SS takeoff

[VaeVictus]

Will a takeoff of a SS Camaro be worth the 110 bucks the muffler shop is offering to install it for? Will it make a difference at all?

does this come with the I pipe or without. if its with then you will notice a difference if not no it wont help much.

SLP used to sell an SS rear section (muffler and tips only) for 100 bucks, right off of SS Camaros. They advertised a 10-12 horsepower gain proven by dyno testing. I bought one 4 years ago and have had it on since. I noticed a definite difference in seat of the pants and about 10 rear wheel horsepower with a g-tech. I installed it myself with a pipe cutter and using stainless muffler clamps. It's an easy install.

And you know this how? I have it on my car. I purchased it from SLP. I still have the box.

10 rwhp is what the [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img] is comming from. there is no possible way to gain 10 RWHP from a muffler.

My catback gave me more than that, I think 10rwhp is very reasonable on a car with a bit of the bolt-ons. Our stock mufflers are VERY VERY restrictive.

Well sees how much I know. That seems to be quite a bit. oh well

Think about it for a minute. I had the stock dual-tip exhaust for a 3.8L. The inlet was only 2" and both tail pipes were 2". The SS muffler has 2.75" inlet and dual 2.75" inlet . It is definitely less restictive because it adds horsepower to an LS1 from Z28 flavor to SS. Now the Z28 muffler wouldn't add too much, maybe 5 horses, but the SS does, I know it first hand.

Hey Silver99

This is pretty much exactly what I had in mind but you are the first one I have seen actually do it... I am very interested in how it sounds??? Please tell me it's not ricey!!

Let me know man.. later

[BLLDOGG]

hes not the first one.

It sounds very good. At low RPM and idle it's very deep, sounds like a V-8. Driving around it's sounds very nice, and when you open it up it roars without the rice sound. The only time it sounds ricey is revving with no load...then it gets ugly. It's loud, but not nearly as loud as a Flowmaster, or other aftermarket mufflers. It's worth it.
