I just got my Hooker LT's over the axle and man it sounds even sweeter. I have had my Hookers, x-pipe, and dumps w/2.5 inch pipe before the axle for a little under 2 years. I loved the way it sounded, sometime a little annoying with the interior vibration. Since I have emissions I needed to get the exhaust ran out the back so I went to a shop back near my small home town and this guy did it. For $220(parts included) he finished my exhaust over the axle, replaced my rear pinion seal w/fluid and did a front end alignment. I think that was a pretty good deal since it cost a little over $200 for the dumps w/x-pipe. The car has a deeper tone(mustang sounding) and is just to Sweet!!

 

Cool man .... that is an awesome deal. What about cats? What kind of x pipe is it ?

 

I am going to try no cats since when I first bought the car I punched the cat out and still passed emissions so I'll try that again.
And the x-pipe is just an x-pipe the shop fabbed up.

 

How'd you run your duals over the axle? Got any pics?

 

Id like pics too. If you can get them, try to take detailed ones of every angle. I would appreciate it.

I have pics in the sig of my over-the-axle duals. Just out of curiosity, I'd like to see your setup.

 

Patriot.. Nice Setup..

 

Patriot ive already seen yours now i just want to compare what you have done to mr droptop's setup. Every idea helps and you know every pic says a thousand words.

I am putting the Hooker LT's in my car as part of the rebuild i'm doing. The driver side was kind of a biatch to put in. I sawed off the front pipe and put it in seperate. I also am going with no cat. But it looks like you are going to dual exhaust, i'm going straigh to the flowmasters. Should make an intresting pair, the flowmasters and hookers

 

I'll get pictures up in the next few days, looks likes patriots but it could be a little different

 

Wouldn't true duals be two headers into two mufflers then two tail pipes out the back, but they never meet up? That's what is done on my 75 Camaro and it sounds amazing.

 

First off I just noticed I keep saying I got my longtubes over the axle when it is actually my duals.
And here are some pictures. I have noticed they are banging off something when i hit certain bumps.

I call those straight pipes.

 

I was suprised to see that you ran the drivers side pipe in between the panhard bar and the panhard brace. That could be where the banging is coming from. Everyone says you either have to remove the upper brace or buy a relocated one.

 

Would removing the panhard bar or brace affect the driving any. That is mosly for the corning of the car right. I dont do any insane driving.
