Default Question about this setup.......step inside...

I am currently running FLP headers to ORP's then to the Loudmouth...its REALLY loud...and now that I got a new stall which doesn't start to move the car until almost 3000 I feel its going to get on my nerves a lot...I have a cam and the car breathes really well right now and I'm getting it custom programmed...my question is if I decide to put an SLP dual-dual on it with a cut-out welded at some point along the intermediate pipe will it hurt my performace running through the dual-dual, vs running my current setup?

What do you guys think.... <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

Dual/Dual flows pretty damn good. I think Trevor D on here has been posting that he looses 0 trap speed running a cut out to dual/dual.

I like 2OTL too, but I guess you still don't like the look on T/As though. <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

Sounds like a good setup to me.

That can get annoying.

A friend of my has an '02 Z28 with that same setup. He loves it and has decided not to get an aftermarket catback... (since I gave him the dual dual off my SS <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ) It sounds really good with the cutout closed and is really stealthy.

What stall speed is your converter? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> That seems pretty vicious - your car should leap off the line (if the tires hook up) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Yea, the car didn't get finished today, I'm hoping it will be all set tomorrow, thanks for the input guys....

My decesion is all going to be on how bad it really is...I am getting close to haveing enough $$ for HALS...and its either performance or no headaches... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I might also consider getting the dual-dual and putting the cutout on the car with the powerplate...decesions, decesions, decesions..I shouldn't of sold my stock exhaust, which was the dual-dual... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I have the FLP headers and SLP dual's with a cut-out and have track tested it only one time. But compare with the other times, the mile per hour went up 1/2 as compared to others. Yes, I believe it will help you at the track especially with a head/cam combo. Kent

This SLP duel? Is it a true duel exhaust or is it just duel tips? Does anyone make a true duel exhaust for 4th gen F-bodies?

People have their true dual's custom made usually...

I finally got the dual-dual on and I'm very happy... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
