Took a while to decide which way I wanted to do the Plasma Afterburners... Disable the bulb by clipping the "driving light" / low output leads (not the turn signal / brake / high output), or keep it running stock along with the afterburners..... I opted to go with no stock driving light. (I didn't clip the leads, I used electrical tape on the contacts so I could reverse it if something happened to the afterburners.

Here's what they look like at night while I'm driving or parked.

quad exhaust tips ordered.... hope they ship fast, because I can't wait to get my new exhaust installed.

FNG · 11-20-2015, 07:45 PM

Old exhaust in the new bumper.... gross.

Good riddance, giant trashcans!!

The MRT v2 hangers needed to be modified to center the exhaust in the ZL1 bumper outlets.....they weren't designed to use with dual exhaust tips.

The other hanger needed to be cut off and a new one was added...

Ready for some tips and final adjustments....

Exhaust Complete!

Thanks. I love my CAI... The only thing I wish I did differently is get the black one.

Decided to enter a show with some friends..... I was surprised, and very pleased, to get a "Best of Show in Class" trophy.

My Camaro has been in the body shop for a week now because of this...

Got a call on Friday saying that'd be ready to pick up on Monday morning; I'm nervous.
