2010 Camaro Magnaflow X-pipe and Comp Axle Back

[Shirleyka2012]

These sound absolutely amazing, best I've heard on here. I love the look, and the way they sound, I wish I had one but how do you think these would sound on my RS V6.. What's your opinion?

[pwhs8]

This sounds great man

[JWKVORTEC350]

Sounds awesome man! I'm about to do a muffler delete/x pipe setup on my L99 soon. Any idea if I can order those magnaflow 5in. tips by themselves?

[mufreq]

@JWKVORTEC350 You would have to check with Magnaflow or contact Summit Racing or Jegs...

[theSScamarokid]

I have the muffler delete right now much like your first video, why do I get decelerate popping and you don't? My popping is like gun shots...I Love the sound! Did you tune it some how?

[mufreq]

The reason is that my exhaust manifolds and cats were not up to full temp. The exhaust is actually igniting unspent fuel in the exhaust tubes via the fact that when the fuel management system shuts off fuel in the deceleration mode, it allows oxygen to move into the exhaust (since there was not combustion cycle) which mixes with the unspent fuel, then ignites due to the retained heat of the manifolds/cats.

[mufreq]

@theSScamarokid

I have since swapped to LT's and high flow cats and the popping only happens in certain situations as opposed to every time I let off the throttle.

[pfcfaflik]

Other than sound what other advantages is having the X pipe installed?

[mufreq]

@pfcfaflik Additional HP and Trq

[OgamiItto70]

@pfcfaflik As "mufreq" says, additional hp & tq, due to more equal exhaust pulses between left and right side exhaust tubes. Firing order, bank-to-bank, of (American) cross-plane-crank v8's: L-R-L-L-R-R-L-R. X-pipe tends to equalize the L-L-R-R sequence, improving flow and scavenging, thus improving hp & tq. Side-effect is less loping sound of engine, more like flat-plane-crank v8 (Ferrari type v8) or 180-degree header arrangement (original Ford GT-40 type exhaust).

[jdec141]

Which dynomax clamp did you order from summit?

[mufreq]

@jdec141 cannot recall the exact part number, but they were 2.5" with dual clamping bolts.

[imjaybird]

Sounds the same? Any Drone?

[mufreq]

@imjaybird none at all

[MrChodiya]

hey, so is that a MagnaFlow axleback competition exhaust and magnaflow x pipe? and everything else is stock, right? SOUNDS GREAT!

and i saw that you listed the price but i just searched it and it gave me around $1200 just for the magnaflow competition axleback. and seperate price for the xpipe. please help im very interested but unfortunately slow at these things. Thanks

When you started your car I smiled from ear to ear and my fiance thought I was watching porn lol

[IrishChris1979]

Nice deep, clean sound to it.  Very nice! Are those 4.0" tips?

[BABBALOZA]

@IrishChris1979 5in!!...wow!

[charlesturnage]

LOL at the kid covering his ears, sounds great tho

[charlesturnage]

LOL at the kid covering his ears

[papers232313]

Do u plan on headers or any other mods

[IxOVERKILLxI]

l99 or ls3?

[mufreq]

@IxOVERKILLxI - its an LS3

[7171561200]

Haha at 0:59, the little boy covering his ears! Love it!

[mufreq]

@gibsonbaby131 - it was pretty easy. the instructions were straight forward and the clamps provided were nice. The system uses the factory hangers and aligned very easy.

[mistabones]

So this is just the Comp Axle back, and the X-pipe, with stock resonators still on there?

[mufreq]

@mistabones - that is correct.

[YogiAndBooBooAndMe]

0:26 without x-pipe

1:56 with x-pipe

[mufreq]

@gibsonbaby131 - it was actually really easy. I used a lift to do it, but you could do it easy enough on stands too. The instructions are straight forward. I ended up cutting the driver side pipe off approx 3/4" shorter than the instructions said so that I could get the pipe to align properly.

[Scorpion7substance]

what does this x pipe do?

