Cool Cat back exhaust for a convertible??

Borla ,magnaflow, and others only make axle back exhaust system
Has anyone with a vert, installed a cat back on
The 6th gen? I know there’s cross bracing that
Will interfere with 3” pipes, and oem pipes are actually
Flattened were they intersect with bracing.

Maybe buy the regular cat back, take some measurements, and have a shop crush the piece in the same spots lol.

I have not seen any catbacks for the Camaro, they all say "not for convertible".

Not sure on your goals, but some modding as mentioned above may be the easiest option.

If it were me, I would just get an axle-back. Not sure the catback is worth the extra coin.

I’ve been under car, I don’t see why borla/magnaflow, or others
Can’t make a catback, there is only one issue with a vert, and that’s
The crimping/ flattened part at the rear, to make it fit under the
Frame stiffening struts, they could do the same with there 3” piping.

Do not crush the exhaust, i installed a borla atak cat back on my 2021 convertable. It will fit ,only issue if you hit a bump you will hear it knock the cross member. Still worth it i find.

Noah, thx for info , I’m assuming the exhaust pipe goes
Over that structural frame crossover, just as in oem
Configuration, how much clearance between actual
Exhaust pipe and structural frame crossover?, and did
U have any other issues with install? Thx
