i havent done it yet...........but im probably gonna order the 18" 304 stainless steel general use muffler, with a 3" diameter.

i have jethot longtubes..........so it will go to an Xpipe, then the mufflers, then dumps.

sounds good to me...do you think the 18" with the 3" inlet and outlet will fit?

im pretty sure it will..........look at this picture and you can see, those mufflers are about 12-14" im guessing...........so there seems to be room for 18" in the same location.

ill take pics when mine is done.

I got this reply from a guy at that web site:

2.5" diameter systems seem to be the most popular on Z-28's.

We're making them now and they will be ready the first of next week.

Call if we can be of more help.
231 775 0258 9 to 4 est.

Thanks for checking us out.

I've asked if the 3" inlet will work as well...will post...

Anyone can tell me if there is HP gain from true duals or are they strickly cosmetic?

Yes there is a hp and torque gain through true duals rather than any other cat-back. It simply 'opens' up your exhaust so that there is less restriction, therefore producing more torque and hp in general.

Having headers causes a small loss in torque, but it is compensated...

it doesnt do much on a stock motor

but on a heads/cam or stroker, it can be an improvement.

Re: chambered true duals?

i have the same idea.

^concepts.. the first one would work out better because its nearly impossible to route pipes over the drivers side of the axle. The mufflers you see will be 18" sweet thunder chambered.
