for those of you that don't troll the "other cars" forums, i have a true dual exhaust with side exits. There are no mufflers on the car. It is loud, to say the least. So, here's the video

My apologies for the quality of the video as it was done on a digital camera, not a digital camcorder.

wow, typing owns me..the topic should have the word "like" after sounds..my bad..

sounds good.. what kind of headers are you running..

just the stock exhaust manifolds and cats... headers should come before christmas, most likely long tubes...

I think it needs an "H" pipe.

..then it wouldn't be true duals =) Honestly, the raspiness is an acquired taste..

Sounds pretty good. Headers will make a huge difference though. BTW do you have any pictures of the setup. Im thinking of running side exits with the wings west skirts and have it go through the skirts.

I tried to acquire the taste of it on my 1950 Chevy Styleline with a 350 V8 but was never able too so I added an "H" pipe and love it now. I think they do sound good at idle but after that I personally don't care for it. Have you had any problems yet with the pipes hanging so low?

This is his post with pictures. Link

Always have loved true duals

Especially when it's stock





................Which car will hit 400 whp first???................

who has stock true deuls???




other cars, better cars?

um...yea....it came from the factory like that =)....or...something...

and yes, i do have alot of "clearance" issues

i know it did

have any dyno #s?



other cars, better cars?

nah, it's essentially stock+SLP. The previous owner ran a 13.2 on street tires, but other than that, i have no idea.. after christmas comes around, i'll be putting some mean HP through that motor..

nice

I'm with Brett on this one. I think it sounds good idling, but I don't like the raspiness on revs. Almost sounds like a Motorcycle(crusier type).

I Think the GTO"S are alot nicer then the Camaros. but i like the dueal exhaust sound

again i will say i like the sound and i bet the vid doesnt do it any justice....prolly sounds 100 times better in person..

sounds like a bad ass harley

from either side, yes...
from the back or the front, the 2 sides cancel eachother out, and it sounds completely different

hey, i like it man

just a quick question, i was talking to my friends dad about his big block and i dont know if this same thing applies

he said that with the H connector between the actually helps exhaust flow a lot, like better than true duals, i cant remember what word he used but he said because of the pressure or something the H connector helps pull the exhaust out rather than forcing it out

any idea what im tlaking about?

it equalizes the pressure, lets say the right flows better then the left, now some of the slow flow from the left goes into the right pipe and makes the each side equal in flow.


-Borsty

borsty hit it right on the head..it is for exhaust pressure normalization and also produces a distinctly different sound too.. my main problem is that if i do connect up an "H" pipe, then i'm going to have to take the whole exhaust out when i do my tranny/clutch

dont weld it just use muffler clamps.


-Borsty

in hindsight....great idea , lol...i'll have HP Racing fix it up once i get the headers on.. I should be getting a set of LT's for free, if they don't fit on my buddy's camino(dropping an ls1 in his 87 camino ss)
