ECS Kit on 14-15 Camaro Question
Just curious if anyone knows of folks that have installed ECS Kit on 14-15 SS Camaro, and when they did what modifications needed to be made? If any? Doing install on 14 at the moment and have run into fitment issues when it comes to radiator brackets being these were changed in 14. Couple other little issues, but those things happen (I get it). Mainly wondering about having to mod radiator brackets to clear heat shield when hood is closed.

Sorry, can't help you but I'm deciding on the ecs or agp kit and looking to install myself. So I'm guessing they don't have updated install instructions for the 14-15 camaro?

Contacted them? That's an understatement. Finally, got to machine/fab shop that makes kit brackets. Took a while to finally get to him, but he has been extremely helpful and been back and forth on the phone with the shop working through things for last week. He too was surprised to learn of the change in 14-15.

Thanks for posting this, and please keep the thread updated with the resolution. I have a 2014 and am trying to decide between the ECS kit and AGP.

ECS needs to step up and make the necessary changes to their kit for the 14-15 cars. Crazy to think you spend 6k for a bolt on kit and have to do custom work on top of it.

radiator bracketing changed. You can't expect an aftermarket vendor to keep pace with GM changes, lol

Why not? They built it for the 10-13 right? So if a small change is needed for the 14-15 models the vendor should be on top of that. Guaranteed sales will suffer if people have to buy the kit then customize it to fit their car.
