No modifications are needed, bolts right on.
I'll do that, thanks.

I don't personally think it adds much power over stock being as it's just an axleback. I'm in the middle of finding a good performace shop with dyno that will tune my car if i can i will let you know this.

I kind of thought that, but wanted to Mae sure. I'd like to get a better exhaust on the car, but after the headers, it would have to be custom. Most muffler shops around here want to weld in a piece of pipe or weld in some juggler, and get you out as fast as possible. I'm not sure how they'd do with a kit I brought in and said 'here, it needs some modification to make it fit'.

If I knew that a G8, OS SS exhaust kit would easily fit with a couple of extensions here or there, I'd spend the money, but it's a pretty expensive test to have fail.

I think, though, that even with the limits of the exhaust system, you can tune in a LOT more performance that GM cut out.

Gene, they are a little pricey, but JHP out of Australia, has header, catback, combinations for the WM Caprice, that should, in theory, bolt right in. You just need to order the long wheel base variants.

Sometimes I wish I had just gone ahead and got them from OZ. :lol:

Anyone know what the torque spec is for the Solo axle backs on a 2014 Caprice?
