Speed Engineering True Dual Exhaust Kits!!
#1021
I have pacesetters and just got my true dual system from speed yesterday. RE: fitment and install, so far, so good. The only thing I am wrestling with is some adjustments at the rear of the car and the body mount tq arm cross member I have. This system clears the body mount cross member, but just...FWIW I have the midwest chassis body mount tq arm with the cross-member for true duals, it's a tight fit. You should be fine with a stock tq arm or aftermarket long tq arm that installs at the transmission.
Looks like the lowest point is still the drivers side pipe off the header.

The system tucked up very nice and to be expected you are going to loose ground clearance but I think if you are doing aftermarket exhaust on one of the 4th gen f-body’s it should be expected. I went ahead and used all the clamps and hardware included in the kit. I may end up changing a couple for better sealing but again I am overall very pleased. It installed very nice with little headache, at least no more than any other automotive project! Like others have said, there are no instructions and although it is not hard, a simple page or pictures of hanger orientation would help save time. I feel like the system is as tight to the underside as it will get. I was fortunate to have friends that own a lift, so adjustment was not too bad, but I could see it being a bit more of a pain doing it on jack stands. Very pleased!

For what it’s worth, the speed engineering panhard relocation bar has all the needed parts, but again, no instructions. So FYI, one bracket goes to the inside of the factory mount while one will have to fit outside. Also you have to drill out one of the factory holes to enlarge it. Just thought this might help someone else. Pics above..

@03sssnake , Just curious, I was behind a c5 vette (frc or z06) one day at the drag strip, actually ran him one time. But it sounded rediculous. Cam sounded hyper if that makes sense, not Lopey, quick pops. Thing ran 123mph with a crap 60, I had him till the 1/8th in a car that ran 13.2's then he blew by me, BUT point of the story, it sounded amazing. Ive been curious how a fbody with true duals compares to a c5 corvette with exhaust sound wise, Ive never heard either knowingly, Any input?

some small leaks, not a fan of the supplied clamps, got some of them to seal good, but just fighting the others near the axle and rear. I am going to replace them all with this lap joint style clamp (amazon link)..FWIW I have used these before and they seal pretty good.
here is a WOT video, gopro mount is rattling like a bitch, sorry about that.
