Exhaust Question

Hi, I was wondering what is the best route (most power) for a full headerback exhaust on a 95z28, I'm going to be doing it all soon, anyone know if any company makes a true duel? please post

if you want to do true duals, your best bet is to do it yourself. Mine is gonna cost me about 700 including headers

you can build your own for about 300
flowmaster universal merge-pipe kit - 160ish
2 mufflers - 100ish
then u just need 2 band clamps, 2 universal exhaust hangers, and some creativity and its done

no it doesnt include headers. if you buy the dual steup from texas speed for $400, your still lokking at a minimum of another $500+ for headers and a ypipe

If he gets a true dual system, he won't be needing the y-pipe anymore.

you still have to cut, weld, and measure if you do it that way. TSP is a bolt on exhaust less time welding and stuff. But your way is pretty cheap if you got the welding skills.

thats the way we're doing mine next month or so. did it on a friends, requires no cutting, just 2 manrel bends which will be provided by a local shop for $10, and then we are welding it together outselves.Also, we are doing it in a fashion that you will not be able to see the mufflers, and barely see any of the pipes
