Stainless Works Retro Chambered review and Video - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

That's my car in the video, I have had the kit installed for a month now.

I'm very happy with the exhaust, Chase had been talking me into this exhaust for a while now and I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger.

As you can see, very aggressive tone. Nice and deep, no rasp. If you are listening on computer speakers, please get some headphones so you really hear this exhaust growl.

It's on the loud side for a cat back, but no where near obnoxious. The volume is perfect. Wont wake the neighbors, but will draw some good attention. NO DRONE. I drove the car 2 hours to and from Louisville for this video, and tried to make this kit drone. It wouldn't. Different gears, different speeds, different RPM's and no drone. I know thats a subjective matter, but nothing that even remotely bothered me. I think Stainless Works deserves more credit in the "No drone" discussions.

Install was easy. Product was packaged well, well labeled. Top quality bends and welds. Everything fit well and bolted right up.

Stainless Works staff is top notch. Had the opportunity a couple times to talk to Anthony, what a great guy. Even called him during the install and he was a class act.

Chase and Apex Motorsports are awesome. Fast shipping, great customer service. If you're going to buy this kit, you will not beat the customer service from Apex Motorsports. And I'd have a hard time believing you'll beat thier price either. I got to spend the day with Chase and Paul this weekend, great people!

I love this exhaust! Awesome service and price from Apex Chase, Great tone, no drone. This really is a "best of both worlds" kit. Nasty on the outside, quiet on the inside!

I'm happy to answer any questions...

I have to say one of the best sounding setup I have listened to yet! Could you list the parts and part#s it takes to get this done? Perhaps a ballpark price as well? Thanks!
Just saw the part # on the video.....Stinks getting old!

Shoot Chase with Apex Speed a PM he will get you hooked up. I have the same exhaust and I can say the video sounds spot on. I love my retro cat back, can't wait to add some headers to it

That part number is all you need! My car is otherwise stock. It's a cat back only. And they even include a lazer cut spacer for the cross tunnel brace...

You posted this today and then deleted the video? O.o

Tantalizer43 · 08-09-2011, 04:45 AM

I have this exhaust, only with the gfx tips. It does sound really good. Out of all the videos of the retro chambered that I've heard, this one is by far the closest to what it actually sounds like. OP, when you put a cold air intake on you will love the sound even more. I can't wait to do LT's with this exhaust.

Dam work block.

We actually discussed that while we were shooting the video. Another video may be in the works.
