Well...Hobie's got 1.75" spacers on his and I don't think he had to trim anything. Just take off your wheel and measure the stud. If it's less than 1.5" long, then there's no trimming required. There's a lot of shop guys out there that are idiots...they're just salesmen trying to make more money. Th...

Re: Straight pipe I/O muffler?

Hey, me too! I sold my '99 SS and bought the CC. I do miss that car, but just didn't drive it enough. I had headers, no cats and the SLP Loudmouth (as you probably know, this is just a small resonator in place of the muffler). Before the headers and no ctas, it sounded great. After that, it was int...

My LS1 in my Z28 always had lots of valvetrain noise...especially during warm up. It wasn't too bad once it was warm, but when cold, combined with the nasty pinging when it was cold, it sounded horrible! But like I said, once it warmed up, it was pretty smooth and quiet.

And it sounds awesome! Nothing earth shattering or loud enough to bounce quarters on the roof, but it's definitely strong enough to notice and it shakes the rear view mirror pretty well too.

Unless they can prove that your dual exhaust somehow caused your manifold to come loose, they should fix it under warranty. It may take a couple trips to a couple different dealerships, but you should be able to get it done under warranty.
