Description

The 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 quiet with a soft performance tone. 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.

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

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

Overall note outside cabin is a 4.
Overall inside cabin exhaust note 3.

This is a truly tasteful performance exhaust kit for your G8. It is not “raw or exotic” but it is deep, smooth and mean. 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.

8cyl to 4cyl jump…almost inaudible.
4cyl to 8cyl jump…smooth octave change, not sharp at all.

Going up hills… if your eyes were closed you would not know you were going up a hill.

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

Overall note outside cabin is a 6.
Overall inside cabin exhaust note 4.

The G8 Mach-Shorty-Balanced exhaust kit has more sound, and a meaner sound compared to the G8 Mach. While the G8 Mach has a moderate or mid range exhaust note outside the cabin the G8 Mach-Shorty-Balanced exhaust kit has that true ‘American Muscle” sound. The exhaust note throughout the spectrum never even hints at raspy or ricey. Deep, full, smooth and mean would characterize the exhaust note outside the cabin. Inside the cabin it still remains tasteful.

8cyl to 4cyl jump…smooth transition.
4cyl to 8cyl jump…sharper octave change, definitely more pronounced than either the Mach or the Mach-Balanced exhaust kit.

Going up hills… You can hear the extra “pull” when going up hills but it never gets to a drone or hum
