Factory mufflers and SW headers sound better.
That was my thought exactly.
Performance is more important
Sitting here saying the same exact thing
Same. Wayyyy more throatier
Came to the comments to see if it was just me.
Sw headers and stock mufflers sound the best
headers and stock mufflers sounds the most aggressive
+1trucavalier Agreed
These guys just screwed themselves in selling the kit because just getting the headers and keeping everything else stock sounds best.
Stainless Works is being very professional by not forcing us to buy their mufflers, but offering the rest of the x-pipe setup. They know how car people can be. I'm looking at LS swapping my truck with a 416 LS3, but I can't find a decent shop that can fabricate a stainless mandrel bent Nascar style X-pipe that puts dual cutouts to the passenger side, and a super quiet single outlet in the factory location.
Lol, 5-years later, I totally put an LS3 in my truck. Forget quiet exhaust, X-pipes, and H-pipes. Run from the headers straight back, then 45 out in front of the rear tires!
i reckon that the Stock exhaust with the aftermarket Headers sounds better but that might be because I like it loud
I am so glad that others agree.. Hard to be factory mufflers on this car.
Aftermarket headers w factory muffler for the win!
This brings back good memories of what the G8 GXP sounded like
pontiacGXPfan Sounds exactly like the G8
I own this car featured in the video now. I'm the second owner and the video as usual does not do it justice. Sounds great in person and gets lots of compliments.
Great to hear Steven, thank you! Yeah, we're not sure a video can ever really portray how an exhaust feels to hear in person, it's like a recording of a rock band vs being at an actual show! ;)
headers to factory mufflers is the best
1 7/8" headers and 3" exhaust piping seems a little overkill, atleast on a stock LS3. Probably losing out on some low-end torque potential. Also, headers w/ exhaust sounds a bit too raspy for my taste. Imo, the stock exhaust w/ headers sounded best. However, the quad exhaust tips are a definite improvement.
Nah. Common misconception. The 1 7/8" even gains on the 5.7 LS1. This notion you should stick to 1 3/4" even on the LS3 is silly.
I like it! Nice vid to, the comparassions really help.
headers and factory mufflers sounds the best
I have the full Stainless works set up, my car sounds absolutely nothing like the video. There's a very airy sound and is actually quieter than stock at high RPM's. My set also came with a resonator that isn't listed anywhere on their website. That being said I took the mufflers off and ran Open headers, cats and resonator and the car was extremely loud. Something strange is going on with their mufflers. The fit is also terrible. I took off their resonator and mufflers and put back the stock mufflers with their headers. Sounds great and I fully recommend the headers. The mufflers however, avoid them at all costs
Great video I love how u did the different sounds
Loving all the comparisons. Great job on everything.
Thanks for checking it out Jorge!
SW Headers with factory mufflers was has the best sound
SW Headers with their SW Exhaust was nice from the interior, and that's what sold me. Ironically, SW doesn't 'appear' to list this kit for the Chevy SS on their website.
those headers make a world of difference
Great vid. Best online showing the different combinations. Based on this I bought the headers. SW cans sound great if you like a higher tone. (NASCAR) What is not captured in the vid is the volume level. I have no doubt in person the SW cans sound much more formidable than the vid can showcase.
I actually like the sound of the stock exhaust.
I just ordered the SW headers with the stock mufflers ( SS14HOR ) , I'll try to post some dyno numbers once I get it installed.
You ever get it installed? Make a video.
Eric Stallings
I haven't install them yet, but once I do, I'm doing a dyno before and after video .
Awesome comparison video 👌
3 variant real beast!
I like number # 2 . SW Exhaust to Factory Manifold. Its for us guys over 50. LOL Just a little nicer sound. Great video by the way.
That sounds amazing! I am thinking of putting custom headers & mufflers on my 2014 Chevy SS. I put PFADT headers and Borla catback on my 2005 corvette & it was super loud :)
+ChevySS Car Reviews Thanks for checking it out, yeah our sound is loud, but also more of a deep, rumble growl, we definitely try to do our own thing to stand out from other exhaust sounds.
can you explaing the difference between the headers with high flow cats and the headers with off road pipes? Any help would be appreciated.
SS14HOR is being ordered for my SS .
Awesome! Glad to hear, I think you're going to like them.
