I'd be interested in this kit... how much was it?

You have any video or audio?

There's videos and more pictures on their site of the G8.
I took before and after videos with my iPhone, but they sound like crap.

I was just curious, because our exhaust systems have more inline resonators than the G8's...

I am really looking forward to hearing your car next week. This may be my first mod.

Get enough people interested and maybe you can run a group purchase on the kit.... Again, very nice!

Do you remember who you spoke to at Solo? I am ready to pull the trigger on these.
Thanks, Josh

Talk to Jeff,

He just did mine last week. Shipped in less than a day. Good Product. Well built. 20 minute install in my driveway. Spent an hour adjusting the Tips. :roll:

Alright, it only took me a year to do this. My wife loves the way the tips look. I love the way the car sounds.

Ok well I'm about 3 clicks and waiting for a returned email away from pulling the trigger on these solo axle backs.

Seems to me like a stupid question but I don't want to assume anything. Is the rear bumper cover with the black diffuser a 2011 only item or was it used longer than that. On my 2014, it looks the same dimensions but it all painted and one piece.

Ultimately, I don't want to assume, are the exhaust tip cut outs in the rear bumper cover the same on both style bumpers as far as dimensions? Most of the pics I can find on this forum for exhaust mods are with the earlier style rear bumper cover.

Garner, did you speak with anyone at Solo? If they want to make two I'm ready for an axle back for my 2014.

Have one of their systems on my Challenger and love it. It's been on the car for four years and still sounds great. The car is my wife's daily driver, after three winters it's in great shape. Some rust on the clamps but that's to be expected.
