Thanks!
Been wanting to see a good install of this exhaust because I’ve already ordered mine and I’m waiting on it to be delivered.
This is the best install video I’ve seen 🙏🏻
Thanks man, cheers! If you have any questions when you get it give me a buzz on here I'll walk you through it
I have a 2018 1SS 1LE and got the MBRP axle back delete in black. Love it! But, here's a little hint. When you have it installed, have your exhaust man cut in front of the axle and fabricate a length of pipe to meet your new exhaust. It's about 20" of pipe (that's what she said), but GM put what they call a necessary crimp in the pipe that reduces the flow by approximately 35%. I did some digging and was told that this was because Chevy couldn't allow the lowly Camaro to make more power than the Corvette. Just a hint. It costs an additional $50, but makes a world of difference.
Great car! Great vid! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks man. I'm actually interested in looking into this. If I understand flow dynamics correctly, even with a crimp in the exhaust as long as the overall inside circumference of the pipe is the same (which in this case, it is); nothing should be affected. I thought they crimped it so it wasn't too close to the diff/fluid but I'll do some more research
@@CarolinaAutos Actually it's not. It's not a flattening of the pipe, it's pushing the pipe back into itself, which in fact does reduce flow. ...Just so you know.
Concerning the pipe being to close to the diff fluid. No. The same setup can be found on the previous Z28. And according to my GM dealership, while the crimp does offer cosmetic clearance, it in no way threatens or comes into contact with the diff or threatens said fluid. ;-)
FYI:
No full aftermarket cat back system comes with the crimp.
@@garygeer4685 Chevy says the crushed pipe doesnt affect flow or power... the Corvette makes 5 more horsepower than the Camaro because the LT1 in the Corvette is dry sump and the Camaro is wet sump.. thats it..
@@TheAow4321 A fare number of the SS 1LE Camaro's between 2017 and 2020 (mine happened to be one) ended up with same LT1 as the more expensive, plastic car. One only need check the identification badge on the engine.
As for your claim that chevy said it didn't effect the output, I was told by a GM service manager that it in fact did affect power.
Have a great day.
This has been tested by several outlets and there is no power gain by swapping out that flattened pipe. No idea where you got 35% from...?
I usually laugh at videos named like this but you nearly made me choke on my drink when it fired up the thing sounds so damn good...I shared this video immediately to v6 guys, i can't believe how good that sounds.
Thanks for the positivity man! It definitely made an impression on me too
What up Eric, we bought our Veloster Ns same time and I still have mine. Very possibly trading for LT1 in the next couple of days, decided I was ready to go back to RWD and after considering Turbo 6's like the M2 and supra I came to my senses and I decided I needed to pick up an NA American V8 while they still exist. I initially thought about the ZL1 that was a few years old with low mileage and try to get it done around $65k. Then I looked around at the NA Camero because in all honesty I don't drive fast enough to actually need that much power every day. Hell man I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've buried the accelerator pedal on the Veloster if that tells you anything. Now I do drive it quickly, but I mainly use it to commute to work and the Camaro will be doing the same haul. Now I have several back roads I drive and I prefer handling to straight up speed, so the Camaro seemed like a good way to go to get into a great handling rear wheel drive with plenty of power and worth dumping the Veloster over. I'll tell you what though, I have been very satisfied with the VN, I have been looking at cars ever since I picked up the VN, and I haven't seen anything that I would replace it with when I factored in price and fun. I actually considered keeping the VN along with the Camaro, but I'm not loaded unfortunately and I'm in my 50s, so I'm trying to save as much as possible for retirement these days and I like to have money in my pocket and not be a slave to my bills. Plus I only drive one car at a time and I think the Camaro will be a better long term car to keep for collectors value too. I'm also quite pissed off that all this green energy bullshit is going to make everyone drop their V8's. Man I'm all about progress and I love some forced induction, but I also love the beauty of the NA V8'S and the 6.2L. thanks for the video brother, getting excited 😆
car sounds great i recommend texas speed long tube headers with an x pipe and u will be all set!
I cut the resonators out yesterday (video pending) and I really like the sound. I'm thinking about headers but not 100% yet
Max you funny bro lol
Sounds great bud.
Same car same exhaust except I already have the secondary cats deleted and it is INCREDIBLE
Getting the secondaries done this week!!
Do you get a check engine light when you delete the secondaries ?
Boulevard Mufflers. I live in Concord and definitely gonna bring my ZL1 there.
My 2016 2SS A8 still have stock muffler but I deleted the secondary cats and it had more crackle and pop when downshifting and was a bit louder too so I could just imagine them deleted with that mbrp
Great video, Question disconnecting the actuator did that turn on any warning in dicators or anything?
Nope it’ll be good to go
Ahh so you do have an MBRP. I didn't think they changed the look of the NPP setup. I testdrove a regular SS with that setup and it was awesome. Pretty dang loud. The NPP is weird though because even with the valves open it is quiet going slow but very loud once you open it up.
Yeah I hate that that's why most of us changing the entire cat or axle back
did you do anything else like taking off the rear resonator, secondary cats, or add an X pipe etc? Best sounding V6 of the camaro I've ever heard. I got a v6 one myself and this is what im looking for.
