Nice work fellas. I respect the effort it took to make this video and I enjoyed the enthusiasm. However, my comment is as follows: The designers of the OEM muffler were not incompetent. The entire point of the suitcase style muffler is to smooth airflow underneath the car as it exits from front to rear. When you remove the suitcase muffler in place of straight pipe or standard style mufflers, you are disrupting airflow and will lose speed on the top end despite any power gain. This has been verified by GM and I also have verified on my end with lap data from my track events. I know from race track experience and I've used both the suitcase muffler as well as a straight piped setup. The handful of horsepower you pick up by removing airflow restriction is negated by losing actual speed because of the parachute at the back of the car which ruins the aero profile of the car. The real power is made at the headers. By going from the OEM shorty headers to long tubes, you will pick up as much as 40hp with a tune and as much as 15-20 with no other changes. The headers are the real restriction. Removing cats will pick up 5hp and removing the suitcase may offer another 5 or so. In the case of this video, 17hp seems a bit high but it's not impossible. You won't feel that while driving but the car will indeed sound nicer. You will however, FEEL the difference with long tubes. If you're driving in a State where your exhaust must be unmodified, you're better off getting Long Tube Headers with racing cats while keeping the stock suitcase muffler. You'll pick up the 40 or so horsepower while retaining the use of your NPP valves. You'll also have cats (remove the secondaries) and will have more of a shot passing emissions inspection. All of this while not disrupting the aerodynamics of the car.
yes, ive heard the OE muffler serves a purpose. ill be going with LTs and stock exhaust.
ive used magnaflow systems. theyre very high quality and priced reasonably.
YES! Love when they say better than OE. 😂 and loud doesn’t mean faster or more powerful. It’s just louder.
Sounds like an opportunity to make a lightweight bolt on to help out the air flow when making a change to the system. Glad that you brought up the characteristics of air flow changes, you 've found. As with any changes we make to style oner function. The same can be said about tire and wheel choices. Manufactures do know what their product line needs, and cost factures drive some of that. Not to mention being legal in all states. Seems like were getting close to the end of the line with bigger horsepower with internal combustion cars. AGAIN. It was nice to see all that went into this axle back system, and the functional reasons by the manuf. Drone wasn't mentioned, but they did state this was the race version. Wish I'd would have used those ear plugs earlier in life.
It's definitely a tradeoff. What's more value add to the driving experience the sound that you hear all the time in all your drives or your top speed when you're absolutely pushing the car? To me it's the latter. The stock NPP muffler is too quiet at lower rpms and loud and raspy at higher rpms. Doing headers and other mods upfront will only exacerbate this effect. And if there's too much flow by removing all restrictions in front of the muffler, it starts sounding 'tinny'. If you care about quality of sound and not just louder and also care about aerodynamics, I think a high quality muffler delete with ZL1 addons true rear diffuser is the best option.
Nothing sounds better than a corse exhaust 🤘
Gthaus sound a lot better then corse!
Can’t wait wishing everyone the best of luck on the giveaway

Good quality video. Keep it up.
Such an amazing video
Shouldn’t the flow meter be on the exit of the muffler to see the flow exiting rather than going in? To me the physics of the expansion chamber on the bigger muffler would allow more air to flow into it but not flow out as the outlets are all the same size. Just my thinking.
This is the one 🎉🔥🙌🏾
Love❤
Few days late BUT LETS GOOOO
I May Be Old School, But I've Allways Liked The Sound Of FLOWMASTER!!
THIS ONE BEONGS ON IROBOT HIGHWAY
🙏🙏
Please 🙏🏼💙
I had magnaflow on my 2ss 1LE 18 comp mufflers way to loud and alot of drone ! Wish they made a little quieter muffler .
babe, wake up. new freedom street garage zl1 magnaflow exhaust vid just dropped
I have Awe Axle back them mfs loud
Front wheel drive?
It's AWD dumdum
It's actually left wheel drive. If you look at the dyno shot only the two left wheels are turning
If the muffler delete are lighter than oem by only 9 lbs so the street series mufflers should be the same weight of oem !!!!!
The Pipe is crushed because its the same Exhaust System on the cabriolet what has a stiffener there to fit, so they produced all the same Exhaust system to fit all models ;).... not heat or bullshit yada yada.....
my car 🥲
