All of us at Solo Performance are excited to bring our G8 Street-Race series converter back (cat-back) stainless steel, mandrel bent, dual exhaust kit to the G8 community. These no drone exhaust kits offer a deep, raw, rich and smooth exhaust note on the outside and are non-invasive on the inside. These are “Sound on Demand” exhaust systems that produce the sound you want when accelerating or revving but become quiet at cruise speeds. The Street Race is the loudest Solo kit for the G8 as it has an X-Pipe and no muffler. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSolo has replaced that annoying cruise speed cabin drone with a comfortable exhaust note through advanced technology and a painstaking R\u0026amp;D process. Our G8-Street-Race 3”  exhaust kits is a loud ( our loudest ) sounding performance exhaust kit with a deep 60’s American Muscle sound and no drone. The G8-Street Race has a front X-Pipe that equalizes the cylinder pressure and accelerates while softening and smoothening the exhaust note. At Solo we realize that there are many different tastes and styles in performance exhaust and we strive to give you choice to satisfy your needs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe tailpipe assembly comes with Solo’s tunable J-Pipes. These J-pipes are capped off on the end, and as the sound waves enter the J-pipe they bottom out on the end cap and bounce back. Upon the sound wave re-entering the exhaust flow, it collides with the specific G8 drone frequency and cancels it out. Since all G8 engine harmonics are not exactly the same, we have made a slider end cap (just loosen the band clamp and slide the piece longer or shorter) so that you can fine tune the exhaust note if necessary.

Many of our customers have several mods to their G8 and requested that we make a 3” cat-back kit to accommodate the extra flow that they need for their many upgrades. We recommend this 3” kit for people who have a minimum of… computer tune, intake, Solo high flow converters or headers. Without these minimum amount of mods the G8-MACH-X3 would be too much flow and we would recommend our standard 2.5” systems. If you already have or are planning on these mods then the 3” kit is a great option. The G8-MACH-X3 kit only comes with T304 polished stainless steel dual staggered 3.5” outlet exhaust tips which means that you would need the GXP diffuser to accommodate these large tips. If you don’t already have the GXP diffuser you can pick one up at your local dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote: This G8-MACH-X3 kit bolts up to the Solo High Flow Converters ( sold separately ) or the stock converters.

It has a strikingly deep, full 60’s muscle car tone and the best part is we’ve created that fantastic sound without the drone usually associated with the G8. Our front MACH-X3 muffler is a T-304 stainless steel X-Design muffler that is heavily packed with stainless steel wool and ceramic fibre with a special design Solo louvering system to deaden the troubling RPM ranges and collide and accelerate the exhaust gasses. This X-Muffler works in conjunction with our rear J-Pipes. The rear Solo tunable J-Pipes These J-pipes are capped off on the end and as the sound waves enter the J-pipe, they bottom out on the end cap at a very specific point and then bounce back. Upon the sound wave re-entering the exhaust flow, it collides with the specific G8 drone frequency and cancels it out. The Solo Tailpipe section has been built with ease of installation in mind. The 3.5” dual outlet tips are separate so that you can adjust them in or out and side to side.

This is what these catalytic converters do to the Pontiac G8. The exhaust note becomes “RAW” with a huge burble on decal. The best part is that there is no drone with any of our exhaust kits. We were surprised to see that Pontiac had decreased the internal size of their catalytic converters to 1 ¾” on the inlet side. We suspect that they did this for sound control. Our catalytic converters are a full 2 ½”, we use a heave duty flex pipe and laser cut stainless steel flanges along with our stainless steel pipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks so much to NightWing, Zepcom, and JEC G8GT for the use of their cars during our initial test and design phase.

We have these catalytic converters far overrated for this car and this additional “spray” (the catalyst rare metals) is what helps to keep the engine light off. We also have to use an oxygen sensor extender in the two rear O2 ports. The extender is a Solo designed product and is the final puzzle piece to keeping the engine light off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch testing was done to ensure that we were able to combat the engine light problem.

All of us at Solo Performance are excited to bring our G8 Street-Race series converter back (cat-back) stainless steel, mandrel bent, dual exhaust kit to the G8 community. These no drone exhaust kits offer a deep, raw, rich and smooth exhaust note on the outside and are non-invasive on the inside. These are “Sound on Demand” exhaust systems that produce the sound you want when accelerating or revving but become quiet at cruise speeds. The Street Race is the loudest Solo kit for the G8 as it has an X-Pipe and no muffler. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSolo has replaced that annoying cruise speed cabin drone with a comfortable exhaust note through advanced technology and a painstaking R\u0026amp;D process. Our G8-Street-Race2 ½”  exhaust kits is a loud ( our loudest ) sounding performance exhaust kit with a deep 60’s American Muscle sound and no drone. The G8-Street Race has a front X-Pipe that equalizes the cylinder pressure and accelerates while softening and smoothing the exhaust note. At Solo we realize that there are many different tastes and styles in performance exhaust and we strive to give you choice to satisfy your needs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe tailpipe assembly comes with Solo’s tunable J-Pipes. These J-pipes are capped off on the end, and as the sound waves enter the J-pipe they bottom out on the end cap and bounce back. Upon the sound wave re-entering the exhaust flow, it collides with the specific G8 drone frequency and cancels it out. Since all G8 engine harmonics are not exactly the same, we have made a slider end cap (just loosen the band clamp and slide the piece longer or shorter) so that you can fine tune the exhaust note if necessary.
