Finally installed Stainless Works ZL-1 Catback *Now with video*

After I think 6 weeks the exhaust finally came in and the body shop installed it today. They still have the car so I don't have pics yet but it looks friggin AWESOME and sounds so sweet!

It's the ZL-1 Retro Chambered catback


This is with stock manifolds, JBA Hi-flow cats and the Stainless Works cat-back from Apex! They are good folks at Apex, buy your shit from them.

I DO have to contact Apex or SW because the drivers side dual tip is crooked. The guy that installed it is a smart dude and knows what he's doing. He spent a good chunk of time trying to adjust it but the inside tip on the drivers sits lower as seen in the video.



And in car

I think the only difference is the quad-tips.

It is slightly different dimensionally so that the quad tip line up properly with the ZL1/1LE diffuser. An SS cat back with quad tips will be off.

Anyone know if the Stainless Works ZL1 would work on an SS with the 1LE diffuser? I know quads are in my future, just haven't decided on the setup yet

Yes. Calling it a ZL1 exhaust was probably a marketing mistake on their part. It is configured to line up with the ZL1/1LE quad tip diffuser.
