Does any site offer performance parts for caprice that are specific fit, ie Headers, Exhaust, suspension, intake..ETC ETC
Thanks in Advance
Performance Parts
Re: Performance Parts
Short answer is no. Solo does make Caprice specific axle backs, otherwise, you are on your own. That said, a lot and I mean a lot of stuff that works on G8's and Chevy SS's can be adapted to the PPV. Have fun.

Re: Performance Parts
Actually, there are vendors in Australia who offer parts specifically for our cars, but finding them, and covering the currency exchange rate, and shipping can get in the way. Luckily, there are parts that also work on other cars that can work, or relatively-easily be made to work on our cars. That's sometimes half the fun, finding out what works. Failure can get expensive sometimes, but it's cool when all the right parts come together.

Re: Performance Parts
I have bought many items from JHP, and from Crazy Paul. It can be done, but it is a royal pain. Plus, nothing is cross-referenced to the PPV. Most stuff that works on a Caprice-V or WM Caprice, will work on our stuff. Just not anything to do with right-hand drive!

Re: Performance Parts
Looking over this thread, and am kind of wondering if some vendor's SS header/catback system and Caprice-specific Solo Axle-backs would be a bolt-in solution for our cars? Thoughts?leadfart wrote:Short answer is no. Solo does make Caprice specific axle backs, otherwise, you are on your own.

Re: Performance Parts
You could buy the Chevy SS Kook's headers, cats, x-pipe, and fab the flanged intermediate pipe, to the Solo axle-backs. It's still going to require some "work"!

Re: Performance Parts
Dang. I thought the big difference was at the flange between the pipe before the axle, and the rear mufflers. I was hoping Caprice-specific tailpipes/mufflers would take care of that issue.
