I took the car over a few large speed bumps and got no scrape. My car is stock height tho.
I have less than 3" of ground clearance currently, so it scrapes often. Any improvement would be welcome.

The prototypes look awesome!

Ya, who knows. Gotta make sure everything fits good before we take anyone's money.

Our test Camaro got delayed. It ran out of injector on the dyno today. Gotta wait for injectors now. Hopefully next week we can finish everything up.

GuardianMagnuSS: Once we confirm fitment and pricing, we will have a non categorized link put up to our website. From there pre-orders can be place, and eta would run 2-3 months.

slikrider20: Clamps are pretty good. They hold up better than the Pypes clamps we have tried in the past. Just make sure to slot the Y-Pipe 1" on the female connections in order for them to clamp down on the pipe correctly.

Thanks
Sean

Will 1 3/4" and 1 7/8" use the same gauge pipe for the primaries?

Thanks Sean, I'm holding off on any other header and y pipe for yours. Subscribed for updates too. Works out perfect cuz I can get inspection and then do the ORY and not worry for a while if they give me **** over it!

Any chance of a Head to Head "Shootout" on the Dyno against the KOOKS setups ???

I would definitely buy the true dual kit that went over the rear axel, along with your headers over Texas Speed, if you put them together. I wouldn't mind the 3" before the rear axel and 2.5"over. That would be more than plenty.
