True Duals QuestionS....
True Duals QuestionS.... Hey everyone...got 1998 Z28 camaro 6 moths ago, the car is stock...now the SES light is on i think bcoz of a cloged muffler...i was planning to TD it and i think its time lol, i have some questions to ask you guys as its my first time TD a car....
can i run stock manifods with the TD with H or X pipe till i get a good deal on some headers? will it give any gains? will it sound good? which is easier an H or X?
should i run 3" or 2.5" am not goin crazy with it since its a DD car i might get a mild cam some time later...
i live in the middle east so getting a brand muffler is kinda expensive and hard to find can i run local made mufflers or its bad?
stainless steel or aluminiumzied iron? (its VERY hummid here but no rain or snow)
am probably gonna do it my self, mufflers shop suck over here
is it a hard job to do? ill start working on it after 2 weeks so i need your advises and info....
thanks in advance

I would say you can but why not just wait to you do headers that way the system will be fab'd up for headers instead of the stock manifold's. I know you hate to wait but patients is the key. Do it right once and don't worry about it again IMO.
loool so true abt the i cant wait part 
but seriously car is runing like crap with the exhaust on! ill do it just for fun lol ill see wt i can do and post back 
so is the H easier to make or the X? one more thing...whats the size of the stock manifolds outlets?! thx

If you need to get rid of the stock muffler so your car will run better just take a cut off wheel and cut if off. Then you can run a straight pipe for a while and see if you like the loudness because thats what it will be like with TD's. Once you get headers just do the whole system, I also doubt that you will get 3" TD's I had mine made with 2.25" pipes which was hard to get it over the axle.

Man.. Do yourself a favor and at least buy a set of mac mids.. They are very cheap and will help a LOT over stock manifolds.
The H will be easier to do I believe but IMO the X sounds better and gives a better HP increase. Or you could just do straight pipes dumped before the axle, that would be very easy. I would try to at least get some bullets, or better some knock off 1 chamber Flow Masters.
2.5" will be plenty for what you are wanting.
Again, I would HIGHLY suggest getting some headers.. If you want to wait you will be fine like that.. We cut off my buddies stock muffler right before the axle while waiting on his exhaust setup to come in. It has been almost 3 weeks now and 0 problems.
