I think the lack of photos is due to the systems being so new.

I looked at Magnaflow re-sellers and couldn't find quad-tip axle-back systems without valves. Couldn't find any re-sellers with photos. Checked the Magnaflow website for 2016 Camaro SS and got one hit...a cat-back system that has a photo.

I had to email Kooks directly to get the photos. None of the re-sellers have any posted. I think the muffler on the axle-back is too small. Put the muffler from the cat-back on the axle-back and I'll buy it.

It appears that Borla and Kooks are the only manufacturers that have a quad-tip system without the valves. Kooks prices are lower but one system has a really small muffler and the other system deletes the muffler completely.

Thanks Hyper16 for making this thread. Magnaflow got back to me and you were right, they don't make what I need. So I went with the Kooks with polished tips and the muffler delete!! Thanks to Jared from JDP Motorsports!! I'm going to have my rear fascia/ diffuser painted gloss black too!

Excellent. It is going to be LOUD. Post some before and after photos

My facia is at the paint shop and the Borla S-type mufflers are ordered.
I'll post photos when it is finished.

If you look around you can find somebody usually locally that can fabricate all the stuff for you. I was lucky enough to find a guy several years ago that has done a lot of work for me, adding quad tips to my 13, straightening out a lousy job by somebody else on a Honda accord that added a magnaflow system, the new GM axle back recently they did for me, deleting my second cats,and he can cut and weld anything in place and get it right . It's worth interviewing a few shops finding out where all the other Camaro guys are going.

Yep. I know a guy that owns a Meineke franchise. He has been working on my vehicles for years. I trust him to install the exhaust.
The dealership is in charge of the facia. I'm using a $250 credit I have to offset the costs.

Hey I just dug up an old pic of my Magnaflow exhaust for 12' SS.. Looking at it.. I believe it was a muffler delete as well. I just knew I liked the sound and the 5" tips!!

I looked up some pics and videos on muffler deletes, sounds awesome! I'm curious does this void warranty?

Ya'll are not going to believe this. I just got a call from Flowmaster. I won this month's contest for an Outlaw axle-back system.

Now I have to give this some more thought. How to put on quad tips.........

Yep. Talked to my friend who owns a Meineke franchise. He said can modify the tips to quad. So I get the quad-tip look for the cost of the facia and installation. Awesome !

THANKS FLOWMASTER
