Going solo
Got my solo axle back with J pipes from Apex today. I had a couple questions for Apex and they were very cool people to work with, and very helpful. I haven't had it installed yet, but I am getting that done tomorrow.
 I only have one question, isn't the J pipe suppose to be turned the other way? I assume it's curled over like that for shipping, but I am just making sure  I'll post pics of the final product, and hopefully I can get a video to work

Correct - had them on my '14 SS. The capped j-pipe ends will face each other. |

You have to be kidding me. $500?
I hate to rain on your parade, but $497 for some "F'd" up plumbing? Really?
I did these: Short glass packs Here's the Summit page: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/imm-87522cb And these tips Square tips Here's the Summit page: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gib-500534 This is what it sounds like. http://s1371.photobucket.com/user/St...tml?sort=3&o=0 Keep in mind I did the video with my cell phone. Yeah I know, the license plate is my wife's, that's her DD. The nice thing about the glass packs is they remove any trace of higher frequency so you don't get what I call cackle. The muffler shop (independent, not a chain) warned against straight pipes. They stood up and took notice of this when they got it done. Mufflers, tips and labor $307. Keep in mind you can get any tip shape you want. Mine are square cause it looks better in a square hole. And I wanted them outside the facia not drop back where you couldn't see them. NO DRONE at all. Not even a little. The rest of the system is completely stock.

The F'ed up plumbing works extremely well for the V-6 cars.
I know there are a lot more no drone options for the V-8 cars. |

OP, you are going to love these pipes! And, yes... the j-pipes are like tey are for shipping. Upon installation, they will swing up under the trunkspace facing each other. Instructions are very thorough and easy to follow.
