SOLO Performance Mach-XC Camaro Convertible Cat-Back Exhaust
All of us at Solo Performance are proud to announce our MACH-XC free flow stainless steel Cat-Back exhaust kit for the 2011 V8 Camaro Convertible. This exhaust kit has been meticulously designed to maneuver around the extra braces that the Convertible Camaro has on its undercarriage. This is a completely bolt-on kit and there are no special tools or welding required for the install. All necessary hardware is included. What the Mach-XC kit offers is a Raw, Deep, Mean American Muscle sound on the outside of the car, while being non-invasive on the inside of the car. Even with this car being a convertible, the special Solo designed Mach-X muffler that we use coupled with our J-Pipe technology (eliminates unwanted frequencies inside the cabin) combines for a staggering difference in the exhaust note from the interior to the exterior. The magic of the Solo Performance Mach-XC exhaust kit will allow you to have a normal conversation inside your car while turning heads on the outside. We call the Mach-XC a “sound on demand” exhaust kit. It stays calm until you hit the gas and depending on how you accelerate you can play your car like a finely tuned instrument. Once you’re up to cruising speed, for those long highway trips, your convertible will be “almost” stock quiet until you pull out to pass someone. This kit is designed for both the V8 Auto and Standard.
The inherent trouble areas, 6th speed cruising with the Convertible Standard, and the 1900ish RPM range with the Auto have all been addressed and have no major issues. The transition between 8cyl and 4cyl on the Auto’s is smooth and non-invasive while the 4cyl mode is a bit gurgley and very acceptable considering you have free a flow 2 ½” mandrel bent exhaust going through 4 cyl’s.
Recommendation: Solo’s Mach-XC Cat back exhaust VS. Solo’s Axle-Back exhaust kit for the 2011 V8 Camaro Convertible
If you're looking for a wonderful exhaust note and you're not interested in future mods (high flow converters, headers, intake etc.) the Axle-Back exhaust kit is definitely a great choice for you. If you already have or are thinking of doing future mods to your V8 Camaro convertible, the Cat-Back exhaust makes more sense because it will allow the exhaust to take advantage of the mods by eliminating the stock restrictive mid-section. The full cat-back kit has a more refined and full exhaust note that is not quite as “angry” as the Axle-Back kit. In regards to the exhaust note (it doesn’t quite translate this on the video’s) the Axle-Back would be for the “enthusiast” while the beautiful rich refined performance tone of the cat back would be for the person that wants a wonderful exhaust note that is less aggressive. Of course adding high flow cats or headers would make either option that much louder.
Thanks so much to SSAINT for making the long trip to our shop for several days to let us have and use his car for testing. It was a lot of fun and very much appreciated!
