Ebay occasionally has them as well as the classifieds on here. Good luck, they can get a little high in price!

yeah i've been trying to snag one for 200 tops myself for about a year and a half now....I guess I'm going to have to figure out how to get some replicas molded and made so that I can make some money. I'll even have to get some genuine looking CMEs made and I'll make a killing off of the stuff SLP is too stupid to make.

I understand the demand for the Blackwing lids, since their quality is better than the other aftermarket lids. But I'll never understand the demand for the CME, it looks bad IMO.

I prefer 2-3" S/S Pipes on either side myself, for Camaro's....but the CME's do catch your eye.

Some say no and some say yes, but read what Rhode Island Red on page 2 wrote. There is alot of search on this question. I like mine and it fits great. But I also like the Volant twin filter also.

No performance difference. Mayby 1hp less from the Blackwing due to the neck design.

I think that a center mount valance with enough of a cutout area for 2 3.5", single wall stainless tips (a la GT2/3 911s, Vipers, Ford GT, etc.) would look hot. But I can't stand the way the 2 or 4 flatened "pot metal" outlets look on the SLP setup.
