I have the Solo on my V6 and I love it. It really changes the sound for the better. I can only imagine its even better on an SS. Also the guys at SOLO do a first class job on the install. I think you will be very happy with it.

So i need a favor for anyone in the immediate Syracuse area. I got some new pedals I want to install but don't have the proper tools and was wondering if someone would be able to help me install them, preferably sometime this comming week. I will gladly pay in money or beer or pizza.

But if you have LT headers I would buy aftermarket mufflers. I will find the thread they talked about this before... A majority of the people did muffler delete. Hope this helps.

As for sound, they have a deeper rumble than stock, but can experience some drone at highway speed under 2K. At his point I also have shortie headers and HF cats. Shorties are mainly for looks, the HFs actually free up some HP as the stock cats are very restrictive. All that gives it a good deep sound at idle and gets border line obnoxious at WOT. That being said, look into Solo exhaust w/jpipes for your vert. SteelerNY has Solos on his. He can tell you what he thinks.

Just saying . Please listen to what Mark & Ron are saying , Before getting any Set up , Listen in person , and do alot of reserch. AND DON'T BE IN A HURRY . Take this from me , I got the Borla full cat back S-type , and yea it's on a V-6 , made really great , love it to death ,But now I want more .. Like Mark pointed out the 304 stainless is really top shelf. But if you'r looking for a certain sound that's what you should be shopping for . Just my 2 cent's . I know after hearing Tiggers at the race track , I'm looking at the Corsa Extream set up , Nice on the out side ,But quite on the inside.

Again just take you'r time before you put out the cash ..

This is going to be fun.....Waiting for the out come....

Got to think when Spike went to school ,it was one room so math class goes like this ,

Distance x speed=google = 400 miles = divided by 2 = out come ,

So more or less if it says 4 hours, in Spikes world that means 2 hours tops .....

Hey what kind of Pedals did you get ? They are really easy to install , Just skip all the bull S**T in the instructions and do it , The Gas pedal just line it up and secure it with painters tape and all you need is a drill , make small pilot holes then screw the screws in to place remove tape . same on the foot rest thing, now the Brake & if you have a clutch, remove the rubber covers . Line up the pedals secure with Paintes tape and do the same , just this time it will take alittle time because you drilling through the metal . Just make sure that you dont drill in to the rod that the pedal is welded to , insert bolt and nut and tighten, just take your time.... Hope this helps , Pm me if you need more info , Took me around an hour ...

I got those ionized ones or whatever that are discontinued. I would be able to do this myself but I don't have a drill at all so that was why i was asking for help.
