Never heard of it or seen it used by anyone. Subscribing out of curiosity.

BTW, if you're looking for a nice cheap catback, check out the TSP Rumbler as well. Kinda wish I had it instead of my SLP dual-dual, it's a little too quiet for my liking.

This looks like a better deal than the Rumbler because it comes with a real muffler. I bet it sounds pretty good. Looks like a Dynomax welded muffler.

I use it because at first i wanted a daily exhaust that wasnt too loud for the long trip to work. It is a very conservative exhaust sound compared to the other catbacks out there. The only thing i wish i had done was cut and weld the stock tips. I'm going to run cutouts anyway. Also this exhaust will not get your *** pulled over like the other exhausts my friends use on thier fbodies.

I did that almost a year ago, for even cheaper, but not everyone wants to piece their setup together...and alot of people don't like the single tailpipe, which is why mine is gone.

Interesting. I have yet to even see an LS1 catback from Summit or Jegs. And its really cheap too. It wouldnt hurt to give it a whirl. Im with TUFAS4U, it may be a dynomax setup sold as something else for $$ saving

the sound is very respective. it is quiet at idle and about 3k up it has a clean sound. on a rate from 1-10 of loudness it would be about a 5 or 6. since the car is not my daily anymore i am actually putting a hooker muffler and tips on today. the only problem i have with it is adjusting the hanger over the axle. when the car is cold it will rattle over the axle. aside from that everything fit the way it should. i would rec welding the tips and not using the hose clamps provided.
