Speed Engineering True Dual Exhaust Kits!!
#121
I put a few U-bolt clamps on my speed engineering y-pipe, no issues. Yeah they're a bit uglier when under the car, but nobody's looking under there 99.999% of the time.

Genuine Torca Accuseal clamps have been used by GM, Ford, Chrysler and many other OE's for more than 15 years to successfully seal their exhaust connections. If an individual user can't get them to seal up and hold components in place, then they are using them incorrectly, as long as the slip- connector mating components they are being used on are sized correctly.

Has anyone tried one of these with a Midwest Chassis double drop tunnel mount TQ arm setup?

Ok. I want to get these. I have bbk headers that have the flanged y pipe that fits right on their headers. Any idea how much I'd fight to get these to fit with that? May just cut and weld the flange. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like a heck of a deal with great looks/fitment.
Thanks to Soloman for the pics and vid.
Speed Eng. or others that have experience with the kit, would there be room to install a pair of small bullet cats on the front of the system? I know some consider this sacrilege, I'm considering it because I drive my car to work a lot and don't prefer to smell like fuel on the job.

Do the mufflers point straight out towards the bumper openings? Or do the tips have a bend in them to make them exit centered? I ask because I'd like to put single 3" tips on. Wondering if I can just put them on or would I need to create a bend to get them to come out straight.

Mating the exhaust to the BBK headers might be a bit of a pain with the flanges needing to be cut off of the header collectors and also the collectors being .5" smaller than the ID of the dual exhaust. An exhaust shop should be able to get it done for you with relative ease, but most shops now days won't touch a car without cats.

In that case, youll need to cut the flanges off of your current y pipe, weld some 2.5"-3" expansion pieces onto the flanges, then cut off xx" from the duals kit to make it match up to the newly added expansion pieces you welded to the flanges. By the time you go through all that trouble, Id just buy a set of speed engineerings 1-7/8" headers and sell your BBK stuff as a whole and not f*ck with all the fab work. Just my .02

I've been working on mine all week. The champs SUCK-***. I ran them up with a elec impact and they didn't hold. I have some clamps from my other system that i'll try. I had the hole system installed and held up with small jack stands and it sounded really good.

I know exactly how to get them apart. If common sense didn't tell me that I wouldn't be successful in the business. When you throw in someone else's previous work in the equation and corrosion and bad driving and etc., many things can go wrong with any of the exhaust clamps. I simply prefer the wider clamps and have not seen failures out of them near as often as the narrower types. A lot of times there isn't a lot of room to work anything anywhere. I will say I feel they are much better than a U bolt or a redneck coat hanger weld.
