Your exhaust must sound badass! Mine sounds a lot better now! I had thought about going with the Corsa's but others have mentioned that it's so much louder, and I didn't want that either. The S-Type is perfect for me. The only think left is the kooks x-pipe that's still sitting in the box in the garage. That should bee installed sometime this week.

Yeah, this is the ideal, no-compromise tire sizing for a non-1LE SS with power adders. Too bad the rear size is somewhat exotic with not many tire options, but I wanted the PS4S anyway. (These fresh tires grip sooo much better than the old set from 2019 they replaced, they've been hooking spectacularly during this "tire honeymoon". Not sure for how long, but I'm very happy with them.)
The tire gap is perfect is perfect all around and the sidewall height is perfect all around. Very nice

Since I just lowered mine, I think the perfect set-up for me might be 295/30 20 in the fronts and staying with the 305/30 20 for the rears

before and after Borla S-Type install

For anyone that has long tube headers installed with the factory suitcase, I thought I'd share a before and after video. One is with the stock mufflers and the other is after the Borla S-Type install. I hope this might help some folks decide if you're on the on the fence.

With the local drag strip closed up for the season, I took off the drag pack and put the 1LE wheels back on for a final street cruise before tucking it away for the winter. This cruise also doubled as the wife’s annual “put up with one ride in Josh’s loud and uncomfortable Camaro” cruise as well. Car clicked off mile 14,000 on the ride home. Time to start plotting and scheming for this winters mods.

Invalid picture. You should've made your speed 14 mph and the rpm 1400. (For bonus points, you could've figured out a way to set cruise control to 14 mph, too . Oh, and for extra extra bonus, your alternator should've been charging at 14V flat.)
Now you know what to shoot for at 15K

Tell me about it, I just missed my photo shoot opportunity at 22,222 miles trying to do 22 mph at 2222 rpm... I simply forgot because I enjoyed driving the car so much

I hit this back in July. I didn't want to drive 30 miles to the part of the toll road that has the 85 mph speed limit just for a photo op. Plus, I didn't want to hit 88mph because I've been to 1955 and 1985 and don't want to go back to either again.

I'll take this chance to drop a clip of mine as well. S-Type catback on a ZL1, secondary cats have not been removed.

Pretty much can do 85 on most of our highways in Austin area and not have to worry about a thing anymore anyway with the lack of police enforcement from APD.
