Default Custom Center Exhaust?

I get good deals on exhaust work so I was wondering if I could get a custom center dual tipped exhaust (like the newer SS) for a 98 Z28?
What would have to be done to the car underneith hangers wise? Also do I need to change the bumper?

Are you looking for the CME look?

There are suppliers selling the kits now to all customers. It runs about $999. No more vin needed anymore.

I thought mine would stay rare, but now they will start popping up all over.

I want the CMElook but theirs no way in hell I'm paying $1000US when I can get in done locally for much cheaper.
I've looked at some of the kits on the net and it seems like there aren't many changes to be done to make the exhaust work and mount up.

The dual center outlet looks much better than the quad outlet that SLP sells. Know any specific websites that sell the dual center exhaust kit?

I haven't found any yet.
What I need to find is the rear bumper exentions sold alone not as part of a tip kit.

The part number is 10758K, it's listed on the SLP PP website. It is a rear valance kit with fasteners and double sided tape. Comes primed and ready to paint! BTW, this is the correct valance that came with the factory dual tip design not the valance that works with the quad tip design (which is much more dramatic).

I've been trying to track down a set of dual CME tips so that I can convert my GMMG to CME. I also thought about buying the valance from SLP and trying to customize with some square-oval tips and some mandrel bent stainless...
