Default GEN 1 CTS-V Test Pipes/Cat Delete

I'm selling the test pipes I had made as I'm not using them. They were made locally out of mild steel but have been sprayed with black header coating on the outside. As you can see from the pics, there is several coats of the header high temp spray and it seems pretty durable. These have the O2 bungs welded in and they have been test fitted.
Reason for selling: I don't have mufflers and after hearing a wide open exhaust without cat's I took them off right away as it was way too loud.

$180 Shipped (paypal fees included)

Very interested although I'll have to check and see what my local shop would charge for a set of these.

They still require a tune to eliminate the check engine light right?

I am running stock cats, X pipe and muffler delete so I too would have a straight exhaust. I would get some mufflers welded back in soon after as I'm sure straight pipe would be obnoxious...

When I put these in, I never threw a code...but not sure if that's because of the E85, perhaps I was still running clean enough to not get a CEL. I would assume you would need to tune that out though. My local guy charged me $250 to make these but the price was high because they didn't have a jig or anything for the V....although it shouldn't be too hard. I bought the high temp spray and coated them myself.

I have a few gaskets that go between the test pipes and the exhaust system (not between the cats and headers). I also have all the stainless bolts and washers for them. Complete package ready to bolt in with no downtime

Also FYI, that little blemish you see on the first pic is a "P" welded on it to designate the Passenger side one which makes install a bit easier since they're so close in shape.

Pm me your lowest price shipped to 77546. Really wasn't expecting to spend anymore money on the car for awhile as I just paid for classes and had some other unexpected expenses come up. I'd like to get a set of these though since it will prob be awhile before I will be able to afford long tubes...

This fits stock manifolds and connects to the stock exhaust?
