New owner of a 2007 CTS-V Hey guys,
I just purchased an 07 CTS-V. It was a highway car so its got some miles on it, but I got it for a great deal.
Anyways, Im new to the LS2 and what not. Not looking to drag race it, but I do want to give a bit more kick.
Any suggestions.
I am coming out of a 450 RWHP '01 Trans Am (still have it). I want a better sounding exhaust... definately DO NOT want anything like my Loudmouth. Need this one a bit quieter.

welcome.
i am sitting at 357/370 to the wheel, and my mod list is in my tread called Dyno Run. the car is very quiet at cruising speed, but sounds very nice when i am banging through the gears. to get to 450, you will be looking at some work, but even at 357/370 the car will hs some great pick up.

Thanks.
Yeah, I do not want 450 RWHP to the ground.... yet. This car will be my daily driver and I will take out clients in it.
I will check out your thread.

On my 06, the 2 in/2 out muffler was removed and straight pipes put in their place.
The resonators at the rear were removed and a pair of Flowmasters were welded in.
Deep, throaty rumble. No annoying resonance like I had with LTs in my old TA street car.
Having said all that, I am considering installing an "X" where the muffler used to be.

ya, in my car I have the drone from around 1500-2000, but under or over that nothing, I have put new mufflers on it, and put an xpipe in there....I would be thrilled if I could get rid of the drone, but not sure if I want to take the time and money to do it

Congtrats!! Welcome to the club. These guys are great fun and help. What color combo did you get? I think we are going to try and organize another presence for Houston Cars & Coffee in Oct or Nov.
