Default Exhaust Video: Pacesetters and Cutouts


Side Note: Noticed they split it up? Gen I, Gen II, Gen III sections of CTS-V separate now.

Thanks. LS3 Top end (Milled LS3 heads 0.010, BTR LS3 Stg2 NA cam, BTR valvetrain, LS3 intake manifold), Headers, Cutouts.

CS 8.8 and car is getting prepped for spray. Should run 11s once I finish what I have over here.

Nice. Based on the flames I see you have your cutouts in the same place I do. And Based on the audio distortion, that must be loud as fock.

What kind of rwhp with the ls3 top end?
Was it worth it going ls3 top end?

Yeah, got em right after the diff, before the muffler. I like the placement. I feel its the best spot. Still on stock exhaust too. Mufflers, resonator, etc. Its decently loud but I've heard louder for sure.

Low\Mid 400s NA. I felt it was just because car had 140k on it, so it made sense to change lifters, etc. Could have gone more aggressive on the cam, but wanted something DD-able as well as something that wouldn't be an issue with PTV clearance. LS3 heads flow pretty well cfm-wise for the pricing. Had em milled to increase compression, since swapping the 243s on the LS2 to the LS3 heads is a small loss in compression.
