dazedandconfused 11-25-2002, 10:30 PM I have a set of long tube super comp. headers for my '91 Camaro and am looking for info. on how some of you have possibly got the true dual exhaust on their cars, if any. I also have the spohn adjustable torque arm on my car instead of the stock set up. I have thought about going to the 4" mufflex set up but I hate to spend all that money on it. If any of you have pics. of your exhaust that would be great. Thanks guys and gals!:)
Deimos 11-25-2002, 11:08 PM I have true duals on my 1991 RS. I took out the torsion bar from the tranny and rear. See I bought a South Side machine subframe connectors. With that kit you take it out. I ran two 3 inch pipes down my transmission valley.
stanghunter211 11-26-2002, 07:29 PM Ebay has some kits available that split at the cat, into two 3" pipes with 40 series flowmasters and 3" chrome pipes over the axles and to the stock locations. Keeping in mind that it is not "true" dual exhaust ..... it sounds badass and beats just having a single muffler. Would be a unique thing too, not too many people bother with diff exhaust on f-bodies, other than dif mufflers and stuff. Check it out

IrocSS85 11-26-2002, 07:36 PM do a search. this subject comes up frequently. i have pics of my duals but the pics arent that great and I have bullit muff.s on there now instead of the cheap super turbo's.

enjoy. chris
stevem 11-27-2002, 03:12 AM i am in the same boat
i just built a 383 and i cannot decide single 3 inch or dual 2.25 or 2.5 inch out just in front of the rear wheels w/4 inch angle cut tips flush w/body kit
i will probably do single for now but i really want duals
proamature 11-27-2002, 01:39 PM I'll be running dual 3" with side dumps off my hooker super comps with my 454 3rd gen project
Deimos 11-27-2002, 04:31 PM What I said is I got true duals. I don't have single into duals. It is all in preference. There is a guy in my town who wanted to build a 454 Thirdgen with 5.13 gears and a 27 inch tire. lol
DARCOM 11-27-2002, 11:20 PM i have true duels on my z28 that run out the back if your worried about the law messing with you.

aklim 11-29-2002, 01:16 AM People, People, People!! The word is DUAL not DUEL. this is from Dictionary.com:
Dual: Composed of two usually like or complementary parts; double: dual controls for pilot and copilot; a car with dual exhaust pipes.
Duel: A prearranged, formal combat between two persons, usually fought to settle a point of honor
DARCOM 11-29-2002, 01:21 AM my exhaust pipes are allways dueling over witch one flows more.:D
crakpotjoe 11-29-2002, 01:52 AM how much would a true duAl exaust setup cost ?
DARCOM 11-29-2002, 04:10 PM 1 did mine for 1200 bucks you can find it alot cheeper and use
cheper pipes now just ask your local custom fabercating race shop.
crakpotjoe 11-29-2002, 09:26 PM sweet thanks
99huggerorangeZ 11-30-2002, 03:35 AM i just bought a flowmaster 3in american thunder exhaust system for my 1991 305 but now that i am putting in a 377 can i still use that exhaust system
PS
thinking about bolting on a pair of hooker super comps
will that system still work with long tube headers if i decide to get the hookers
aklim 11-30-2002, 07:55 AM I know I got my 3 in SLP for under a grand and I believe you can get a 4 in mufflex one for less than a grand. The SLP is mandrel bent but not a dual exhaust.
I also don't believe there is a performance difference other than the sound and being able to tell your buddies that you have a true dual exhaust system. I disconnected the exhaust from the collectors back and ran it and noticed no difference, at least on the track.
Deimos 11-30-2002, 10:59 AM I got a buddy with 27 years experience to install mine. I got dual three inch with 3 inch ravin mufflers. They flow good and sound bad ass and bent installed for 400 bucks. Yep so I got a good deal and a good job. Not it wasn't cheaper pipes.
crakpotjoe 11-30-2002, 12:18 PM the true duals had the better sound id imagine?:confused:
aklim 11-30-2002, 07:14 PM You got it bent for 400 dollars? Was it mandrel bent that you cut up or just a regular bender? What material was used? What is the HP or Torque gain?
Deimos 11-30-2002, 09:45 PM Like I freaking know I went in with open headers driving through the my city at 7 AM in the morning. But if you match the size with horspwer and back pressure you get the best efficiency.
