Anybody installed the SOLO HFC from that group buy? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I know there was a group buy that ended last month I think like 12 people or more got in on it just wondering if anybody installed yet? And if they could post some sound clips of their set ups whether with stock, mrt, solo, flowmaster, borla exhaust thanks in advance.

My HFC are installed with stock exhaust for right now but in two weeks I will have Corsa'a exhuast installed and will try to get a sound clip when it's done.

Got mine installed 2 weeks,ago. I have the Solo HFC w/ Solo Catback Mach X LLT. Befote HFC, the Solo was deep muscle sound, nice low deep growl at idle, and loud at WOT. Black sut on tips from exhaust gases exiting. After HFC, NO black sut on tips, and exhaust note is louder at idle and wot.

I have an appointment with the mechanic at 8am tomorrow morning. It is going to be real cold here the next couple days so hopefully I will get my camera figured out and get a clip of it towards the end of the week. Then I will have to figure out how to upload video as I have never done that before. The question is when I take a vid do you want it just from the rear of the car at idle and a little revving or on the highway powering to and cruising at 60 or both shots? I ask because I have not taken a video clip with my camera and not sure how it will turn out. If my camera doesn't work I have someone I work with that has the new phone and might be able to talk him into shooting it.

Installed mine today, the driver's side rear portion was hitting against the automatic transmission cross member had to tweak it a bit to clear. Very nice system and easy to install. Only took about 45 minutes from start to finish. <--- I am an Automotive Tech by trade with access to a lift and air tools so my time to get this done should be what a qualified shop should be able to do this in for an average. I have some more items to finish up so a sound clip will be later this week or early next week.

Dave916 · 02-18-2013, 10:11 PM

ETMX183 Did you re-use the gaskets or did you put new ones on? I think i read somewhere about re using the gaskets. I think im going to buy new gaskets though.

It took me awhile to find a shop in CA so I tackled it myself today. Not too bad took me about 2hrs that was including the hour it took for me to let them cool down from driving. I Re-Used the old gaskets, no problems as of yet! I have 40 series Flows w/custom X-pipe had resonators deleted until I got the Solo's. I am on the fence with the sound so I am giving it sometime to break in or it might just be a mental thing! But so far it does sound deeper but to me I think mines was a little better without the Solo sound wise. But I can tell the performance is there!! But again I didn't have a lot of time to play around today and won't be driving her for about another week.

etmx183 · 02-19-2013, 05:56 AM

I bought new, for only $4.00 each I wasn't taking a chance.

How you like the S/C I been fighting whether to get a S/C or TT for the summer. I was going trade up for a v8 but everybody has a s/c v8 rather stand out with a mean v6.
