The mufflers are the LS mufflers from Stainless Works, they make them right here in Ohio! There is a little bit of a drone right around 1700 rpm, cruise RPM with 3.55's is around 22-2500 depending on the speed limit, therefore no drone noises at cruise speeds.
In the video I had some bad speaker feed back.....what is really impressive is that the car is fairly quiet even with the 3" pipes but, when you push the fun peddle down it really wakes up!

I picked up the wagon yesterday. Before I post the results let me recap what I have. 2005 L-33 engine (5.3) connected to a 4L60E transmission. I am running a LS6 intake, stock 98 camaro injectors and mass air flow sensor. We had peak RWHP of 305 at 5700 RPM peak torque was 312 Ft/Lb @ 4250 RPM
While speaking with the tech. He stated that this set up will loose 25% HP from the fly wheel to the rear wheels. That means we are looking at around 408 HP at the fly wheel!
With the engine, ecm and transmission all working in unison together this thing is even more impressive than before! Now for some mpg testing, I'm hoping for high 20's If you are in the Ohio area I went to Hutter Performance. Located in Chardon......440-285-8467 They used to build all of the Richard Childress engines for Kevin Harvick. At the time I picked up the car they had not down loaded the dyno video, once I get it I will have it posted. I can see new tires in my near future!

Here is a quick sound bite of what the exhaust sounds like when you get into it. The 62 behind us is a carbed LS.
