Default Advice should I remove the CME or keep it?

Need your technical, professional and experience opinion on should I remove the CME to install true duals or could I install true duals and keep my CME.

If you get the duals to go over the axle and end
up in just the right place, you could use the last
90-degree bend and the CME tips. That's a big "if"
to get the pipes bent, just so. The thing is a
bunch of segments, at the back.

But aside from appearance, it's just another foot
of pipe and bends. Maybe you should put a pair of
black turndowns that can't be seen, and just hang
the CME tips there with some brackets, for looks.

dangit, beat me to it.


except i'm gonna run a TD CME i just want the valence haha




but, try to find a shop that will make you a true duals setup using the CME tips. just read through the sticky and see how other people ahve done it. IMO, it's the best looking tips for the best sounding exhaust you can do for an Fbody

I think the CME is one of the only tip setups that look good on the Camaros.
Tips that look good on these cars are few and far between, even with the dual duals its almost as if something is missing. CME just looks complete.
If you already have it, I'd hang onto it.

it's one of the few options on these cars that the aftermarket has yet to outdue. IMO anyway. If i had a camaro, it WOULD have CME, if possible. The corsa premium tips would be a close 2nd... but id still rather have CME. It's just not common
