I plan to have not installed the system yet. There is a link a few pages back where someone made it work with there CME

We normally do not sell them separately, but you can add the caps when you order. Remember, call us for great deals on these @ 443-730-9428!

Has anybody run Spohn solid motor mounts with this exhaust? I know they raise the engine up a little more than other options

Well I went ahead with the Spohn solid motor mounts and Kooks true duals and I can now personally confirm that they work great together! Love those Spohn solids. That combined with a Lunati camshaft and the Kooks headers/exhaust turned it into a totally different car, in a very good way. Oh yeah, also got it lowered with BMR springs but everything fits well. Very tight, but it fits.

Well...I'd say it installs fairly easily initially. Took me a lot of tweaks to get it just just right so there were no leaks and nothing hitting though. Had to put the car back up on stands a few times and buy a few different parts to get it just right.

It installed easy for me. Took about 2 hours.... the hardest part was the rear hangers and getting it to sit up over the axle. Use an impact to tighten it. No leaks then.

I've got these on my 02 z28 vert. tight fit. had to loose my tunnel brace and fuel tank shield. sounded awesome first month then my exhaust note changed slightly still sounds good. battled leaks with the coulplings so we lacked them to prevent movement. over axle was a tight spot for touching suspension.

I am thinking about switching the x pipe section out for the catted version. Since doing the H/C/I swap last spring the car is louder in spots of the rpm range. It is tolerable for me but it's a bit much for my 4yr old. Mainly around 45 mph there is a drone that was not there before. I have heard the kooks high flow cats flow good but I am guessing the price of that Catted X is going to cost as much as I paid for the Exhaust back in 2011. Any other ideas without hacking the exhaust up?

For ME, I gained 35hp peak and 20+ a cross the curve in gutting them thru my 460. I would assume less for small cubes, but still.....

yea pass on that...the exhaust is definitely tolerable and sounds excellent. not worth messing with if I am going to lose a bit of power...I thought maybe if it was 5whp or less, it might be worth it for less fuel smell and a little bit quieter.
