This is my first post on this board. I have done quite a bit of
reading and researching up to this point. Although I am not
in the Chevrolet family, I am in the "F" body family with my
1997 WS6 TA.

I have been researching the hell out of true-dual exhaust
systems. After many theoretical calculations and reading
hundreds of posts on the topic I pulled the trigger on a 2.5"
true-dual system. Special thanks to Brent94Z for the links on
his home page.

I did a base line dyno run with the original 3" cat back system
w/ Flowmaster crossflow muffler and managed 298 rwhp and
316 rwtq. I just had the true-dual system installed and should
be doing a follow-up dyno run in the next two weeks.

The true-dual system has a noticeable power improvement
over the 3" cat-back. The system includes cats and tailpipes
and exits in the stock location. I am using Flowmaster 2.5"
race mufflers (5.5" case) so it's pretty loud. There is also a
custom crossover chamber (not an "x" or an "h") that
is a window in the siamesed pipes.

Just wanted to introduce myself and will present more info if
there is interest in my true-dual quest. I can't wait to make the
next dyno run.


But how can I do that as well?.The muffler place I went to said I can't put duals on.It's a california smog thing.By the way,welcome to the board.

Technically you are not allowed to mess with the factory catalytics.
However, if you have a problem with your catalytics you can
replace them and I am not aware of a requirement to use the
factory parts, especially considering the price. The catalytics I
used have a CARB OBD II approval. The bottom line will be my
next smog test in two years.
