Finally got to work on the Caddy today. I only worked on it for 3 hours and I don't TIG weld I use a MIG welder. All the exhaust is stainless although some of it is 304 I don't know what MBRP stuff is.

I did not take a pic of the back but I have a little work to do to get the mufflers to fit. The X pipe and the tailpipes fit nicely. I need to find out of the MBRP mufflers are directional or not.

Bad pic of the Drivers' side tailpipe. Making exhaust isn't exactly the easiest thing I have done. This is not a bolt on by any means. The X pipe and the rear pipes fit fine. I had to reweld the exhaust hangers on the muffler as well.

Mmmm so if i had to pay a shop to fab up the rear pipes, would you say its not quite worth it?

Yeah it isn't a bolt on. I wish it were but I did get it finished tonight and holy crap it runs way better and it sounds incredible. I will get a sound clip tomorrow all I have tonight is a phone to record with.

looks legit, so you resued all three stock exhaust hangers for each muffler?
I wish the stock exhaust wasn't a one piece design, i really limited the aftermarket fit imo. most aftermarket systems could use a hanger before the IRS.

Yes I used all 3 stock hangers. I cut the hangers off of the Camaro exhaust then put the muffler on a transmission jack and aligned it. Then I put the hangers through the rubber pieces and welded them to the mufflers. I like that the Camaro has the 3rd hanger under the rear diff. It seems to support the exhaust better.
