Default Summit Universal X-Pipe Kits

How difficult would it be to install a Summit® Universal X-Pipe Kits on a camaro with pacesetter lt headers?

Wasn't at all hard for the shop that did it for me. It took them a good 4 hours or so to do it but it was done perfectly. Required some bending, cutting, and welding, something I wouldn't personally do without the right tools and know-how but it can be done.

i have done quite a few x-pipe setups with the summit and jegs uni kits. i always tuck the mufflers in as close as i can to the drive shaft and torque arm and suck them way up to the body. the above looks good but not as far in as i like and you loose ground clearence. on all the ones i have done the lowest part is always the collectors.

it takes me about 3 hrs to do a setup with no lift. a lift would save a ton of time.

In the video, I still hadn't had my mufflers moved. They were just hanging too low there. So, I took it back a couple months ago and had it ran like this. Sorry the underside of the car is kinda dirty. I didn't really have much of a choice of driving it in the snow last week.

Wasn't cheap...Cost me $568 which included labor plus the turndowns, paint, hangers, brake clean etc. Typically its not that high but the place I took it too is an expensive shop but I knew it would be done right.

Man, that's pretty high. I had them do my LT header install, fab the x, bought piping from them to take out the back, and they also put my plugs and wires on. It only cost me $300. It would've only been $200, but they had too many difficulties taking off my old Edelbrock TES shorties. Then, I also didn't have much ground clearance. So, I had to take it back and have them move the mufflers and bend all new piping after the x, and they also painted it all black. But, that was still only another $120.
