Ive only has this car for about a month and one of the things on my list is the exhaust. It has a huge leak and I’m planning on just straight piping it. Although i have been trying to look into side exits. I can only find pictures of it. I’ve had no luck with diagrams, form post it videos. i want it to come out of the passenger side in front of the rear tire. Anyone know anything or have anything that would help me? Thanks

 

First, I need to move this post. “CamaroZ28.com Podcast” is not the place for “tech” questions. It was for a podcast that was canceled many years ago, and the “sticky” post at the very top of the forum indicates “Please do not post in Podcast forum”.

Need clarification:

Do you plan to start with headers or keep the stock cast iron manifolds? Will you use “single cat” 1993-1995 headers that dump both banks of the engine into the passenger side Y-pipe, or “dual cat” 1996/97 headers that dump into the Y-pipe on the on opposite sides of the engine? Will you even use a Y-pipe?

Where is is the “huge leak” in your existing exhaust?

By “straight piping it” do you plan to delete the cat and not include any muffler(s). And you have no local inspections that require a cat or a muffler? Gonna be real loud.

And you only want a single outlet on the passenger side, or dual outlets on the passenger side (one for each bank of the engine), and none at all on the drivers side?

Is this intended just for appearance, or are you looking for improved performance?

You're not going to find a kit for something like this, and I've never seen anyone on this site try it. It can be done, but will require some off-the-shelf components and custom bent pipes.
