opinions on single tail pipe?
opinions on single tail pipe? I have a borla cat back which im currently in the process of polishing, its fully welded so I could only take off the passenger side tailpipe. I went for a drive before I finished it and wow! its allot louder with out it even with no plate. so that got me thinking.. I'm planning on getting an e-cut out for the borla and now I'm thinking about replacing the tail pipe with a turn down behind the cut out.. but I'm on the fence about the looks. what do you guys think? yay or nay on a single tail pipe?

I have borla catback on my car without any tailpipes. I capped the flanged side with a piece of 1/8" plate and took the short tailpipe off of the drivers side.
I think no tailpipes showing looks 100x better than those retarded dual square tips that borla puts on their catbacks.

The borla was on my car when I bought it. Im probably going to refab the entire exhaust system one of these days. The custom Y-pipe that is on my car looks like it was made by a teenager. Im probably going to make the whole exhaust system headers back and run a flowmaster hushpower muffler in the y-pipe and a delta 40 series after the axle with one turndown tailpipe.

Do any of you guys have before and after videos? IM very interested in this. As far as just the single tip, you can have two and only have one functional. So just hang the second one dont hook it up. Early SS camaros stock had tailpipe(S) on just one side didnt they?
I'll make some vids as soon as its running again
got a couple of things to finish first which hopefully I can get to this week. im not sure about the early SS's.. and good call about a fake tip I guess I could rig some thing up

It looks like LT1 SS camaros got a single side pipe and LS1 models got dual side exits. I could swear ive seen 98 models with the same exhaust but i cant find any pics so i wont claim that as of now.
This is a factory 96 SS bone stock. Two tailpipes, on only one side.

those are some sharp SS's! alright you talked me into leaving it off. as soon as I get some disposable $ I'll get an e-cut out and weld a turn down to a flange to bolt up. I'll post an exhaust vid up as soon as its running again tho
yeah I'm gonna attack the rest of the c/b today, I had just finished polishing the pass side pipe lol. the rest of the system is gonna be a PITA tho since its welded and I can't drop it. I might get some diff tips one of these days for it.
