@Jeremandre. Buy the 3.5" x 18" long rounded tips(equals to a 3" or 3.25" outlet) Simply have the muffler shop cut your mufflers off the car about 8 inches from the muffler. After that, they will have to weld a step up in place bc i think the impala only has at the most a 3" pipe. Then tell him where you want your tips to come out at and let him do the work. Any good shop shouldnt need instructions. tell them you want the this size tip and the mufflers cut off.
@NORTHofCALI. I bought metallic blue match car paint and painted them myself. If you are going to do it yourself, get ready to sand your ass off by hand, a sander will screw it up. then spray light coats until you have the color you want. Then spray the match clear coat. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE CAN AND DONT DO IT IN COLD WEATHER.
@Hillbillydeluxe454, its all good. Comments welcome. Truely, no cold air intake except a completely blocked off ram air will block the heat. I'm a car mechanic and heavy guru. Off my bs mod and removing the stock air screen and removing the mufflers I had a 14 hp increase over stock dyno. Call it what you will. I was going for better fuel economy over anything else. I achieved it.
bro, the exhaust sounds like you dropped a whole new kit in it. I love it. I've been looking around and seems like just by doing what you did, I'll get the similar to the best sound for cheap. The color looks great too! I have the silver metallic blue color and love it. Seems to get a new scratch ever day though! need to get it buffed out i suppose.
damn, i love how you have your engine painted, did you get that done or do it yourself? (paint air gun?) I've got a red 08 imp ss, k/n cai with my own ram air set up, mag CB exhaust, black heads/tails-LED. whats the wattage of your sound system and how much you sinki into it? (sorry for all the questions, that imp is a nice lookin carr!!!)
@FU6K74RD, I painted it myself. just go to a part store and get the match up paint, its like 7 dollars for a small as can. the match paint with the match clear coat, sand down(rough up) whatever you are painting and it works smooth. i dont remember what the watts and all were, i only had it in for a month and sold it bc my wife complained and i have a 2 year old so i didnt get to hear it much so i spent the money on motorcycle helmets. i only paid 450 on ebay for the speaker/box/amp/wire kit.
@06xltf150 your car is bad ass. its not that much money you spent but still looks bad ass. and i bet it performs well. i have a svt dohc ford and it still loses to a 5.3
Can you tell me or upload a video of how you installed the 3.5 pipe ? I intend on doing the same thing to my 08 impala ss

Sorry excuse for a intake if you ask me, maybe you should have spent less money on spray paint and more on performance mods. just me 0.2 cents