Thanks for the vid. Very helpful
I picked up a 2013 Caprice PPV 6L with 800 miles last Friday and I need these headers in my life with an off road x to my stock mufflers(until I AFM delete and cam it)...would you consider giving the forum members at New Caprice a deal? :)
Would you recommend coating these headers and maybe a high torque mini starter?
Eric Stallings Hey Eric, kind of a personal preference if you'd like to coat them, I suppose it depends on your application, if you're basically keeping a street car or taking it to the track. An AirAid intake would be a great complement to our headers. Call us if you'd like to discuss 800.878.3635
headers and stock muffler for me
Thanks for checking it out! That's why we do the comparison! Everyone has their own taste.
Are the headers that are on the car in this video with or without cats?
+BklynRulz The video clips feature catted systems.
If i wanted just the headers with original mufflers, which part number would it be just for the headers?
Hi Sebastian, you'd want our "Factory Connect" headers which would be either catted (SS14HCAT) or off-road (SS14HOR) those both come with an X-pipe and you can view the details here: stainlessworks.net/chevy-ss-2014-headers
Feel free to give us a call 800.878.3635
Not bad for an out of the box run of the mill aussie family car ;)
can you please tell me if your system is compatible with HOLDEN VF SSV SERIES 2 AUSTRALIAN BUILT CAR 2016 And the price for a full 3inch system thanks for your time and effort
Hi Philip, this system was designed for a left hand drive system, so if your vehicle has the steering wheel on the right, it could have some trouble fitting properly. Feel free to email us with more details at info@stainlessworks.net
Headers & stock mufflers sound great; I bet the stock mufflers flow really well. I would like to see some dyno figures before making a decision. But it is all meaningless unless they have a CARB certificate. Without that you won’t pass the smog check visual inspection.
+Jim Janssen My SW headers and cats passed NJ emissions testing on my 6.1 Procharged Hemi
+Jim Janssen What are you a cop?
Need just Headers
Good job, How much does that setup run for?
johnnieace45 Thanks Johnnie, it depends which options you choose, if you check out the link in the description you can configure everything there with price breakdowns. If you have further questions feel free to call us - 800.878.3635
Are those decibel readings max or average or...?
warnersims They are the max decibel readings using the standard A-frequency weighting filter setting.
Badassssss brute from straya m8
The Chevy SS seems to sound better than the CTS V, despite both cars having the exact same displacement in engines, would anybody know why this is the case?
The old n/a CTS-V was a 5.7L LS6 then a 6L LS2, new CTS-V is 6.2L Supercharged LSA and SS is 6.2L LS3. That's why.
Wait what's why? The CTS V should sound better considering the LSA is more powerful than the LS3, but the muffling and the catalytic converters on the CTS V are probably more powerful than the SS's muffler and cats to reduce the sound. I guess you would have to compare both vehicles without their mufflers and cats respectively.
The cts-v does sound better, but its all in peoples taste and opinion. Asking "why does this car sound better than that car" is just dumb
True, you bring up a very good point how it's all individual and everyone has different tastes. But, the fact that the SS sounds very good stock versus the CTS V always made me curious to know why, but I guess it could also be because I have never heard a truly ferocious sounding 2nd gen V in person. I have seen some good exhaust videos on RUclips, but it's not the same watching it in a video versus being there in person, you know what I mean?
I heard a modified 6.2L s/c V at Zmax dragway during HRM Power Tour and it sounded pretty wild.I don't think it could hold a candle to a cammed, LT header LS7 Z06 I heard though.
Stock Mufflers sounds better
Too bad they won't make it a 6-speed...
It is a 6 speed....
Ehhh... Pretty sure they all came off the line as automatics.
And how many gears is that auto? Its a 6l80 :P
They are 6spds. Just auto.
... I feel like you're just trying to be a smart-ass so let me rephrase my comment:
Too bad they won't make it a manual.
Well, you simply said 6 speed and they are 6 speeds, so I was being a smart ass ;)
@ 3: 28 WTF really do you think people are that stupid, lets not forget that adding an exhaust change does nothing to the engine unless you have a tune done professionally full stop and to think that he said it throws you right back in your seat, only drag cars do that, look up Hennessey upgrades up to 600 HP on a SS yet it does not put you back in the seat like this dude shows LMFAO really ? so funny the usual american BS Other than good exhaust make up maybe, till i see the tig welds and how much of the inside of the stainless steel is polished,only then i would be impressed,which can be done just be having the pipe put into special fluids and electricity is applied or via special Acids and time to remove outside and inside the stainless pipe ?
