For those who are curious, they weigh 21lbs. each for a total of 42lbs.

The Magnaflow muffler deletes in box shipped weigh 22lbs..

Without packing and box, you are looking at about a 22lbs. weight savings. The nice thing about this is when you begin adding control arms, relocation brackets and rear girdle/axle tube braces, you are probably a little ahead of the weight game. :thumb:

Overall exhaust probably. Comparing axle back muffler to muffler delete definately not.

stainless works exhaust

Looks very similar to the stock resonators. I'll take a pic of mine and post later.

Minus the indentions.

SSW appears to be a fluted design.

That actually has a chamber in it. It is a retro style system similar to what cars from the late 60's and early 70's had on it. The system on beefcakes car from what the guys at stainless works say has 2 of those on each side; one in the location as seen in the pic and another pair where the mufflers go.

I was at their car show this weekend and it does sound sweet!!!
They are supposedly going to have sound clips soon.

fyi,

anthony said they weighed the stock system from the h pipe back, came out to 78lbs,

their 3" system with the regular chambered mufflers came in at 55 lbs, so 23 lb savings.

he thinks this system is going to come in around 50lbs for a total of 28lb savings

You can pre-order them now. They are on a P/O and we should have them here in a few business days!

I would like to know what kind of in the car drone you get with either of these setups. 2000 rpm cruise. Will it drive you nuts on a long trip?
Thanks

I've experienced none of that 2000 rpm drone with the Hushpowers that you use to get with the old 2 chamber flowmasters.

SCT handheld with their canned tune. Nothing special. Pulled it off the shelf and plugged it in.

Yes factory. The indentations are there on all cars. That is due to the machines used to hold them in manufacturing. Not a big deal TBH. Replacing will not help in any way. If you are really bothered by it, replace it with a cat-back of your choice. ;)

I can't believe those things retail for $600.00 bucks. Did you find them for less???

I paid just over $400 which is still too much IMO. $200-$250 is fair but parts for these cars aren't cheap atm. Maybe a different story in another year.

Thanks...was getting ready to call dealer back and ask 'what's with the wait'.
