11TexaSS · 07-20-2012, 06:40 PM

what do you guys think? Can't see it but have the ZL1 rockers and slp splitter too

Edwin320 · 07-20-2012, 07:04 PM

More pics? What exhaust is that?

TRC-SS · 07-20-2012, 07:47 PM

Looks fantastic.....the way it should be!

11TexaSS · 07-20-2012, 07:57 PM

Yeah TRC-SS, I like it much better then the single stock setup.

@Edwin.... it's a Pypes exhaust but those are after market tips I had put on.

jeffny09 · 07-20-2012, 08:03 PM

How much was the rear diffuser?

i think its around 280 from gmpartshouse. thats without the heat shields and the absorbor

11TexaSS · 07-20-2012, 08:08 PM

yup, that's where I got it, Patrick at gmpartshouse.com Not sure of the price though, I bought the rockers at the same time too.

Why would I need heat shields and an absorber for?

11TexaSS · 07-20-2012, 08:33 PM

heat shield I didn't get but I made sure to have double walled tips. The absorber I didn't even use. Looks just like the one the car already has with the exception of some clips which i drilled and made work.

11TexaSS, the quad tips and ZL1 diffuser look delicious. Any more info on the tips?

The absorber-I think some people were saying that this was needed to install the diffuser but I think some were able to do it without the absorber.

The heat shields are what they are. They also complete the ZL1 diffuser look. Personal preference I guess. There's nothing wrong with 11TexaSS's setup. However, I think his tips are a little too close to the diffuser.

11TexaSS · 07-20-2012, 09:15 PM

I agree, they might be a little close. I just got them put on today. I intend to keep an eye on them. The shields might be a good idea but getting the absorber is just a waste of money.

01pewterz28 · 07-20-2012, 09:58 PM

Looks grat I will be doing this after my ZL1 hood

2010 SSRS · 07-20-2012, 10:00 PM

I definitely like that, very nice

11TexaSS · 07-20-2012, 10:02 PM

A member on here gave me a link to the tips. I'll look it up later and post if I find it.

FINALLYSATISFIED · 07-20-2012, 10:04 PM

Looks good assuming it were a 2013 1LE or just a 2013 in general with the NPP exhaust option or a ZL1. But its not unfortunately. Not a fan of a SS having ZL1 only parts. Looks good though...

MikeGstayUp · 07-21-2012, 12:50 AM

I like it a lot, looks perfect.

Another idea is to maybe have the exhaust adjusted so that the staggered tips are somewhat aligned the curve of the rear bumper.

He has the ZL1 side rockers and rear diffusers-so what? The ZL1 stuff looks good and they're functional. So what are your thoughts on all the people doing the ZL1 front end conversion?

ssmike · 07-21-2012, 12:17 PM

Looks great! I agree the tips may be a little too close to the top opening! Keep an eye on it or have the hangers adjusted to drop them a little!

IMO, this is the way ALL Camaros should come! I love the quad tips on this car!

Here is my set-up but I did it before the ZL-1 diffuser was available. I just cut out the bottom opening to fit the extra tip!

pierre777 · 07-21-2012, 01:17 PM

Looks really good.

Grey Ghost · 07-21-2012, 03:41 PM

Looks great!

vroomapunk · 07-21-2012, 04:00 PM

Loos awesome! What size tips?

I will be doing this soon, Im getting 4" tips

stt816 · 07-21-2012, 04:25 PM

so when ordering the zl1 diffuser the heat shields and absorber are not needed? If so that would save me a lot of money...Also what size tips does the zl1 have? Which size is recommended?

Absorber is not needed for any years, and if you have a 2012, apparently you already have the ZL1 absorber, they updated it for 2012. If not, then you just need to drill some small holes on absorber.

I think ZL1 has 3.5 inch tips. So far my favorite builds have had 3.75" and 4". Ill be going with 4" since 3.75" is hard to come by.

Heat shields arent necessarily needed if you get double walled tips, and they are the normal finger thickness away from the diffuser.

Heat shields are pretty expensive for what they are, I think they help complete the look, but definitely arent necessary.

11 Camaro IBM · 07-22-2012, 03:11 AM

What tip size was it 4 or 3.5
