Custom True-Dual Exhaust

Custom True-Dual Exhaust I'm bored today so here's a few pics of the exhaust I'm building for the black car. I used the existing ball flange mounts from my old Y-Pipe and hacked them off to start over with a fresh new exhaust. It's got two 12" long bullet mufflers straight off the headers, then I fabbed up my own X-Pipe from a 3" U-bend that I cut/welded together. I put the X-pipe through the tunnel mount for the torque arm. Who says you can't have true dual exhaust, with an X-pipe, and still have a tunnel mount type torque arm? 
I'm nearly finiished with this setup. Both pipes exit on the passenger side just before the rear axle. Eventually I'd like to take the pipes over the axle and exit behind the axle with two more mufflers. It's loud as hell at the moment but this will get me through the season.

Holy **** this thing is loud as **** now. What's the decibel limit at PIR,,, 103 db? Hmmmmm. I think it's louder than Cody's dragster (101 db) so it might be close to the limit out there. We'll see this Friday I guess...

I think I was at 108 with the cutouts open haha. I also think the cutoff is like 98, maybe the tech guy will chime in forgot his name. The duals look good though mike I will try making it friday to hear you run and see you bring that front end up.

.. You got more clearence now even with 3inch piping? So what would it for me to have u weld up another X-pipe kit for me, cause I have 3inch also and I scrap, not all the time, but most of the time. And I could probably take that other DS off your hands at the same time. Oh also got another job, pumping gas to fund my mods on my car. First thing is a cam. then LS6 intake and lid.

It's amazing what a small tweak can make in ground clearance.

My old y-pipe had cats and those things drug on the ground all the time and even the crown on the road would scrape them. My car is lowered about 1.50" - 1.75" so it's fairly low. I've only driven the car once since I got the exhaust finished up, but I don't scrape on things now that I used to scrape on before. Plus I took the time to place the exhaust hanger in the most solid place possible. That allowed me to place the exhaust piping super tight against the bottom of the car without moving or bumping around.

Wow!! Lol I wouldn't be able to lower mine even like .250 of an inch. My X-pipe is the part that scrapes the most, lol it's all scared up. If you would be able to do anything I would need to replace the driver side piece were the fuel lines are at, cause we just took a hammer and a torch and jus beat it in, instead of doing a nice job and pressing it down.
Here's a few shots of the rest of the exhaust after I finished it up. I angled the tailpipes over toward the passenger side and then dumped them down at an angle. Hopefully PIR's decible meter is toward the tower side lol.... Otherwise I might be screwed with the noise level.

[QUOTE=Mikey 97Z M6;12199299]Do you have an aftermarket torque arm?
