So are you planning on selling a package, with the connection pipes and the “X” pipe? Because if you are selling them individually I would buy the connection pipes now. If not how about a waiting list?

Normally, we have a pretty good idea of when they will becoming in, but unfortunately 6/26 is our best guess. The way things have been going I wouldn't be surprise if that wait time will be extended.

Thanks

For my own reading comprehension, you made secondary cat delete pipes that will fit your x and mid pipes and hook up behind the main cats. But you’re waiting for the x/mid pipes to come in to sell them together. My question is will the x/mid pipes fit right on to the factory exhaust? In my case the borla axle backs( because they hook Up right to the stock mid pipes). Or is there some fabrication involved to join them? Also your website now says eta July 24 unfortunately.

Sorry to beat the dead horse, but any ETA or plans on a catted set up?

Exclamation 1 7/8" to 2" speed engineering headers

So I had 1 7/8's speed engineering (SE) headers on my camaro initially. I'd get some slight rubbing on my headers (drivers side) nothing too much. I've burned 2 spark plug wires on the 1 7/8s (GM and MSD). Then I went to 2" headers, burned through my spark plug wire on the drivers side (MSD) yet again and its making a lot of noise and rubbing on the steering rack badly when I turn left, no issues going straight or turning right. Its already burned through some of the plastic guard on the rack.

What do you guys suggest doing? My builder said to try new motor mounts (OEM). Haven't gone through with them yet because I've had issues with SE headers since I got them. 1 7/8s and even more on 2".

Silly question, but if you're having all these heat related issues, have you tried putting some heat shields on your headers or some boots on your plug wires?
