2008-2009 Pontiac G8 Standard & Automatic

Installation Guide: Pontiac G8 Mach/Mach-Shorty

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.

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.

It’s too quiet… This is one of our quieter kits and if it’s not matched right some may complain that it’s too quiet.

4 cyl mode… The 4 cyl mode has a low “guttural” sound. It is not a drone or even a hum, but a less than perfect tone that is best described as “guttural.” It’s definitely an acceptable tone but it is also definitely not rich and wonderful like the 8 cyl note. Exhaust theory would never have a 4 cyl car with a free flow 2 ½” single exhaust. The G8-Mach-Balanced has the 4 cyl mode going through dual 2 ½” exhaust. To have the 4cyl mode sound this good going through dual 2 ½” pipes (free flow) is incredible. J-pipe positioning can alter the 4cyl sound as well as the 8cyl sound.

Probable Customers- People that like quieter performance. Customers with small children. People with sensitive hearing. Customers that have close neighbors and have to leave early in the morning or come home late at night.

I won’t say anything except CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY THAT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BIRTH OF THESE BABIES!

Beautiful.

Going through tunnels is a completely euphoric experience!

I also love driving next to those concrete barriers along the expressway with the windows down… pure enjoyment to the ears when the hammer drops!

I do not know how an exhaust system could look any better. If it sounds half as good as it looks… you are a lucky man!

Congrats…

Looks like you guys will be giving the Corsa system a run for the money. Looks and sounds good!
