It took a long time, but today the shipment was delivered to my home.
After unpacking, I have a lot of questions in my head, but maybe I can handle it somehow

But I'll probably ask a few questions here

Also a little heads up that they will be the lowest thing under your car. Keep that into consideration if you have to straddle something. Mine has hit rocks (fairly decent size) and threw them out the rear of my car going down the road.

I have 3 questions now 🤔🤔🤔
1: at what angle is the nozzle cut

2: Is it welded perpendicular to the horizontal axis of the exhaust as you have marked or is it somehow slightly inclined towards the ground?

3: have you shortened the nozzle somehow or is it just adjusted to the required angle and welded ..?

Really...? That's good to know. I really thought they would be hidden thanks to the low profile.

Oh yea, they are a little low. The only part of mine that hits anything is the square actuator flange, and that is very seldom except on BIG speed bumps.

I cut mine at an angle turning them towards the rear of the car, and cut off about 2 or so inches of the tubing, at that angle, then welded them on. When you place them up on the exhaust to start measuring, you can angle them how you want, and cut off as much as you need for clearance. I think on mine we have about an inch or so of the tubing on the inside area, and about 2 or so inches on the outside area of the mounting tubing. Question # 2, they are angled down just a little to have the square billet actuator flanges clear the floor board so they don't rub. # 3, yes as stated above, they have been shortened quite a bit. I will see if I can get some pics this weekend of them on the car.

I have one on the downpipe of the turbo car and bought a used set cheap for the vert. I'm not fan of their plugs. They were melted on the kit I bought and I melted the one on the DP. The good news it's an easy fix, but if you route well you can avoid the problem.

And how much has the profile under the car decreased ..?
Theoretically, I shouldn't mind so much. Camaro does not have lowered suspension.

Well, it will be interesting.
I have a vision of how to do it, but the more I think about it, the more complicated it looks.

Most of all, I don't want the nozzle (or whatever you call it) to enter the exhaust pipe at all.
Just make sure that the exhaust gas flow is smooth everywhere.

Yeah ... I know I'm a useless detailist. But it's just me
