We’re big fans of Cadillac’s CTS-V line of performance sedans, coupes, and wagons. Since their inception in 2004, Cadillac’s CTS-V performance models have inspired more V performance models, rejuvenated Cadillac’s image among folks under the age of 55, and ultimately impressed the hell out of every red blooded car enthusiast. Oh, and they have scared the hell out of a bunch of European sport sedan owners too. Whether they are just a hot street car, weekend drag racer, or road racing machine, they seem to do it all pretty well. We have friends who own them, friends who have owned them, and friends who want to own them. We fall into the last category, cause those suckers are awesome and I would love to have one as a daily driver. Supercharged power is a fun thing for sure.
Thanks to the team at Hooker Blackheart, CTS-V owners now have the choice of four different exhaust systems. Below is all the info from Hooker.

These race-only 3-inch systems are 100-percent hand-welded and feature dual high-flow/straight-through mufflers, an X-pipe that reduces in-cabin exhaust drone, and angle-cut dual-wall polished stainless tips with-laser etched Hooker BlackHeart logos.

COUPE AXLE-BACK EXHAUST SYSTEMS