[mohammadVTC]

louder and increases the flow of the exhaust, normally replaces a resonator

[mufreq]

@Scorpion7substance - it does a much better job of equalizing the exhaust pressures between the banks. It is worth about 10 HP and tones down the exhaust about 1/2 as much.

[rhix99]

How much did it cost you?

[mufreq]

@rhix99 - read down below in comments, I lay out the costs there.

[91cannibal]

i hate the way the new camaros sound!!!!!!!! they just dont sound like the 3rd gens or the 4th gens!!!! the new camaros just dont sound that great.

[mufreq]

Yeah, they could have done a lot better..but I think they did this by design for a couple reasons....they didn't want the Camaro and Vette to have the same HP ratings....probably thought the market segment was a bit older due to pricing on the V8's, therefore a general desire to have a quieter car, and lastly....after market sales for modifications.... What's interesting the LS3 cars have a straight through pipe (with some holes in the pipe) going through the muffler, still to quiet for most!

[91cannibal]

but it was the return of the camaro. they should have gone all out but i guess they knew what they were doing. another problem with them is that theyre WAY to heavy too. they weigh almost 4000lbs!!! straight pipes with holes? what!!! haha. thats different. they should sound like a monster! but they dont =(

[MichaelJosephWilk]

@91cannibal yea but u can fix the sound (with a few extra $'s) and it still kills the mustang and challenger, even with the weight

[wallicimo1]

@MichaelJosephWilk 1) I love the way this sounds! 2) Kill the 5.0...haha

[importsareforpussys]

@wallicimo1 lol the stang has killed the maro plenty b4 and if i recall....this turd wouldnt be here if tax dollars didnt rescue them

[msclecarcrzy]

I just bought the same axle back kit for mine(because of your video)from maryland speed and they had a special for $150 more got a cold air intake also.Sounds great.I'm gonna put mine on this weekend.Probably get X pipe later.Thanks for posting!

[mufreq]

Not sure which cold air intake they are offering...but in my opinion Vararam is making the best system out there. They are slowly ramping up production....with somewhere around back orders in the pipeline 300 but it will be worth the wait. They have a 100% money back offer on the amount of HP & TQ you will see with their unit....others don't even touch those claims! Enjoy your new setup, it sounds SWEET!

[sniperlobbypro]

I was wondering .. before the x-pipe was the car stock besides the axle-back system?

[mufreq]

Yes, it was. No other mods.

[360mmspider]

does it pop allot ???

[mufreq]

It pops about as much as the normal exhaust does...GM is shutting down injectors when you are decellerating to save fuel...and when you do that the extra oxygen in the exhaust ignites the unspent gases to make that popping.... One thing that does help with it is to go with long tub headers and high flow CATS...just did that on mine and that does help a bunch since the exhaust pipes are not near as hot as the cast iron manifolds/factory cats..

[360mmspider]

ok thanks man, thats makes sense...

[mufreq]

I got the Axle back from Maryland speed for $360 and the x-pipe through eBay on a best offer for $71.50. Then picked up dynomax 4 clamps through Summit for another ~$45. Took me about 1.5 hours to put it in with watching my boys too...

[skydog92]

Thats pretty much exactly what i want to do to mine. Thanks a bunch.

[skydog92]

If you dont mind me asking how much did the whole setup cost and who did you buy it through? I have a 2010 LS3 camaro and want the same set up.

[disturbed1316]

Somehow, I could tell that the flow was better and smoother after the x-pipe install. Excellent sound!!!

[mufreq]

it's a 2.5" unit that fits the factory exhaust. I think the PN is 10791...trying to recall it from memory here...

[roninkage]

outstanding thank you

[roninkage]

what size x pipe did you use. i plan on getting one for my SS

[pocketRocketboy]

ur a ricer. :P

[roninkage]

of course. its part of my daily diet charlie..just like yours lol

[mufreq]

Thanks.  It was fairly easy to do to and considerable less to mod the factory exhaust then a full cat back system at this time. Sounds even better when you are churning through the gears, especially when down shifting!

[njracer34]

man that sounds sweet with the x-pipe. nice job man
