I'm interested in your 3.23 diff. I'm running the 3.73 now and want the 3.23 for the Texas Mile. Tried to PM but it's full

GMPerformance has already made the kit but there aren't any distributors who have the kit because it is on back order. If anybody has a voice that GM would listen to... let them know we need more of them on the market!

I got one from Jegs about a month ago... In process of installing it along with control arms, cradle bushings etc (as time allows)

Congrats! I hope it runs great for you. My box came from JEGS, only had the diff in it. All of the other parts were missing. Now they are trying to locate (for the past week) parts to complete the kit. Nobody has the Half-shaft. Not even GM.

I just installed zl1 complete rear end for my 2010 ss camaro. Seems that right side exhaust pipe is too close at rear end.(Zl1 rear end is much bigger) How do you fix it this problem,,, Cutting and weld or something easy,,

Very gently beat some clearance into the pipe.

I bought a ZL1 specific 3" Catback.

The cheaper solution is above.
Some have had success cutting the pipe before the rear and reinstalling with 2.5" butt clamp. This allows "twist" of the muffler moving the pipe away slightly.

I did the clamp version with my stock catback, it seems to be working but a get a rattle here and there still.

Zl1 HD Driveline kit installed. I just drove the car home last night. So far not bad. I haven't put my foot on it yet so nothing significant to report yet.
