My kit did not come with installation instructions. Did anyone else’s kit have instructions?

No mine didn't. This the exhaust was kinda self explanatory.

Now the pipes hit the upper PAB and rattles its *** off. I'm gona have to come up with a hanger to hold the pipes up. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you fix it... outside of going to the muffler shop?

Had the same problem. I fixed it by rotating the passenger side tail pipe/muffler on the over-axle pipe and put more weight/tension on the hangar. You need to hold it in that position when tightening the clamp, so You may need two people.

Good idea with using the existing clamps with new hardware for cheap. Ill definitely do that when I order one of their kits. I also think a cheap set of dynomax race bullets would sound killer if someone doesnt like the sound of the supplied mufflers. And they're only 50 bucks a piece.

Thanks for the pic. Give me an idea how much room I will have to play with if I decide to run a different set of mufflers with turn downs instead of the supplied tips. Mainly because I have never been a fan of tips out the back on a camaro other than a CME setup.

Yes it is. it's basically a straight through with a wire mesh. It supposedly has laminar flow. I didn't notice a power difference between the kooks bullets and the DBX, but my ear drums and neighbors definitely noticed a difference.

MUCH quieter, or a little? Or louder? You really don't say...

Dropped from 115 dB to 90-95 dB. So, significantly quieter. But still loud compared to 99% of cars on the road. QUiet enough I stopped receiving death threats

I'll give it a try,thanks MChampion.
I also don't like the tips,I don't like anything other then CME. I'm still trying to figure out if I can make them work with this exhaust. I ran it with the tips on and didn't like the sound. I removed them and it give it a deeper tone but it is louder then I would like. I had a borla before and I liked how it sounded at idle and it would scream at WOT.

I was thinking the same thing.I'm sure my car will pass the way it is now. I'm thinking cats might quit it down some????? Its just a little to loud,no that's a lie its alot to loud "for me"riding down the road,I'll come up with a answer to make it sound like I want. It is fun when your into it though......
I have to say tho....it is one hell of a nice system with a nice price.
