Author Topic: AAhhhh...feel so much better about my SS Brian's 01 SS 1st Gear Member # 1499 posted                       Well, I have been trying to get my tips (CME) back on since my purchase of a GMMG exhaust. Couldn't turn that deal down at Bowling Green. So after beaking them in half, having them welded wrong, then cutting then apart and making a template to weld correctly, they were at least ready to be put back on. After SLP sent me two sections of 90deg pipe, which took 2 weeks , I drove it down to my muffler shop and had them put back on this afternoon. Looks great and work out like I wanted. I even polished them up while I was waiting all this time. Will try to post some pics. God, I love that sound Just in time before the ice storm Its back in its heated home now. -------------------- Brian 2001 red SS Convertible #5479 out of 6332 CME, Grill, Chrome 10 spoke, Dash plaque, Cover Absolute Speed 5.3L stg. 2 heads, comp 978 dual springs, ti retainers, AS ported ls6 intake, AS ported 78mm TB, TR224/.564 114lsa, TTS headers,gmmg exhaust,and more.... 409/382 rwhp/rwtq tuned Posts: 216 | From: Western NC | Registered: Apr 2002  |  IP: Logged gauSSian 1st Gear Member # 2027 posted                    The CME tips gives the exhaust a distinctive tone I think. Even after H/C, LT's and LM I could still detect the CME tone. Mine had to be welded as well, and it's a little off, but not enough to bother me......yet.

Must have something to do with the sound waves comming out in the center. -------------------- Brian 2001 red SS Convertible #5479 out of 6332 CME, Grill, Chrome 10 spoke, Dash plaque, Cover Absolute Speed 5.3L stg. 2 heads, comp 978 dual springs, ti retainers, AS ported ls6 intake, AS ported 78mm TB, TR224/.564 114lsa, TTS headers,gmmg exhaust,and more.... 409/382 rwhp/rwtq tuned Posts: 216 | From: Western NC | Registered: Apr 2002  |  IP: Logged
