Anyone have a axleback system for the G8GT ?? StolenFox has retired and isn't making them anymore.

I ordered the RotoFab CAI. I want to put the axleback on next, then get a vector tune.

Unless the axlebacks wouldn't effect the tune...I'd get the tune first.

Axle backs will have little effect on tune.

That's what I'm looking for. Just a little better sounding exhaust.
I like my GTO exhaust...If I put a catback system on the G8 it
would probably sound about the same as the GTO. All I want is a little more sound and I don't want to spend $750 to get it.

A local speed shop is very interested in getting their hands on my car to see what kinds of things they can fab up. They have made nice STBs and SFCs for F-bodies in the past. One of the things I will have them look into is an axle back system. It looks to very quite easy. I'll keep ya posted. ;)

My buddy has a stock LS2 goat. After I put my Magnaflow cat-back on, the G8 was a bit louder. Especially at WOT. We did a side-by-side comparison and both agreed.

SF's axlebacks sound great! Have his H-pipe too. I'll probably sell mine once I go with the AR Headers since it appears it'll just be too damn loud ;) but that'll be a ways out.

find a shop locally, i spent a total of 230 bucks on my setup :) buy what ever mufflers you want first, like from jegs.com then take to a shop.

yes, i used the stock tips. they're magnaflow mufflers. any muffler shop should be able to make an axleback just like the stolenfox axlebacks. then just have the shop replace the 3 center mufflers/resonators with a X/H pipe or straight piping.
