Took me longer to get the oem exhaust out then to install this system. Killer welds and smooth bends. Cold starts will warm your heart, it just sounds so dang good. It’s not very loud if you’re easy on the throttle, but put your foot down and it’ll turn heads. Hands down the best cat-back system out there!!

This Competitor series all I can say is...WOW! Completely exceeded my expectations and would HIGHLY recommend this product. Best sound out there.

Purchased this exhaust for my 2019 Silverado classic, super easy installation, even better sound!! Only had it on a few days and have had numerous people ask what I have on my truck. Yes you can hear it in your truck “kind of the point when you install a aftermarket exhaust” but zero drone. Cruising speeds almost not even noticeable, but when you punch it boy does it talk!! 100% satisfied!!!

Purchased my kit about 6 months ago and have been extremely impressed and satisfied from day one. Carven makes a top notch product that rivals and/or exceeds the systems from Borla and Corsa! Installation was easy and took approximately an hour. Performance after installation has been flawless and definitely has exceeded my expectations!!

I purchased the Competitor series because it just had *that* growl to it. Cold starts will warm your heart with this exhaust. It sounds so damned good. After it warms up, it's pretty tame if you're lightly cruising around. It'll scream though if you want it to. The quality of everything is superb. I also ordered the dual exit tip for some extra flash and it looks great. Installed in roughly an hour at a friend's house on his lift. That's including cool down time and a few beers here and there.

Love this exhaust, actually everyone does. Always getting compliments on the sound. Head turning heavenly tone.

Install of the product was simple, welds looked killer and the bends, cuts and fitment were top notch. Sound is really good. Was impressed at first start up and enjoy the new sounds throughout all RPMs. Would highly recommend this product.

Just got it today and had it installed in about 20 minutes tops. I have to say that I am beyond impressed with how this sounds! After looking at all of the other cat-back systems on the market, most are about $1,000, I was a little hesitant to order this one. Mainly because I had never even heard of Carven. I stumbled upon this brand while searching online forums and then listening to every YouTube video I could find. They sound very similar in tone as the Borla XR-1 bit for a way better price. In fact, I had the XR-1 on my 05 Silverado and it was quieter than this system. This is exactly what I was hoping and looking for!! Thank you Carven!

Installed in under 15 minutes. By far the best sound exhaust out there. I manage a service department for a Chevrolet dealership and this is way better than the borla system they offer and the Gm performance system and it’s half the price. In the cab it is not noisy and have no issues riding at highway speeds for my 1 hour one way commute.

I manage a truck accessory shop. We install a LOT of Magnaflow and Flowmaster stuff. I tried this exhaust on my personal truck and let me tell you, it is leaps and bounds above all of the others. The fit and finish was better than the other more expensive cat-backs. Also, my truck with the 5.3 sounds way meaner than a customers truck with Magnaflow on the 6.2. Plus, his system fit like crap. I made believers out of all of the diehard flowmaster guys I work with on the first start-up.
