Has anyone installed the GMMG with the Center Mount Exhaust? If so, how much of a problem was it. Did you need to have special pipes bent? If I want to keep the SLP SS Exhaust in case I ever want to go back to stock, what pieces would I need to hook up the GMMG to the CME. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm with the Air Force in Germany and it is very difficult to get the bends etc over there at a reasonable price so I'd like to order everything I need at once rather than having to wait for it.

Thanks.

it should just hook right up? CME mounts to just about any aftermarket exhaust minus the tips. shouldn't have to have ANY bends made whatsoever. your CME has all the special bends require and should unclamp and come off, and then leave the tips off the GMMG and slide the CME exhaust assy right onto it. good luck!

you a pilot, boom operator or what? i presume your handle denotes the airframe you fly in? i was with the 1st cav for three years.

Good luck reusing the 90 degree bends already attached to your exhaust...they wouldn't come off of mine when I tried to attach it to my Hooker. Any good exhaust shop could do this though...it is only two extra 90 degree bends towards the center to get it to fit. I have them attached to my true duals now, but it was all custom done.

SLP has all the parts you need to connect a CME to your GMMG. the parts are: 2 90 degree bends, CME tips, and rear valence. However, all those parts are $525 from SLP and you still have to get the valence painted. that's a lot for just tips but IMO, CME are the best tips on a camaro.

Buy two 90deg bends from SLP like mentioned above and head to a muffler shop. They will cut and expand the tips to work with the gmmg exit pipes.

THE STOCK BENDS DID NOT LINE UP WITH THE GMMG PIPES!!! Thats where all my problems came from like breaking the tips apart. Watch those tips so yours don't break at the weld.

Here is a pick of mine.

I was a pilot. Spent several years in both the KC-135 and KC-10.

Thanks for the advice. I sure don't want to break my CME.

Yep the tips can be broken. Happened to mine when I did the GMMG a little over 3 years ago.

Honestly, that's why I went with new tips when I had my duals fabbed up. They come with extra reinforcement to keep this from happening.

There is an extra piece of boxed aluminum welded in behind the original little brace.
