Has anyone had any fit issues with these?

No fit issues but I can tell you the clamps are useless. I had to weld mine in place. I am speaking about the axle back style if that is what you are referring to.

I've seen them once they had them welded on like stated above.

Welded mine too

Thanks guys. Yes the axel back is what's coming. So the clamps are crap, do they work at all? Should I go strait to welding or will they buy me some time until I can. I work a lot. And it's my wife's car, she can't stand the quiet so I want to get these on quick.

I have the pypes axle back as well....the clamps work but really wont lock the exhaust into place...just crank down on the clamps...air gun is needed and have a muffler shop tack weld them..mine have held there position just fine...no fitment issues and they sound great

Anyone have a video of what they sound like I've seen them never heard them.

I have these on my ss.
And well.... they are better than stock on my otherwise stock L99.
bought mine used from a guy that had them on for 1 day... said they didnt fit well. He was right.. i ended up doing 2 things to get them to fit ok; paid a shop to bend them straight (so they would come thru the holes straight and evenly..... also shortened my catback just behind the clamps cuz they stuck out a ways. As far as sound, its a good improvement at low rpm, but at wide open it tapers off as revs climb. Its got a unique tuned sound. A small bit of drone at 2000 (iirc) and the afm is quite noticeable.(end up usisng manual shift mode to avoid).

The clamps are useless. I bought some of the cheap u bolt style clamps. .those work by deforming the tubes just enough to hold.

Also...before you install them drill some small holes in the forward edge of the cans. Otherwise they hold a bit of water.

I will install headers and a tune eventually, so hopefully it can stay and be louder.
