Anyone see this yet? 3" exhaust convertible kit - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Seems like a decent idea. You could use this to make most 3" exhaust kits fit. This would have made it a little easier to make my exhaust fit, but I still got it to fit with just a little extra time and work. Just saw the video when I uploaded mine.

Unfortunately, for your situation it would probably help the braces clear the pipes, but your big mufflers would still hit the big rear part that the braces bolt to.

Your probably right... the mufflers were a seriously close fit, imagine with the gfx now, it'd give ne even less room to work with, probably better off just waiting... hate having such a quiet bad ass car!

I can imagine. You couldn't pay me to go back to my stock exhaust!

My convertible rattles cuz I bought the cherry bomb exhaust for it but didn't fit it (what everyone is happening) not fitting & with this will it continue to rattle?

By spacing that cross-member, I wonder what it does to the rigidity of the frame? Have you seen any flexing of your frame SUX? My 1970 flexed like a SOB before I got sub frame connectors, I wonder if these convertibles will have the same issues.

I didn't use this, i just thought it would help someone trying to make some exhaust fit. Mine exhaust system fit really close but it fit without having to change anything on the car.

referencing the rigidity of the frame, any time you move the axis you necessarily change the geometry, shift load, or in this case, weaken the joint. This fix looks cosmetic and not as structural as one would hope. Without welding and cascading the diameter of the shims, you will have shear which equals weakness.

I've got Stainless Works 3" on my vert. The sound is great!

Had My Borla ATAK catback Put on and some time was spent by the installer trying to add washers to Space out this bar cause the Exhaust kept hitting it...

now after a few hundred miles... its starting to make hit Sounds from the Back area as well...

im wonder if this would fix all this //
