CNT RACING 3" CATBACK- REVIEW - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

BLACK10 · 05-27-2012, 04:15 PM

Hi,

I had searched for a while to see if there was any feedback on the CNT Racing 3" cat back system for the V8 and I didn't really find much. I decided to order the system for my own Camaro and see how it stood up to the many name brand aftermarket systems we install here at Lethal Racing.

I believe this is the best review of this brand to-date

here are the basics:
$450 shipped- Not availible through Lethal Racing.com yet, but can be ordered and installed by Lethal Racing
3" cat back that bolts up to the factory connections
304 stainless
very nice band clamps
nice looking welds
stainless mufflers and tips
includes drop trunnel brace
sounds great!
Deep tone

looks like we will be installing these at Lethal Racing now

What exhaust does it most compare to in you guy's opinion? Sounds good. I would be interested as long as the drone isn't terribly bad.

BLACK10 · 05-27-2012, 05:39 PM

I would say it is very close to the B&B or the MBRP exhaust

Birm · 05-27-2012, 05:44 PM

Any drone with this system? I have LTs and a 231/236 tsp cam...thoughts of this catback with my setup?

BLACK10 · 05-27-2012, 05:50 PM

Drone is kind of subjective. What one person calls drone another might call normal exhaust sound. I would say there is some interior resonance but that can vary from each car and setup

Witchdoctor92 · 05-27-2012, 05:56 PM

I am interested but I am still running stock manifolds and cats. Any clips of what it would sound like with otherwise stock setup?

BLACK10 · 05-27-2012, 05:59 PM

Sorry this is the only car that we have installed it on so far.

This was the first catback I installed on my car. The drone on the interstate was horrible and I took it off almost immediately. Since then, I've had the Kooks Street Sleeper, Corsa, and Magnaflow Street Series. The only one that didn't drone was the Corsa, but I didn't like the sound of it driving around town. The drone from the Kooks and Magnaflow are not near as bad as the CNT. I have yet to find a catback that I'm 100% satisfied with.

Like I said, sound is subjective

Witchdoctor92 · 05-27-2012, 06:03 PM

Any plan to install on a stock car? At 450 I am very tempted, but I drive 300 miles a week on the highway and drone would be bad.

BLACK10 · 05-27-2012, 06:09 PM

Hopefully we will install a few more of these soon

I have been running the CNT Racing cat back on my car for almost a year and I love it. I do hear a drone but I've never had a car with a 3" exhaust that didn't.

Looks really nice. I don't like the tags on the exhaust tips though...but the system looks like it fits nicely.
