Real Customer Feedback

“I installed the CHOPacabra cam in my 2011 Silverado 1500, and the difference is night and day. The sound is aggressive, and I felt the power increase right away. It’s a perfect match with the factory converter, and I didn’t have to change anything else. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add some serious growl to their truck!”

“As a 2008 Camaro owner, I was looking for something that would give my car some serious attitude. The CHOPacabra cam delivered! The chop is exactly what I wanted, and I noticed a significant power boost on the dyno.”
