I will updated as the installation gets going, but for now here is what just arrived. Its all been unboxed and packed in the Camaro to get it installed. Packaging was great, the parts look amazing.

Great pictures....I have the same setup. You are going to love it. The sound in person is going to amaze you...Everything is direct bolt on...so easy.
Tip: I had to get some of the bolts for the HFCs from the top of the engine bay instead of underneath...so don't knock yourself out trying to get them all from underneath. It was just a little easier this way.

SOLO says you can reuse the oem manifold gaskets, they are metal and should be fine, but for less than $4 each, I bought new ones for peace of mind.

Great choice! With new exhaust and HFC, your IPF SC should get bump in gains w/ a tune for whole package.

WOW, HOLY CRAP this is the sweetest exhaust ever...... Sounds soooo good, no drone and really opens up when you want it to. Will have to get video soon. Special thanks to Matt at FSP, I was in his area and he had an open lift....Here are some install pics, went in like butter, no alignment issues, fit right the first time, superb quality, oh, and did I mention they sound AMAZING....
