UUC shifter/bushing and Magnaflow Exhaust Well got around to having the UUC shifter installed with Lindsay bushing and a new Magnaflow exhaust system by ECP up here in Ontario.
My vette (Not2melo) is almost ready to be put away for the winter so I decided to get a few new mods on the CTS-V.
Manny at ECP worked his charm on installing a UUC short shifter with a pair of Lindsay Cadillac bushing and we threw on a Magnaflow cat
back exhaust system.
We the UUC shifter is just amazing, no more sloppy shifter play and the shift are much more percise, just the way GM should have made
the car in the first place. Cannot say enough about how this makes the car feel now!!
The Magnaflow exhaust added a nice deep tone to the Caddy now and the 4" tips look great on the car.
Next ECP mods for the Caddy are Specter Werkes Sports bushings and BMR Pinion Support Brace.
Thanks for the work Manny, great job, I would recommend him to anyone in the Ontario area.
Here are some quick photos of the work we did today on the car below:
UUC shifter almost installed from below.
UUC shifter installed from above.
Stock Exhaust removed, wow all in one welded piece!
The action shot.
Nice and shiny.
Final adjustments.

hows the drone with the new exhaust? Is the car much louder then stock?
that shifter must feel real nice. I have yet to do it and everyone that does, only rants and raves about how this is how the car should have left the factory.

The exhaust does not drone that much at all, very acceptable, only notice
in 6th on the hwy around 1600rpm.
Just keep out of that range if it bugs you and your fine, city driving its fine, the sound has mellowed a bit after driving a few weeks.
I am more then happy with the exhuast and the price.
As for the shift anything is better then stock, UUC and bushings are the cats *** for this car, worth every penny!
I am getting the Specter bushings installed by Manny@ECP this sunday to keep wheel hop down, then maybe a BMR pinion support.
