Sky/ Opel GT custom exhaust
« on: January 09, 2011, 11:41:00 AM »
Currently I have a hybrid RPi and SOLO exhaust system. It is still a bit too loud for my liking. In addition I think I want a custom center exit exhaust. My question is, can I add the muffler that is in the SOLO kit for the Solstice GXP in addition to the muffler and resonators I already have without the system being too restrictive? I would also need Norm's FG to modify a rear fascia to accommodate the center exit exhaust and relocate the center back-up light possibly using a hole saw to cut out two holes and using the same backup lights that the Solstice has. Is this possible or is there a better solution to solve the noise issue and get a center exit as illustrated in the picture?

The muffler highlighted in red is the one I'm considering using.

The green areas indicate possible new backup lights. The blue box is for the addition of the GXP center exit muffler.

I would think it can be done, but you are going to need some major work done on that rear fascia, and then a shop would have to weld in the new muffler assembly to fit.  They might have to do some slight bends, but it is possible.  The mufflers are X-design, so it won't hurt your flow too much.  It will be a bit of a project though...you have to modify the fascia, rewire lighting, and weld in the new unit to fit.  It is not something that will be bolt on.  Contact Norm and see if he has an idea for you regarding the fascia.
