Solo Performance Exhaust Pontiac G8 V6 (2008-2009) Catback or Axleback

Fitment Information

• Pontiac G8 (2008, 2009)
• Standard & Automatic
• V6 models only

V6 Axleback Specs & Features:

• V6 G8 Stock system
• Stock system on rev… The stock system on the V6 G8 while revving sounds quiet and you can hear the motor. There is not much noise at all from the exhaust. The stock rev is not a good sound or a bad sound, just some motor noise.
• Stock system while driving… When you are under load, you can hear the motor winding up and that’s all. Once cruising, it’s dead quiet and all you can hear is road noise.
• Solo Performance V6 G8 Axle Back
  
• Rev… A very deep base tone that is a smooth and full exhaust note.
• Driving… While under load the V6 G8 exhaust note has a nice “bite” deep and aggressive with a muscle car flavour. The exhaust note never gets out of hand. It always seems to be in control. No drone throughout the RPM spectrum, and it has a soft melodious hum at cruise speeds.

Emissions Compliance

This is an axleback exhaust and does not alter, replace, or modify any emissions equipment.

It is extremely difficult to get the V6 G8 to have enough exhaust note to be satisfying to the customer, and not to drone. We labored long and hard to find what we think is the perfect balance point of a great exhaust note and a very acceptable tone in the inherent “trouble” ranges of the V6 G8. If it were any louder, the trouble ranges would be unacceptable, and any softer and the exhaust note would not have enough “bite” to it.

This kit is direct bolt-on, and installation instructions will be included with your tracking email after purchase.

V6 Catback Specs and Features:

The G8 V6 Mach Balanced exhaust kit is classed as a tasteful performance exhaust kit. Outside the cabin it has a refined smooth high-performance exhaust note that doesn’t get out of hand, inside the cabin it is has a great performance tone while being non-invasive. It uses Solo’s 14” Mach muffler and J-pipes. It also incorporates a “balance” pipe in the front pipe section to calm the noise and soften the exhaust note which is very much needed on the V6.

This kit uses stainless steel, polished muffler (inside and out) and stainless steel, staggered dual exhaust tips and mandrel bent exhaust pipes.

1-10 scale… 1 being stock quiet and 10 being rockin’ noisy

Overall note outside cabin is a 5-6.

Overall inside cabin exhaust note 4-5.

This is a truly tasteful performance exhaust kit for your G8. It is a deep, smooth, rich and mean exhaust note. This exhaust set up could be viewed as two systems in one. It’s very tame when driving slowly yet it comes to life when you accelerate.
