My new dual exhaust.
My new dual exhaust. Here's the old set-up: Very loud(Bubba truck style), but not bad at all at cruising speed, believe it or not.. And, it made good power. Custom 3" Y, !catback
And here's the new one: It is so tame compared to what I had, and sounds awesome at WOT. The car feels much more responsive and doesn't feel like I lost any top-end at all. Weather permitting, I'll find out tonight at the track what it does for me.
It's a 2 1/2" X kit from Dr. Gas for $180 along with a couple of 45 deg. bends for the MACs, a 90 deg. bend(would have been easier to go with a 45 under the driver floor though), a couple of mandrel dumps and two DynoMax Race Magnums(12") from JEG's @ $32/per and had a friend weld it up for me. The extra connections were a few more $. If your in the D/FW area, email me and I'll hook you up with this guy. He did a top notch job - and just works out of his garage.

Re: My new dual exhaust. That looks AWESOME Lane! Did you shed anymore weight w/ the new setup? I can't wait to see your results! Are you taking it to Kennedale tonight?

Re: My new dual exhaust. Thanks guys.. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
I was a little worried about the fuel line, but it's not too close actually, and I've checked it after driving a lot and it doesn't get warm/hot.
I was going to go with a 3" set-up, but Neal at Dr. Gas talked me out of it and into the 2 1/2". Either way, it's more than one 3" dump.
Trevor - weather permitting, I'm going to Kennedale. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> You?
mgreen - yes, the hangers are bolted into the floor.
I was basically looking to copy BlackSunshineSS' set-up.

It's not loud at all to me, after having the other system on there. It sounds a lot like my Magnaflow cat-back I had, but a little deeper - and just a little louder.

Re: My new dual exhaust. That is my new dream set up <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> Seriously man, that looks great <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">
I’m starting to get a little sick of the regular cat-backs myself. Everyone has one, but this...this is special. I wonder how it would flow if you added a couple RT bullet cats in there to pass the sniffer??

Re: My new dual exhaust. I'm going to have to pass on Kennedale. I am looking to run brackets at the Motorplex this weekend, though. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> Let me know how you do tonight! Will this be your first time to try out the Hal suspension, too?

I only have had time to do the rears.. <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> What do you think I should set them at with the stock front stuff?
On your question earlier about weight. Any savings is probably lost on the addition of the two mufflers.

Re: My new dual exhaust. Hmmmm. I wonder how that would fit on an M6 with hooker longtubes?..... I might have to be a guinea pig. Just gotta find a local shop to do it. What kind of clearance are you looking at there?

Easy I would think. And you don't need the extra 45 deg bends. I have more clearance now than with the 3" Y-pipe.

I'd set the left one on 4 and the right one on 5. That worked best on my T/A.

Re: My new dual exhaust. I tested it at the track last night(1/8th mile) and was very pleased. Considering I was spinning to 1.7+ 60s, it still went 7.8's at 86(hit rev-lim.) and 88+ - I was happy.
Funny thing - Our cars don't run quite as well n/a when the DA is +1274(with real high humidity) as they do when it's -660... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
