Here is a shitty free hand done in Paint with a laptop touch mouse haha, but it kind of gives you an idea. I think it looks great! I tried to copy the size and shape of the holes as best I could and moved the tips out to the sides a few inches. I think you would need to do a little fab work with the cat back to get the tips to sit closer to the edges. I think any good exhaust shop could make pretty easy work of it. Just put an extension on both the pipes coming out of the muffler.



Sorry for spray painting some black paint on your bumper btw lol

Yeah either way it looks much better. I would assume making a valance that would clear most aftermarket cat backs would be the big seller though.

It is a little wider just to match where most dual exhaust cars exit, close to the sides.

Also wanted to be different than what you see out there available now.

Without a doubt though, I NEVER wanted it to fit without slight tweaks from exhaust shop. Every aftermarket cat back (that I know of) is off center (not symmetrically the same distance from the license plate) on Camaros.

It is due to the way GM designed their exhaust (so that they could use the same offset Z28 tip on both sides) and other companies just kept the design (for ease of install with factory hangers).

It gives it the lowered look without being lowered, I also like how it hides the muffler assembly from plain view. It really finishes up the back end look.

Someone should chop some oval tips in there, as well as the trapezoid tips - like on GTPs...

I can answer that, get this

Seriously though, VFN will be around for awhile, I've been getting too busy with other jobs to keep up with this so who knows how long this will be offered...
