I thought Grim had the manual that worked well......wasn't it Aki that had the auto that didn't work out so well?

He does...we just like to see it on the car after some driving to make sure everything is still perfect...this way we make sure the jig is perfect.

Aki is coming back in also. It should be sometimes this week or early next.

I think within the next two weeks we will have both the manual and automatic on group buy.

Hi Abagail you’re absolutely right. I would like to explain a bit more so it is not confusing to anyone. Grimkeeper does have the manual that worked out very well for us. Getting an exhaust kit on line for sale is a long process. We had to make the system for Grimkeeper then we had to make another one for us to be able to jig to. Making the jig that will ultimately produce the kits is a longer process than making the “one off” for the actual car. The jig has to be perfect especially when using 4 ½” tips... We have the Manual V6 jig made and we have an exhaust kit made from that jig. We need Grim’s car back (he’s coming this Wednesday) to test fit the product from the jig. It “should” fit perfectly but it’s always good to do a test fit so that we’re sure and you guys are happy. We’re definitely allotting time to take more video’s. We just ran out of time the other day.



We are hoping to get another crack at the V6 Automatic this week. It’s not confirmed what day but we should be able to get AKI down to out Buffalo store. We’re very excited about the design that we are going to try. 3rd day and 9th system’s the charm! This work can get “Exhausting.” Lol

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation on where you are at in the entire process. We can be impatient and demanding customers here at times....having the full picture helps us a lot. You are making a quality product and one that is being watched by many V6 owners....we'll hang in there! The good stuff is always worth waiting for

You guys will be happy you waited, just read the feedback from the LS3 and the L99 kit. Solo is finally getting the word out there through it's many happy and very demanding audience. Demanding customers are great when you have solid product! You guys have no idea how much more I enjoy my SS since coming back from SOLO............ I cannot get enough of the sound!

Well thanks very much to GrimKeeper for letting us play with his V6 Manual all day today. We have the V6 manual completely finished. The jig is made the product fits like a glove and the Manual exhaust note is pure poetry! Deep and mean at all RPM ranges but no drone and it never even comes close to getting obnoxious! Now that the test fit is done Solo will start to manufacture the V6 Manual units and we we be able to ship within 5-7 days. It was a long long day for the guys and many video's and pics were taken. They're back at it tomorrow with the V6 Automatic in Buffalo. I'm sure it will be another long day as the Auto V6 has proven very difficult so far. . We can expect video's,pics, pricing and a full update sometime later on this Friday. Thanks we are looking forward to getting started with a V6 group buy.
