Default Finally got an exhaust video of the SS

Here you guys , finally got around to make a video of the exhuast. Exhaust is Magnaflow mufflers, hogan catless downpipe, and recently deleted the resonator and u-bend. Tell me what you guys think.

sounds good. im sure its just the camera that you used that make it sound like a kazoo when you rev it. cameras never do exhausts justice unless theyre half decent.

I really like the deep tone. The camera microphone can't handle it, lol. The Max Flows I'm getting are similar to Magnaflows. I'm encouraged about how my exhaust will turn out based on your results. What size piping are you using throughout the system? Did you just use the stock plumbing?

It seems like the community has fractured since gmls4 came online. The same thing happened to the ls4 section on grandprixforums.net when everyone there started posting here.

The camera really doesn't do it justice. I've heard the car and rode in the car and it sounds pretty damn good. There's NO drone inside the car either which was kinda shocking.

i can tell its the camera, but it does sound good ... i bet the lack of cat is the biggest difference in sound level or actual sound note ...

i wish i could do it, but to have to swap them in and out for emissions is just too much of a bitch

THANKS !! Actually I noticed the biggest difference in sound level when I removed the resonator, I dont have to worry much about emissions every year one of my buddies hooks me up to pass it.
