Ok, so i went out this week trying to find a shop that would put cat back exhaust with dual exits on it and all of um decided to tell me that i shouldn't change it and so they didn't give me a price (i think they're stupid). Well anyways, at one of the places he had me put my car up on his jack and i found this black box behind the fuel tank which would then mean that i couldn't do duals unless i ran it under the spare tire well and it'd look wierd. So i was wondering two things
1. What is the box thing-is it a filter, pump, bomb....???
2. How would i do dual exhaust
Im sure other people have noticed this and this is prolly a stupid question with an easy answer but then again, thats what forums are for : )
Thanx

i believe the box is a charcoal canister...not sure if you can move it

I had the same issue when putting duals on my 99 z24 when I had it. Don't worry about moving it, just take it somewhere that can do custom pipe bending, it will be work just fine, and you will never know you had to bend around it.
**there is only one true love in my life... and my girlfriend has learned to live with it**
K-so r u saying to reroute the exhaust or the canister??? And also, does anyone know how to reroute the canister and if you can do that??
-Seth
another idea u can use is, buy a flowmaster camaro style muffler and have that mounted, my buddy just threw one on his car, many ppl on here have done it as well. if u search for camaro exhaust im sure youo'll find one.
nice and easy and they look and sound sweet

I'm not sure what that is but if they were a real exhaust shop, they would be worried about it. I say take it to a shop that knows what they are doing.

I have an 05 Sunfire and did a custom cat back with duel tips
here's a pic:
Here's the parts I used for the Cat Back:
- $180 Custom compression bent 2.25" Catback pipes
- $75 Magnaflow Cat (43005) -from Gravana
- $55 Magnaflow 18" Resonator (14494) - From justmagnaflow.com (no longer made)
- $35 Magnaflow Muffler (11148) - 2.25 in / duel 2" out - From Ebay
- $50 Magnaflow Tips (35127) From Ebay, $25 each
So, $395 for the cat back
Headers were $250, and I installed them myself
Sorry for the duble post... but forgot to mention something
My muffler is in the stock location. the passenger tip cuts across the back between the bumper and the spair tire well, then has a hanger attached to the rear of the frame.
Hope that helps
Ok, cool - thanx for the parts list. Whats the sound like??? and is there anyway that you can get a sound clip - like from a video camera or something. Also, did u notice any power gains???

Actually having dual exits on our cars could hurt our performance a tad bit or not perform as well as if we had a single exit setup.
I also have a custom made exhaust system...mine is 2 1/2" with Magnaflow mufflers (I don't have any resonators).

I don't have anything to record my set up with
As far as performance gains... between the exhaust and 60mm TB I have on there, my car flys from 3k to about 5K...
I don't have any dyno numbers either
As for track times... lets just say the driver hurts the times more than anything else :crys:

That's why it's good to have friends with cameras...
If you think your car flies at 3k, drive mine...my camshafts kick right in hard perfectly at 3k rpms.
Good luck on your track times.
By the way, if anyone wants more videos, just let me know.

My Magnaflow dual cat-back came in the mail today. I plan on putting it on tomorrow after work. (05 Cavalier) I'll let you know what happens. I found this thread cause I was wondering about the passenger side muffler/tip.
^^^ I put this exhaust on today and it worked fine. The black box, I believe, is a pump, but it was not a problem for me, my new exhaust pipe ran right between this "pump" and the spare tire well.
