Here's one of the axle back portion just forward off the muffler. No flange connection like the G8. Have to pull the clamp to verify, but it looks like a slide in connection.

Looks like a ball and socket in the pic from the bulging clamp.

Couldn't help notice 'made in mexico' on the rubber hanger!

 

[GXPaycheck]

Ha! Didn't see that!

 

[Natedeezy]

That's funny.

 

[davidcroft]

wait so this thing is set up from the factory already cut like that, ready to do an axle-back swap???

BRILLIANT!

I was thinking the same thing ...

 

[brianch]

unbolt the clamp and see what unfolds

This setup looks chintzy. I'm disappointed that it's not flanged like the G8. Hopefully a nice Kooks G8 system will fit the SS to gain an OEM flanged connection and open up the world of axleback possibilities already out there.

I'm hoping for a GM Performance Parts muffler with dual tips on each side like the Jeff Gordon SEMA car! ARE YOU LISTENING GM?????

 

[SlingShot]

YES, I think a quad tip looks awesome on this car. Makes it look a little more edgy, like the ZL1. I would also like to see what it looks upstream from the cans in the back. Also I can see a set of SOLO HF cats in the future, they mak the LS3 sound awesome with a little bump in HP.

Would the NPP mufflers off a Camaro fit this car? I have this on my z06 and love being able to make it loud or quiet. In loud mod the butterflys open and you can see straight thru the muffler to the exhaust pipe.

It would probably work with the NPP, but you may have to manually wire them with a switch for open close ... If the pipes them selves fit, a mild to wild switch would do the trick to control them.

 

[z51vett]

Yeah I need to see the setup on the Camaro or a parts diagram.

[davidcroft]

I'm sure it would since it's basically the same underpinnings of a Camaro. The factory rear bumper/diffuser would be the issue.

 

[SlingShot]

If you look at the rear diffuser, I think quad tips would fit just fine ...

But the Npp mufflers are part of the pipe and not available separately so...

Nope the mild to wild wouldn't work on a conversion because the control setup for the flappers isn't there.

If the mufflers do fit you would need to rig up a physical manual control for them...the NPP uses the computer, throttle position, vacuum and electrics to decide and control when they open and close.

Also I would not mess with the factory axle pipe ball/flange. I would make an adapter that if it could fit connect the Npp mufflers after you cut them off the pipes to the factory axle pipe connection.

Heck if you need more loud and got alot of money just put them on if they fit and leave them open unmuffled which is the flapper valve's default!

Then when you get stopped for disturbing the peace tell the officer to observe the GM factory mufflers on it!

I dont mind the slip on

Allows for some flex. Less risk of cracking

Flanges are heavy and rust and get stuck.

+1 Hopefully they've made it easy to swap out so they can offer it as an accessory.

Is that for both sides that looks like it goes all the way to cats.
Oh sunset orange creations makes a mild to wild control box. So does the company the makers of the mild to wild switch Naked parts I think. Box vaccum lines and electronic controller.

Would like to see it on actual Camaro can cut over axle pipe and weld in muffler.
Thanks CB750
