I probably will have a faster reply here than waiting for Chicane to reply to my emails...

How does the Chicane center exhaust bolt to the saleen Borla cat-back? Does it require any cutting or welding ?

Should I expect to loose a few HP due to extra pipe length and curves ?

Thanks

Fortunately since you have the Borlas, they slide right in. You don't need to do a thing. It's a piece of cake.

Technically, you may lose a couple of HP but who cares since it looks so good. Also, If you get the Bassani X pipe with two cats, a 4.6 with that set up and the center exhaust sounds like none other.

I installed Chicane's center exit exhaust on my old 2001 Saleen convertible. I had to cut the exhaust...not a big deal at all.

Never dyno'ed afterwards, so I can't comment on loss/gain of power.

I think I have pics around somewhere of the complete install. I'll look later and post them up.

You will have to cut the borla pipes behind the tips/hangers and slip it in place. You have 2 extra 90degree bends to contend with, but they are smooth bends.

Not to hijack thread but, will the Chicane Center Exhaust work with Magnaflows?
(X-Pipe and Cat Back)

Yes it will, but will require a bit more work than the Borlas, and some cutting unlike the Borlas.

I just ordered the kit. We'll see how it bolts on...
I'll have to get the new rear bumper painted first, more $$$ to spend
