H pipes on L99s.

What if you turn off your AFM?

I think you would be fine. Again, the only difference is the resonator on the L99 when AFM kicks in. If you turn AFM off then I don't see why you would have to worry about having the resonator.
