My friend, you've got a full plate! But I think that old saying applies here. "Good things come to those who wait." (I know, I want mine too.) Seriously though, if they get this working just right with the L99, it'll be worth the wait.

Well, cutouts are illegal in VA so maybe it's better if I don't wait! But I want to :(

A vast majority of the cars we have installations on - up until the 2010 Camaro - have been either supercharged, had headers installed, or both. Naturally aspirated cars like the diverters and it has been our experience that if you jam more air in, and allow exhaust to get out faster with the headers, the diverters are even more effective. Action/reaction rules apply here.

Thanks! Good news...

I got the cad files and did the design work today and our product is going to install easily on the L99. I'll post some of the 3d design images after a bit to show the subtle installation differences. It looks like the V6 is the same exhaust as the LS3. The L99 is the only one to be a little bit different. Someone with a V6 could verify this... but the files from GM show identical exhaust for LS3 and V6 from cats back. I'll post images later this evening.

So I'm safe to buy for my L99?

The following image shows the comparison between the exhaust on the L99 (on the left) and the LS3 (on the right). One issue we had on the L99, you will notice, is the resonator is about 4.75 inches closer to the front of the motor than the "H" pipe is on the LS3. Giving us less room. So to remedy this, we actually will swell the inlet and outlet of our diverter for the L99 slip it over the factory pipes, and include slip joint clamps instead of using the factory band clamp style. Installation should be virtually the same its just a little tighter than the LS3. Our product and "S" bend are unchanged from one to the other.

Good thing I didn't just order the other one!

Until we have more HD videos from our customers (H3LLJumper

) This is a cool representation of how the interior sounds on a similar car with an automatic, with similar power, and an almost identical installation. I know its not a Camaro but its good R&D for you guys.