I did eventually cut out the secondary cats after this video
It looks much more muscle car like. I like the way they bouf curve to the sides - like on the chargers and challengers. Are these expensive to get? Cuz I want em in blk
$500 for the set I got - I think $600 coated in black! Check out Phastek's website
I did my LT1 but I keep the exhaust valve also my
Son he did the same on the SS
Does npp still work good
$20 dollars?? In California they would charge me $180 😂😂😂
hahahaha I know right I was like, ummmm ok??
hey bro! I just bought a 2022 Camaro SS 1LE.
I am planning / hoping to buy this same exhaust, the MBRP Black Series Axle-Back Exhaust with the NPP mode? since I have the active exhaust stuff.. That is what *NPP* is right?
Mines also a 6 speed by the way (:
But my question is, how do you like the exaust? is it noticably louder? did you need any tuning? shoulnd't void any warranty right? aside from not expecting dealer to service or fix anything that might go wrong with said axleback exahust
Yes NPP is active exhaust but I just got rid of that with mine. Who needs a quiet Camaro?
@@CarolinaAutos facts
Are you currently still running this exhaust sir?!
What size clamps did you use? Mine just arrived and I thought it would come with clamps but it didn’t 😕
That's odd, I'd call them because mine came with the correct clamps
Do you get any drone when just cruising down the highway..
Nope it’s not too bad because of the long 6th gear
Did you get a code for removing the NPP valves?
No it has nothing to do with the emissions system
Did you have to do anything special for the npp exhaust?
Yeah, deleted it
do the check engine come on after the tips installed?
Nah, it was on for something different
I ordered the same exhaust, how did you get rid of check engine light for exhaust and where did you tuck the harness?
I just taped the harness off and zip tied them to other wires. My check engine light isn't from the MBRP, it's from the lazy welds we did when we cut out the resonators hahaha. I'll get it fixed eventually
@@CarolinaAutos car sounds and looks awesome man! I also have a summit white 1LE. What code did it give you for the bad welds from the secondary cat delete?
How would these sound as mufflers on a 5.5L NA V8? Any good?
Yeah anything with 8 cylinders will sound good through them
Did you have to hook up the electrical back up?
Nope, pulled the fuse and left it haha
So does it increases the Horse's?
No, probably not. Headers and a cat delete would probably be the only thing exhaust wise that would really make much difference
any codes with unplugging the valves?
No sir, just be sure to remove the NPP fuse - video pending
Does it still have resonators in
Nope, I cut them out
Bro I’m in nc too I stay in Greensboro we gotta meet up one day I got a 2020 2ss
Heck yeah man
Could you link the one you bought please?
Yep!

whats louder the mbrp or the corsa extreme?
Hard for me to say because the only car I've heard with the corsa was a ZL1 and I think they're just louder. MBRP should be about as loud as you can get though since it's just a straight piece of pipe
Did you get a lot of decel pop with stock exhaust I have the same car
I did, but it's like they were muffled a lot. Still heard the louder ones, of course, but now it just pops all the time on decel
Also, doing the secondary cat delete in the AM so will upload another video
Are these functional with the valves to open and close still? Or are they just open
I removed the valves completely
I guess your question was not answered. I was wondering the same.
@@CarolinaAutos when removing the valves completely did you get a check engine light and if so how do I prevent that?
I’m gonna miss the Veloster but this will do 😭 just wondering why you let the VN go? Either way congratulations!!
It was just time to upgrade - plus I want to do some track days this year and this one is the correct tool!! thanks man
@@CarolinaAutos Do you miss valved exhaust at all?
Nope, loud all the time! Haha
@@CarolinaAutos how I felt bout my mustang 😭 but I gotta switch to Chevy those engines sound good now I want that valve exhaust I can’t sneak nowhere without someone hearin my ass and I be at like 1500rpms
@@CarolinaAutos 2019 veloster n or 2020wrx?
Not worth huge drone at 2500 to 3000 Rpm i don't know what to say more but not recommended at all [2k18 camaro 2ss]
👌👌👌
How much did the exhaust cost?
Like $450 I think
I'm cheap, I had my muffler guy cut my muffler off and weld in two pipes with the stock tips. No drone and $100 🤣🤣
I will admit.... it doesn't look as good as yours from the rear.
I came about (-----) this close to doing that too but was worried about drone - neat to know that it doesn't drone on yours!
You know what’s the weight difference?
Probably about 25 lbs. the factory exhaust is about 60 lbs.
Speed engineering x pipe and headers
$$$$ haha
الحمدﷲ على كل حال
Did you go back and give him the $100?
He wouldn't take it! We settled on $40 and a Coca Cola
@@CarolinaAutos Lol good times.
The world needs more people like that guy. Humble and earnest.
Did you reinstall the npp valves ? Does MBRP offer exhaust with npp valves ?
No I didn't, they don't have a place for them. I don't think MBRP offers them but I know a few do like Borla and Corsa
@@CarolinaAutos ok thanks bro I appreciate you .
La de la escuela
Man, I wouldn't go louder.
Haha, I know right - I am going to do the secondaries though
You talk to much more then the exhuast
At least I know the difference between then and than.
@@CarolinaAutos lol hahahaha
*too
