Solo HF Cats on the way

Just ordered Solo HF Cats for my 2014 2SS (less than a month old). Thanks to fellow members here on responding to the multiple threads that arise from other members with newer cars that are weary of voiding any factory warranty with performance add-on's, which I am one of them. Until my car has more than a few thousand miles on it, I'm in no rush to get a custom tune or add any performance part that requires one to work correctly or eliminate any CEL's that may generate as this car is my daily driver and keeping the warranty intact (at least for the first two years) is a priority.

So, to date the only mods/non factory additions I will have on my L99 is a K&N CAI (already in), a Range AFM disable device (already in), and the Solo HF Cats, which I hope to have in by next Saturday.

Chock full of info on this site and I appreciate the knowledge.

Make sure you take pictures, start a build thread. And I'm not sure what gaskets they come with, but I would get some new ones just in case.

I have a shop that I plan to use for this install. They do great work and did all the performance upgrades on my 03 Vette I used to own (Procharger, LG lt headers, Yank, Borla, & tune).

A little horsepower bump and a deeper exhaust note.
