You're gonna love it. I have both MagnaFlow and SP systems, and the SP fit better. Also, the SP stainless steel is different than the MF which results in the MF system system turning a rusty brown while the SP system turns sort of smooth honey gold/brown color. BTW, I have only noticed this because of all the trips under my car making changes for racing. Most folks just drive around in these things. Have fun with your new toy !!

I actually won a bet when I went to a Renault dealership to install my turbo-back Solo exhaust. The chief engineer said he is 100% will not perfectly fit. I won the bet with that engineer flawlessly. I'm very happy about my exhaust and you can see the powers gains which I got in my dyno tests.

I barely "noticed" the 400$ shipping tax for the exhaust and Norm's rear fascia diffuser.

Very Cool!!  I often wondered why GM dumped the stacked exhausts from the concept.  $$ I guess.  But I love 'em!

I know I seen the stacked exhaust in the solstice book and just loved the look.  Now I need some dry and snow free days to test it out :)

Maybe they thought that customs would see the sticker and steal the contents!

Ha it looks great Gary!  The fascia is really going to set it off.  I can't wait to see what my setup would look like on a wicked car!!!

I'd be interested in seeing the pics as well. I am really interested & thinking about this setup on my 09 coupe but can't decide between side by side or stacked.

if you get a copy of the solstice book the original design of the solstice was a stacked center exhaust.  I really like it when I see it in the book. Solo makes dreams come true lol

That's why I was the first to get it...I saw the exhaust from the Solstice concept, which Solo designed.  I had to have it and after much convincing, the process began at making that kit...do you know it was made and fitted by simple measurements and the first kit sent to me actually fit perfectly.  Even norm made the fascia off of measurements and it was spot on.  That's pretty darn good, and there are only about 5 or 6 of us driving around with the stacked setups!!!

I am interested in this but it will probably be a little while before I can bite.  I did not see the stacked exhaust on your web site.  How much?

its not listed there, I had seen pictures of spicy's car.  I'm sure he will post pictures.  I wont quote prices incase they change but it not bad considering you get a painted rear valance in the package.
