Sould be on tomorrow one way or another.. I was going to just take it to a shop cause i figured one cut one weld = $15 or so. Well the guy said prob 30, which is feasable.. i asked some other places and those dip ***** over the phone couldnt wrap there damn brains over this simple idea and kept asking what it was then telling me around $60. Well, i have to put my shocks and stuff in also and do some other things so im going to attempt to do it all tomorrow morning. I only have the spare tire jack, and ill be using cinder blocks to keep it up. Man, i wish i was back at home, college blows for trying to do this sort of thing.

Do you get any exhaust fume smell in the car ?

I want to run my ARH's to a set of HF cats-then to a set of 3" bullets with a couple of down-turns

Do you think I will get exhaust fumes lol in the car

I want to save weight but keep my bullet exhaust tone

Thanks

Alright fokes, got it installed today and its the best thing i coulda done. Throttle response is immediate, no flowmaster baffles to go through, deep rich tone to it, less weight, no rasp, the whole 9 yards. It only cost 20 to throw it on there i ended up just taking it to a shop. Ill throw up some pics tomorrow!

Then my job let me have access to powdercoating and now i can tolerate what i got at least haha but it did get me used to how they look (way better in person) more agressive looking id say. Still like the chrome c6's but black has definatly grown on me, like it a little better than the flashy ****..for now at least lol

IMO, the Camaro's look better with no visible tailpipes at the rear unless you have a CME w/rear bumper kit.

Glad it worked out for ya man. I loved the sound of the spiral flow. That muffler is perfect for the street, not too loud but better than any cat back I've heard. I'm running a Dynomax bullet off the y now

That's a nice looking merger, but why didn't you dump it further back?
Is it strictly for the track?
