Arrow NOVEL GSF GS-F Catback Exhaust (Stock Headers)

Here is the long anticipated video.... After a lot of procrastinating finally uploaded the video sound clip. The Headers are Stock & the Catback is a Full NOVEL.

NOVEL Catback System (Stock Headers)

As evident, IMO the Catback is designed as such that is responsible for 70% of the unique NOVEL sound at lower revving. At higher RPMS the high pitch is missing which comes from the headers.


For reference here is James video of his GSF with NOVEL headers & Stock system.
NOVEL Headers (Stock Catback)

and of course to get the FULL NOVEL sound you need to Complete system. Video below for reference:

Your bottom tips seem a bit far out

Most likely looks like that due to the angle of the camera/lens used but yeah the bottom left tips seem out of place.

What are the gains from the full novel catback? Do you have a closeup of the tips and did you get the remote for the valve control? How much was everything? Thanks in advance!

Sorry if it happens to be rude reyrey... but what are the gains of a gain on a GSF ? You already have 477hp to play with, what makes the car absolutely too powerful for normal street use.

I can't seem to find any other header brand that comes close to the sound the Novel ones make. I hate that big V8 chevy rumble. I thought only long tube headers did that, but it seems that certain equal length ones do as well.

This sound similar to the Novel ISF system I think its ECM tune as well as audio enhanced , eg enclosed building, still sounds good.

That sounds awesome, almost LFA like. That'll be the first mod when I get my GSF. How much did the install run? I dont think this will be easy/fast to install.

I had Redline Performance in Arlington, /tx do the Install. Install was fairly simple, but getting the vale control switch & vales to work was a bit tricky.
