Full Bolt Ons and a SWEET EXHAUST!

I figured you guys might appreciate this. Gave myself a birthday present, full bolt ons for my 2023 2SS 1LE. All of the info and parts are in the description of the video, but the exhaust setup is Kooks catted headers, to a full AWE Resonated Touring Catback. Also has LT2 intake, LT5 TB, Rotofab intake, and more.

Im not going to lie, I have heard a lot of Camaros with headers and I am usually not a fan of the sound. Too harsh, raspy, and takes away that muscle car sound. This however, fixes that problem. It cold starts with an aggressive bark, and idles with a deep muscular growl, and absolutely screams at wide open throttle. All while sounding amazing. If anyone wants to get headers but doesn't care for that obnoxious sound, drone, or raspy sound, THIS is the way to go!

I know the video isn't the same as hearing it in person, but hopefully if gives you an idea.

Thank you very much! It has rained every day for over a week, and will be raining all this week but I can't wait to get out and film some more exhaust clips with this thing. I love it!

Sounds great, how did you get your dash display to look like that? Is that just a 1lE thing?

No, the dash has themes that you can switch between in Settings (right arrow, Settings, Display Theme, see a video here). The theme with the large round gauge in the center is called "Technology".

I hope that's what you meant, sorry if I misunderstood something.

Thanks, I guess I just never played around with it much, I'll have to dig in more.

No offense, but you haven't done full bolt-ons. You have achieved true "full bolt-ons" when you've replaced every part from the front grille to the exhaust tip as I have, where the diff is the only remaining OEM part!

Yes, about 40-50 wheel horsepower gain after a tune. It would be even more with E85 but I decided against it. It feels EXCELLENT. Its my daily driver so Im not going too crazy with it.
