Always wanted to do up my exhaust. With the CTS-V being my first car owned out of factory warranty... not to mentioned paid off... I went for it.

Went with:

Borla’s X-Pipe w/Mid Pipes to get rid of the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Borla’s Axle-Back Exhaust “S-Type”

Custom piping to remove the secondary catalytic converters (they are un-monitored and so this does not trigger the CEL, and thus no ECU tune is needed)

Cold start + 3x revs:

Then, I did a day trip to the Interior to record some driving footage. I posted the trip re-cap here:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Microphone setup:

Traffic was light, so I basically had the tunnels all to myself:

Even without tunnels, I think it sounds alright when I get on it... which I kinda have to to get around people ;-)

Ah yes, tunnel tuning the exhaust. Sounds pretty boss and bonus points for the extra effort that went into proper audio recording.

You just reminded me I recently installed a dash cam with audio... And I work for a company that supports 4 tunnels...

Oooh do likey. I really like the gen 2’s. Well done. If they had AWD I’d have one of those instead of my S8. Have you opened up the intake track yet? A nice CAI to let all that screaming out from under the hood? I did that with my S4 and it was glorious. But I couldn’t keep my foot out of it. Must. Have. Boost. That exhaust is legit
