I can not comment on the street race but I have heard the mach and the center stacked is a mach shorty.  I though the mach was a tad louder, this was on a sky with a stock cat converter. I did not have the two side by side.

this makes it sound like a real muscle car.  solo has sound clips but you really need to hear this in person.

It is just about the same as the Mach Shorty.  It uses the Mach Shorty muffler.

Still can't make up my mind which I like better. The wife likes the side by side better, that may be the diciding factor. I'll have to think about it some more. :huh:

Sorry, I should have used different terminology, not sure what its called -like Deedle has on her coupe.

I like the quad style like Kelu has also but not sure if thats available for the Solstice.

I believe the official term is "Solo center duals"  whereas Gary has the "Solo center Stacked"

update, had sometime to drive top down and I'm really happy with the sound.   Had someone told me that the car looked like that is the way it should be. Norm did a great job on the real valance.  Over all I would do it again :)

Straight design muffler is the best for overall flow.
