The drivers side of my original is beat to ****. Passenger is still in good shape, but has a fold. The second pair are brand new in the attic awaiting a time when the car is rolling under its own power again.

Can you outrun a dog? If so, how about buckshot?

96 was a very special year which makes it a "Bitch" to own. The 96SS floor mats actually say "Z28/SS" instead of "CamaroSS" in that the first year of production it was referred to as a Z28SS which they later dropped the next year. So in 96 the following items will say Z28SS instead of CamaroSS:

Floor Mats
Air Intake Box
SLP Build Sheet
Key Chains (Fobs as they refer to them)/Ash Tray Plaque

That's were I was wondering if they still had the original "Stamp" or whatever that they use to make it from 1996 that they could make a special run for a few owners as I am not sure how Floor Mats are made if is more of a hands on process I don't see what the person couldn't stitch Z28SS pattern instead of CamaroSS as the rest of the floor mat is exactly the same.

I got lucky on my Teal SS & found a TOTL exhaust sitting in a guy's local shop. Said it came off his brother's 97 SS and was taken off right after he purchased it. So the whole exhaust I got is basically like brand new. I immediately took off the junk *** flowmaster that the previous owner put on the car.

I traded my 3.5" single Mufflex catback with Magnaflow, for a 2OTL catback system that the previous owner polished out..I dont think I'll be letting it go, for a while.

You could always make your own? Use a Magnaflow muffler and have a shop make the tails' for ya? If you end up not finding a catback.

I wish mine was a little louder at idle. It does sound great though.

I paid around $200 shipped for mine 2 years ago... I got lucky. Was a little rough when I got it, but it clean up very good.

Holy **** that cleaned up well. What did you do to make all the piping look like that? Especially the surface rusted pipes?

Here's mine, I got lucky that it was already in good shape.

Exhaust came in today was pumped to get started lets just say I didn't make it as far as i wanted. I seemed to run into issues where the 320 wet sand wouldn't take off the the residue. Any suggestions?

See the before and after below:

I would guess you would need something more aggressive that 320 to start. Maybe some steel wool or a scotch brite pad to get the rough stuff off. You can probably work towards the finer stuff just like doing body work. I am sure google also has a lot if info on polishing stainless.

Not sure how valid but a lot of the searches I read said DO NOT use steel wool or sand paper as it removes the protective barrier and allow for even easier future rusting as well it will scratch the stainless.

They stated to use acid based applications and/or specials stainless compounds along with a cloth or light sponge. I also read an article about Baking Soda.

Not sure about this as I was recommended by various people to use things like 0000 Steel Wool or Wet Sanding but I guess its worth a shot before I continue to blister my hands.

I would also get a scotch brite pad and go to town. Going from 320 to 1500 is kind of a big jump. I'd probably throw 800 in between and if you don't like it, go up higher than 1500. Just depends how much time you want to spend on it. I wouldn't go lower than 320 though. The last step (buffing) is what's going to make the biggest difference.

You can buy the entire system brand new from Spintech. No cone of silence mod required.
