Well like I said before, Im still giving my new valvesprings a proper break in period. They only have maybe 100 miles on them since I put the cam in. As soon as they are good to go, I will make a better video.

Oh, sorry, I skipped the part where you said that. But definitely get another vid!

wonder if it flows the same or better than the magnaflow???? i just got a hold of cme tip and valance and have been looking to replace my current muffler (flowmaster) with the magnaflow. but this sounds good??? i have the exact same set up as you , minus the cam. but i think it will still be louder than a magnaflow. cant decide now......

Well, let me tell you...coming from someone who has owned magnaflow systems on 3 different LS1 f bodies. It has more of a raw sound than the Magnaflow, but Im not sure how much louder it is, if any at all. It is more pronounced, but the volume levels are very close. The Magnaflow has more of a smooth, exotic sound, where this is more of a raw, muscular sound. I still love Magnaflow...you cant beat it for the price As far as flow numbers, I really cant say, but I still think Magnaflow is one of the best flowing aftermarket systems on the market

Did you have a Magnaflow cat-back on this prior? If so, why did you switch?

For the third time children, the car will be DRIVEN when the new valvesprings have had a chance to properly break in. So, you will get your revs soon enough tough guy. I just posted this as a first impression, and as stated in the very first post, I will be making a new video. Thanks fellas

! Jeez man, you couldn't possibly have anything else to do, go drive it already!!

J/K!!

Seriously though that is a nice sounding set up. Reminds me of my old big block Olds, which isn't a bad thing.

Notice, child, how I said "go drive the car, then make a vid." AKA get your *** out of your chair, and go drive the thing... so you can rev it and not feel bad about it

Can't wait to see the new vid.. tough guy

If you have 100 miles on it, dont you think your vavle springs have been cycled enough?

Yeah I think they have, but ever since I turned my first wrench, I have always been extra cautious. Can't go wrong that way. I have done quite a few head/cam swaps, and I've always allowed at least 200-300 miles of taking it easy. Then i change oil again and if everything is good to go, now it's time to let her out
