We dry fitted the reBAR initially and discovered the SOLO exhaust sat too low and didn't allow the reBAR to be bolted in. It took some adjustments, but, we were able to install our reBAR on a Al's GXP Solstice with his SOLO GXP Street Race exhaust.
- We loosened the three clamps attaching the Solo exhaust.
- After loosing up the clamps we pushed the reBAR up against the exhaust and hand tighten it in place.
- Now that the reBAR was in place, we lined the exhaust up and re-tightened the clamps so the exhaust was secured at its highest position.
NOTE: There was minimal clearance between the exhaust and reBAR. The customer was aware of the potential rattle but really wanted this solution and decided to go ahead with it. Its also a good idea to recheck all the bolts and clamps after the test drive to make sure they remained secured.
When the install was completed, I took it out for a test drive to make sure there were no issues and that everything remained in place. There was no rattle detectable and everything felt extremely solid.
For you GXP owners with the SOLO exhaust system, our reBAR has been confirmed to fit on your car! Feel free to give us a call with any questions or concerns. We'd be happy to help you with this process.
BTW: Al has a very fast car! Thanks for letting us work on it.

The exhaust is routed from the exhaust manifold and routed along or beside the bottom of the car body beneath the doors. They were usually chrome plated. Exhaust Systems
Great car I agree, and really fast. What you did on the exhaust is great. It is always easier to work on clamp bolted exhausts, takes just a few hours unlike welding. I trust you felt the difference in the drive...
