Hey guys.

On friday night I picked up a 1999 camaro ss.

My question to you is, does this have true dual exhaust? I am going to be purchasing pacesetter headers very soon and want to know what else I need. I see that most people run an off-road Y pipe, but why would I need this if I have true duals? Also, I need to pass emissions.

No true duals from the factory.

no, our cars do not come with true-dual exhaust. if yours does have true-duals, then the previous owner had that done. best way to know is jack the car up and look. if u ran an ORY pipe, it would free up power but u may not pass emissions without cats

ok thanks alot guys.

I just wet out and looked, and the car does have true duals.

This isnt an SLP option?

So im thinking Ill just buy the pacesetter headers with emissions and use the exhaust that ic currently on the car.

I'm sorry guys, it is not true duals.

I looked again and the y-pipe just goes back much further than i expected.

Who makes an aftermarket y-pipe with cats?

nemss1

some LT header kits come with an option for y pipe with cats but if the ones u chose dont, may have to choose cats and have them fabbed up at the exhaust shop

Can I just use those pacesetter headers with the factory y-pipe? That woulde the best thing for me if thats possible.

nemss1

factory y pipe wont work. why would u even consider the factory y? its really restrictive

Yea, that's what I figured.

I will probably just buy the pacesetters for now and possibly run open headers until I figure out what else im doing..

nemss1

no no no, do not run them open because they will screw up o2's

Well, the deal is I'm in the navy. I don't necessarily have to pass emissions. I can just continue to buy 60 day passes.

So I'm now thinking I'll just buy the pacesetter headers w/o emissions, hooker off-road y pipe, and then turndowns possibly?

Ill just make it true duals..

Pacesetter headers, x-pipe, mufflers, then turndowns before the axle

nemss1

i was basically saying it isnt a good idea to run open headers because if screws up the o2 readings and makes the car run like ****

seeing your setup above, y not just run a true dual setup and end right before the axle???

you could run the pacesetters, cats, x-pipe or h-pipe (whichever u prefer), muffler or bullet of your choice and turndown tips

nemss1

check out the true duals sticky in the gen3 external engine forum and there is a sticky with pics true dual setups

That is what I am going to do, minus the cats. I will run the pacesetters, x-pipe, mufflers, and turndowns.

Which leads me to my next question, who makes an x-pipe?

nemss1

check out texas speed. they make some pretty good true dual kits
