XSPower Longtube + Catback system fits convertibles!
So I have my trusty sawzall and welder ready to hack up this exhaust to make it fit. Well wouldn't you know it fits with out any modification! Here is the thread to where I bought them.
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129510 It is going to be a VERY tight fit but if adjusted well with the clamps (I am going to weld it) it has at least 1/2" (maybe more) clearance from the rear V braces and the big part that the V braces bolt to. I know that obviously . So I will do my best to get this done and take pics ASAP. I have been working on my car non stop for about 10 hours now and I'm starting to get the shakes so I have to take a break and eat something.

The headers, yes. It was very close, but I would rather dimple it just to be safe. I'll post pics later.

Both sides were very close. If I didn't dimple they may or may not have hit. Didn't want to pull them out again, so I beat them both up.
Sounds AWESOME!

The headers were very close to the steering knuckle and the k member. They may or may not have rubbed, but I went ahead and dimpled them just to be safe. The dimple on the #1 primary of the driver side header DID NOT need to be dimpled, I tried to get it to clear what I thought was part of the knuckle, but it was just a removable rubber sleeve.

BTW, these DO NOT throw a code! I thought they did because they have an off road X pipe with no cats, but it turns out that one of the wires on my home made O2 extensions had come loose when I installed it. Now that I fixed it no more engine light!
Obviously every car is different and they might throw a code in your car, but I am just letting you know what is happening with my car. This system comes with 6 O2 bungs. There are 2 on each header collector and 2 on the X pipe. I installed the front O2s on the top collector bungs, the rear O2s on the side mounted O2 collector buns and left the X pipe bungs capped off with the provided caps.
