Description
All of us at Solo Performance are excited to bring our MACH-SHORTY-XF and MACH-SHORTY-BALANCED-XF series converter back (cat-back) stainless steel, dual exhaust kits to the Chevy SS community. The “Shorty” series exhaust kits are louder than the “Mach” and quieter than the “Street Race.” These no drone exhaust kits offer a deep, raw, rich and smooth exhaust note on the outside and are non-invasive on the inside. These are “Sound on Demand” exhaust systems that produce the sound you want when accelerating or revving but become incredibly quiet at cruise speeds.
Solo has replaced that annoying cruise speed cabin drone with a comfortable, quiet exhaust note through advanced technology and a painstaking R&D process. Our MACH-SHORTY-XF-Balanced exhaust kits have a balance pipe welded in before the muffler. This equalizes the cylinder pressure and slightly softens and smoothes the exhaust note for the discerning customers. We have our MACH-SHORTY- XF muffler measuring 11” long as compared to our quieter 14” long MACH- XF ( featured in the next thread). The shorter 11” muffler is louder than the longer 14” muffler by several notches. We have also incorporated flex pipes in the midsections for vibration and sound control.
The tailpipe assembly comes with Solo’s tunable J-Pipes. These J-pipes are capped off on the end, and as the sound waves enter the J-pipe they bottom out on the end cap and bounce back. Upon the sound wave re-entering the exhaust flow, it collides with the specific Chevy SS drone frequency and cancels it out. Since all Chevy SS engine harmonics are not exactly the same, we have made a slider end cap (just loosen the band clamp and slide the piece longer or shorter) so that you can fine tune the exhaust note if necessary. Tomorrow’s technology on today’s Chevy SS.
Exhaust Tips come in your standard T-304 Stainless steel dual outlet 3” or your larger dual outlet 3½”… Each tip is staggered to fit the contour of the bumper and is slash cut with inner bevel for that “extra body” look.
The Chevy SS is loaded with special features. Complete the look and sound with one of Solo Performance’s MACH-XF series cat-back exhaust kits.
We have had incredible support from the Chevy SS community and its predecessor, the G8 community. We could not have created these kits without your invaluable and helpful feedback. Thank You from all of us!
