I have an LS3 and LOVE the muffler delete. I wasted $450 on an Axelback. Sold for $200 and had a quality mandrel bent pipes welded in. GO FOR IT. Don't waste your money on an axelback. Since you have an automatic, you should get a dyno and they can adjust for that.

With the auto V8, under low-load conditions, I think four cylinders shut down.

STRAIGHT OUT OF THE OWNERS MANUAL:

Active Fuel Management®
Vehicles with V8 engines and an automatic transmission have Active Fuel Management®. This system allows the engine to operate on either all or half of its cylinders, depending on the driving conditions.
When less power is required, such as cruising at a constant vehicle speed, the system will operate in the half cylinder mode, allowing the vehicle to achieve better fuel economy. When greater power demands are required, such as accelerating from a stop, passing, or merging onto a freeway, the system will maintain full-cylinder operation.

Exactly right, and the only thing I HATE about my Camaro! I've not done it, but with a tuner, you can turn the AFM off. (Don't want to start the debate over voiding engine warranty though. )
