Default what is all needed for the cme exhaust?

im looking at getting a CME exhaust within the next year or so but what is needed to piece this together? is it just the tips, valance, and the 90s that go to the muffler? do i need to get a new muffler? i have a magnaflow muffller now. would the valance still look good if say it was first black and then painted white? also i heard that ebay CME tips are garbage, is this true and what makes some better than others? also how is the valance attached to the bumper? is there anything that i should be aware of when buying this setup? i know i have a lot of questions and maybe all of them arnt going to get answered but i just thought id throw them out there! thanks in advance!

All you need are the 90's, tips and the valance. Your magnaflow should work just fine, mine is hooked up to a borla. If you can find original SLP tips and valance, that would be your best bet, but it will be expensive!! I bought ebay tips and an aftermarket valance from a vendor on this site. The valance attaches to the bumper in three spots. Dead center above the tips, and behind the rear tires using the factory plastic pushpins. the rest of the valance is attached using 3m tape. It isn't cheap, but you can't beat CME on a camaro!!

as long as they are the thick tips you'll be fine.. most of the ebay ones are thin and don't look very good imo. the tips themselves should be connected as a single piece for strength reasons
