Ok so I just finished up my eBay true duals. Ran those with flowmaster 1 chambers. Ill tell you all right now, that this set up does not fit, unless you extend the pipes. Passenger side isn't bad, but drivers side muffler is literally touching the fuel lines, and the torque arm. Maybe 1/8th inch of clearance. I tried to flip them up but couldn't get them to budge enough, so as a temp fix, I wrapped the hell out of the lines with heat reflective tape, put on some Heaterhose, then wrapped them some more. Used a whole roll of like 15 feet. I plan on running the pipe back a little more to get some clearance, but until then am I ok to drive it? It wouldn't be long distances. Maybe just to a shop to fix it up. I also have to adjust the x pipe to tuck up more to the driver side floor.

In for pics sounds whatever. I think you will be fine as long as no dirct contact and the tape is rated for at least 500 degrees.

Sail Hatan

There probably is direct contact at times. And don't have good pics, but here's a video.



Old vs new

Zero clearance

Before I wrapped the hell outta the lines

That rear view is before I tucked the mufflers up more.

o wow that is pretty bad, is it tucked up as much as possible?

Hmm, this is my next setup but with CME, hopefully ill have more clearance. are you running 3 or 2 1/2 pipe?

Sail Hatan

3 inch. It's touching the fuel lines. But I'm gunna run pipe to make it better. The pipe of the headers can be tucked better.

Have you flipped the fuel line brackets?

Sail Hatan

I couldn't. I was having difficulty. That's not my problem area, it's where the lines tie after the tunnel.

SSellers

That shouldn't be a problem to clearance. Mark the muffler top on each side of the line pack where it's touching. Remove, heat up the spot with a torch, lay a piece of pipe on it and GA-DONGGGGG with a hand sledge. Also when you get tired of those turndowns ringing your bell you can angle both inward so they fire at about 45 degrees towards each other and the ground to cancel out a good bit of the resonance.

Sail Hatan

Well the muffler also kinda hits the torque arm. I'm thinking ill just run the pipe back a wee bit

with my true duals over the axel I had to put both on the passenger side cuz of the same issue

Sail Hatan

Today im gunna flip the fuel lines just so I can drive the car. Then in a few days ill drop it pull off the mufflers have the pipes extended and mount the mufflers in the back.

Sail Hatan

ive been driving the car to the gym and whatnot. (only about a mike) aside from a little drone and interior noise, it sounds aweosme. what are the chances of the car catching fire? Id rather that not happen.

man your exhaust sounds good what mufflers do you have?

Fire is possible with direct contact or no air space. Maybe you can wrap mufflers with header wrap or ???

Question, with your setup do you think it's necessary to run dual cut outs? Trying to decide if there will be much of a difference in sound

Sail Hatan

I fixed the lines, moved em up a few inches. I don't think cut outs would be good.
