Default Possible new exhaust system for LS4...

Hey guys,

I emailed Steve at Solo Performance exhaust Near Buffalo NY about making a kit for our cars and he said it is possible if he had a car to work with and do test fitments, I would go but I'm too far. These guys make a kit that sounds awesome on G8's, if you haven't heard them before check out the link below. If your near Buffalo NY go get this done so we can have another exhaust option for our cars!

For the two guys near Buffalo NY, are there any updates? I told Steve at Solo that you guys would contact him and he said he hasn't heard anything.

I'm going to assume in the $750-$850 range. That's what the g8 kits run, and I will say build quality and sound is amazing. Customer support is top notch as well

No pricing yet, he said he needs a car first for test fitting so if anyone near Buffalo NY has an LS4 car go there and set this up for us. I'm thinking it will be closer to $600-650 since our exhaust isn't as extensive as a G8's. At least I'm hoping...

I have not looked at Magaflow prices in a while, but If i re-call correctly isn't the Magnaflow system cheaper then that price? Whats the incentive for guys thinking of going the Magnaflow route?

There is no pricing yet, I'm just guessing. I've seen the Magnaflow kit go for between $550-$850 Solo needs a car to test fit and sound test, if I was closer I would go. Incentives... 3 different sound levels available between muffler options, no drone, and something different than everyone else.
