For those who have CME... COME IN! Are your 90 degree bends stainless steel? I might go tomorrow to get my tips welded on and I'm wondering if I should go with stainless steel. Also, on the center of your valences is it screwed into the bumper? The only way I would be able to do this is if I take off my rear bumper.

Mine are the stock bends that came with the slp cme tips. I don't think they're stainless. As for the valance, I used two screws to secure mine in the center. I jacked the rear end up, got under, and drilled 2 self-tapping screws. I don't think you'd need to tremove the rear bumper unless you have no way of getting the rear up.

I guess it was different for me since I didn't have to fasten anything from behind when I used the self-tapping screws. I guess you wouldn't have to fasten anything from behind if you used the pine tree fasteners either, but the bolts provide a bit more security. Either way you go, I don't think you'll have any problems with the tape ever coming off.

im going to be running cme. i just bought the ebay stainless tips and 90's. im going to be running kooks 1 7/8 ory through a magna flow. can you say stainless
. im dropping my valence off to get painted tomorrow.
so if i put my valence on with double sided tape (what kind?) where should i place it on the valence? i don't really want to tack the valence to the bumper. isn't that sorta like dry wall screws???
btw, the guy i bought the headers and y from recommended the 3" hangers so they want pinch. my buddy that's installed exhaust before said the stockers are fine. so what should i do?
last thing, i don't know much about exhaust but does everything have to be welded?
i hope you guys can help. ill reward you with some sound clips and photos in a few wks if you can help deal?

so how many hours do you think it would take to install from the headers to the cme? i got guy that's gonna quote me. i think i could do the magnaflow catback with the cme exit and attach the valence and have him put the headers and y on to save money. nothing has arrived yet so i don't know what ill need. would i have to use new clamps? the stock u bends will just hold up the exhaust after i clamp everything down right?
