Looks & sounds great! The installer said it was the cleanest installation he's seen. I heard that here before

I did a real quick vid last night in the garage but it sounded all corked up (which it is right now because it's so new). After she blows out a little I'll post up a sound clip/video. Suffice to say, it sounds so good. I drive around with my windows down so I can hear it haha.

haha once those steely caps launch, they are gone for good! Off to the side of the road with the rest of the junk. It's back to the drawing board for this project.

Magna Flow

I installed the same system in my '08 LS Panel (Black too). It is easy as pie. Hardest part is the removal of the old system. There is a performance gain, but I would guess in the 7-10% range. Sound is good, but wife prefers the factory sound (lack of).

I also did the Airaid intake at about the same time so performance 'feel' may be a bit skewed but it is better. Now that I can hear the motor, I am starting to figure out the powerband. This little 4-banger has some strength to it, mostly on top. If you try to push it too quick, it can't hanlde it. But, meter in the throttle slowly & the little motor pulls hard all the way to the top. I'm just figuring out how much she can handle. And it's a lot of fun doing it. P.S. The sound is great! I love just starting it up. Sounds like a sports car. haha
