Isn't Mufflex for lack of a better word a "cheap" brand?

They sell 3.5" and 4" systems with dual exit or SOTL Exit.
IMO the 4" set up is overkill unless you have a big inch Engine
The 3.5" kit would be nice for a Heads Cam Car though.
I personally have been looking at this system as my next Catback after Cam ,Headers etc...

just go to this link. There are 3 videos of LS1 Camaros with the 4" catback on them. From the videos it sounds pretty tame and deep.

IF they made the 3.5" system in 304 stainless, with a XR1 or Magnaflow muffler (instead of the Spintech), it would be on my car now!! I LOVE that big single turndown dump pipe. It looks sooo "clean" not having anything showing at the back bumper of Camaros (besides, it's cool suprising ricers when they mistake you for a V-6 ). Not ALL of us can run true duals, dumped in front of the axle, to get this effect.

This system doesn't sound anywhere near as loud as SLP LM1. I think this catback system is WAY overkill on a basically stock LS1!

I wouldn't say its overkill, but it definetly isn't designed to be louder than a resonator style catback like the SLP LM 1s.
