Shorties + high flow cats vs Long Tube Headers - Page 7 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Yeah, I meant on the Solo's.

I already have shorties with a flange, but have been thinking the HFC'[s/resonators will be too long. I have an axle back, so if any pipe cutting needs to be done, I imagine I can cut further back closer to the axles?

Ventmaster · 02-27-2012, 11:13 PM

O.K. Got it!
Yeah the Solo's are a bit long. I cut their "tail" down to 1 inch and had to cut 1 inch out of the passenger side stock catback pipe to squeeze them in.

Then still had to drop the exhaust down some to meet'em. I just put some washers under the chasis cross-member brace to give me the room. I think its all gonna work just fine.

I think your Pacesetter's will be less troublesome!

Lookin good. I would like to see a pic of where they connect to the JBA's.
Oh, and I am having cutouts installed as I type.

metthem · 02-28-2012, 06:11 PM

Got my cutouts. They sound like Sh#t, loud, abnoxious, I LOVE EM!!!!!!!!! Scaring children, HE!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill F · 02-28-2012, 07:16 PM

Awesome sound, and I think you need gas!

Ventmaster · 02-28-2012, 09:57 PM

The mid-pipes w/cats connect here in the first pic. Jba's "Firecone" is where the 1st O2 sensor sits in the second pic:

Vent...if you get the time I'd love to hear some outside revs of your setup, with and especially without the cutouts open.

Ventmaster · 02-29-2012, 03:37 PM

Just wanted to post one more time to show the JBA/Solo combo in (near) finished condition- these are tack welded in place, so I still have to take'em down one time for finished welding, but this is how they'll look.

I need to get a couple more washers for a little more clearance at the chasis brace...

Sorry KP- I didn't get any cutouts, and I'm trying to be good and let my RTV and Walker exhaust sealer cure (yes, I'm paranoid about a leak), before I start'er up.

But I'll try to post a sound bite tomorrow with the Solo's!

mypuppysirius · 02-29-2012, 03:49 PM

Great pics/ posts Ventmaster! I'm assuming it's premature to ask if you got a cel?

Woops, I just realized it was metthem that posted about the cutouts! My bad.

Really looking forward to your setup.

metthem · 03-01-2012, 07:35 AM

VENT, I don't see the 02 extenders, did you get them with the Solo's?

Ventmaster · 03-01-2012, 12:52 PM

Yes I got the sensor extenders and put them on for final assembly. I was worried there might be clearance issues, but they fit just fine.

I'm not sure if I really need them with my Trifecta tune, but figured I may as well use them. Hopefully won't be an issue- I really don't feel like getting back under this car for awhile.

Did you keep your's as well? Have you got a tune? Any CEL's?

metthem · 03-02-2012, 08:39 AM

kept my 02 semsors on, no tune, no cell.
