I love the CTS-V. But I never understood the logic behind making a luxury car loud. Luxury super cars, like this one, are supposed to be quiet and fast. Sort of a sleeper. This loudness defeats what they were built for, if you ask me. Just my opinion though.

Makes sense, but this is a performance car built by GMs performance division. It has a stiff suspension for handling....not an air ride on an eldorado.

I guess if you ever drove a cammed CTS-V and got 5 WTF looks a day you would understand.

Sorry, didn't mean to come by and trash talk on this thread. I know the CTS-V has a performance suspension. But it's not exactly a sport's car suspension where it's hard and rigid, from what I've heard and read, it's more tuned to be on the European playing level. Ride quality, comfort, and excellent handling combined. That's what I thought anyhow.

You might be surprised at how quite they still are on the inside, while creating havoc on the outside!

I have to agree with itsslow...I ran stock exhaust for the first 6 months or so and would get the occasional glance or thumbs up. All I have done to the exhaust is muffler delete and gutted cats and I bet someone comments on the way it sounds or "I didn't know Cadillac made a stick shift car" or "WTF kind of exhaust is that?" "Does that have the Vette engine?". It is surprisingly quiet inside unless you're beating on it. I could only imagine the looks and comments a car that sounds as BADASS as this one gets.

Why not? I had cat back only on the V and that was boring, I put headers on the V and that got boring...next step was a cam. Now its perfect.

I would say the v4 or vX cam would be perfect if you wanted to make good power. All SNL's cams were designed for our heavy *** cars.

I went with the v2 because it is a bit smaller and better for my daily driving. If you give SNL Performance a call they will let you know which of their cams is best...either way you cant go wrong.

I agree, it draws a lot of attention.
