Nice !

No drone between 1500-2500 rpm ?

NB: I saw 1 550$ to buy this catback exhaust in a retailer on the web

Cool, do you plan to install an NPP in a box to control the valves/flaps?

I'm having a hard time removing the plastic part on the back of the intake manifold where the vacuum line connects

Nope. I left the block off caps on the vacuum line accuators(above the mufflers) and am not going to run any lines. W/O vacuum the baffles are always open.

I have no drone...if you saw this catback for $550 online I can GUARANTEE it's not a GM catback.

I wrote $1.550 but I did like in french langage i.e " 1 550$ ".
Sorry, it's my fault

Thanks for the info of no drone.
Any advices to install this catback ?

Great job

Super easy install unlike most aftermarket catbacks that come with a million section pieces that have to be bent and adjusted to not rattle.

It's all welded 1 piece from GM like the factory one, so step 1 is get a lift. Step 2....remove the rear bumper (a lot easier than it sounds). Those plastic clips are hard to get to on the diffuser with the bumper on. The rear bumper literally unsnaps out after disconnecting the tail lamps. Step 3 unbolt tunnel brace and bolts holding factory catback on. Step 4 remove rubber hangers. Step 5 slide exhaust off and slide new one in. Rehang/bolt up. Step 6 snap bumper in. Step 7 snap rear diffuser in.

All FACTORY FIT, no crooked exhaust tips..no pieces to wiggle around. Not a bunch of clamps to tighten..

Already 2 co-workers with Camaros are next in line for this. I have a feeling this will become a popular upgrade for 2010-2012 cars.

I love it on my 2010

Lumino1LE · 12-18-2012, 04:42 PM

Very nice, but ouch on the aftermarket price. Damn.

Camarowguy · 12-18-2012, 07:41 PM

Think I'd trade my car in and get the option before dropping that kind of coin on an exhaust. So your not using anything to control the opening?

No offense but you can obviously tell it doesn't belong on your car...

Mike2ss · 12-19-2012, 06:32 PM
