I have seen it, but dual exhaust on a 3rd gen of any kind is really hard to do without serisouly comprimising ground clearance. Let alone putting the pipes where you want them. Willie has a pretty nice set-up as far as dual exhaust. His was the first really clean one I had ever seen, although I have seen some since.

Although I bet he paid out his *** for it lol

I was looking at a camaro yesterday. It was an 88. I'm going over with my dad today to make sure everything works well, then I'm going to buy it (2500). It has dual exhaust pipes. They are really beasty.

This camaro was the first car I ever started that my family didn't own

I heard the VROOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!! and fell in love. I'll be 16 in 8 days.

Sho he was talking "true dual exhaust" all camaros have dual exhaust pipes but he id refering to two pipes coming back from the headers, not one back into the muffler then two out. I have been thinking about doing this for a while but i dont know how it sounds because the people who have done it dont have sound clips and it would be a pain as far as ground clearence....

hehe i would be one of those people. Sorry no sound clip but i can tell you it sounds absolutly amazing. I have it hooked up to two chambered mufflers and the lowest part of my exhaust is still a stock part by far (right before it bends to go up over the axle is low i have to figure out what i can do about that but i think its the way it cam from the factory looks weird though). Anyways if you do it you wont regret it sounds real throaty (with the chambered at least), and real REAL loud....not even sure if my car is legal sound wise.

Dont suppose you have any pics of that or could take a few for me? I would like to see how you did that. Willie's looks awesome, but hes is all custon mandrel bent pipe. I wsa looking for a slightly cheaper solution

And who knows if I could see it maybe I could help you figure out what to do about the part you said hangs too low

If you have the cash, there are several brands that make oval pipe, which will help with the ground clearence.

Doesnt borla make like a really really thin/skinny 2 chamber muffler? I bet two of them could easily take the place of that bigass one in the rear.
