Default Budget Exhaust

2 Stainless Steel Magnaflow mufflers, free 4 inch tips from Chevy SSR, H pipe.

total Cost $335

Sounds perfect! zero drone, almost stock sounding at cruise speeds.

Default Budget Exhaust

this is what I'm looking for!
Do you have part numbers for the mufflers, tips ...etc?
Did a local shop do the work? Did they fab an H-pipe?

Any info appreciated.

Middle resonator was cut out, Exhaust shop fabricated an H Pipe to replace it.

The mufflers are 2.5inch offset inlet to 2.5inch center outlet. 18 inch body.

Part # 11256

The tips the shop had from a stock Chevy SSR exhaust that a customer left behind. They were cut off from the stock mufflers and i got them for free.

Looks good! I think this is what i'll do! Mine had NO mufflers and an X pipe welded in when I got it. I'm thinking when I ditch the kitties with LT's its gonna get a little bit louder.

you need an offset muffler for the CTS-V it would be very hard to install a straight through version.
