Default My Home made true dual exhaust on APS kit

I made my own True Dual exhaust for my 403 cid APS twin car

T 304 stainless 3 inch tubing Tigged up W/O mufflers but I will probaly add them later as it is still a little loud for my taste right now. The system comes out in 3 sections + the tail pipes split in 2 so I can drop the tranny pretty easy

The longer than normal X pipe is 4 inch oval that fits aound the Spohn Torque arm mount that is straight and made for the stock or kooks exhaust. the car also has both front and rear Driveshaft safety loops which made it quite a bit harder to run the dual 3" tubing.
(the green paint is where my 5 year helped me one night)

That's one hell of a job you did there. That looks awesome. I'd keep it that way. Mufflers are for pansies.

You have mufflers, they are rotating baffles

Nice setup!

I was curious as to how much louder in dB an exhaust like this is compared to having a high flowing after market one installed????

Is it only once exhaust begins to flow through the wastegates that it gets much louder than say an NA car with long tube headers and a free flowing exhaust?

Keep up the nice work!

it is much quieter than a N/A setup. keep in mind this is without any muffler at all

Looks and sounds great, I too am not going to be using a muffler with my turbo setup since the turbo 'acts' like a muffler

I would have lost that one driveshaft loop and replaced it with a strut frame brace.
