New exhaust on SS
Stopped by a friends muffler shop, and in the course of discussion about my 09 SS, we decided to put a new muffler on.
Dave said, "Lets try a Wicked -Flo muffler and see if you like it"
He proceed to remove the stock muffler and put the Wicked-flo muffler on.
Man, did it sound good. Low deep rumble at idle, nice deep tone cruising, then a deep snarling sound in boost. On downgardes it's not much louder than stock, and no loud drumming sound at off throttle on downgrades.
SS sounds like a performance ride now. Stainless muffler, low back pressure, and runs much better now, across the board.
I'd sure recommend this muffler setup. Only $140.00 including labor. Much cheaper and sounds as good or better than a cgs axle back[which I was about to order].
Going to order a stage 1 kit after the first of the year, then a Pedders susp. after that, then she's a done deal[I hope].

NO VOID. I was at the dealer today with new HAHN exhaust, catless downpipe, intercooler, piping and K&N and they seemed to get very excited and even called me at work and asked where to purchase such a beautiful exhaust from cause one of the guys wanted one. I even had the Trifecta tune, but I had it turned off.
When I picked up the car it had 30 xtra miles on it and ¼ tank of fuel was gone.

Couple of questions for you, did you also remove the resonator, or just the muffler. Also after doing a google search, I cannot find anything regarding a company for this Wicked Flow muffler? Is it made by a different company. Only Google posts are from people who have purchased, but no link to a company.

I'll call my friend at the muffler shop and see who manufactures it, and get a part number. Just replaced the stock muffler with the new one. 20 min job.
After driving it , seems like the SS has a little more punch, but could be my imagination. Sure sounds good tho.
