Default Custom true dual pics

Had them done at Magestic Muffler in Mooresville NC. If you are looking for an exhaust shop this guy is who you need to see if you are local or within driving distance. The tips are just temporary till I figure out what I am going to do.

You F body guys have it tough. I thought the vette was tight on ground clearance. Stay away from speed bumps but I guess you do what you got to do. Looks good.

No drone with it going all the way out the back. Speed bumps are out of the question.

This is why I went with a TSP catback. I wanted duals w/ an x-pipe over the axle, and nobody around here would do it. I even had the $$ for it, but they refused to even try.

Maybe its just me, but I dont see a crossover point..So these woudln't necessarily be "true duals", but looks like prety descent work.

There is no crossover due to clearance issues but it is still a true dual setup. Anything that doesn't merge into the y-pipe setup is a true dual system.

Watch where you drive,since you went under the panhard bar with the pipe's. Might look at picking up a panhard relocation bar so you can take the exhaust up and over at the rear to give you better clearance down the road.

I dumped mine at the axles for that reason. Mine clears just about everything but it still makes my *** draw up when i see a decent size bump in the road or speed bumps in parking lots,those will do the most damage to your exhaust.

Looks good you will be surprised that if you study the layout you can get a crossover pipe in there,it should help balance out the flow.

Is it going to be fine to do a crossover with that much of a spread?

I would think it would be ok, looks like you should make it into an H after the Tranny crossmember. The old rule of thumb used to be like 3 inches after the header. Maybe an exhaust professional will chime in.

If i remember right i put my H or cross over right at the end of the tailshaft so i could drop the tranny without having to cut the exhaust and remove it. With these cars you can only do what the bottom of the chasis allows or take it to a professional and spend lots of money to get it perfect.

^^^Did you notice if the H hurt you or not being that far back? Thanks for the feedback guys. I might take it back to him next Monday to have the H installed.

It did not hurt me at all. I went from a X pipe to a H pipe setup because of needing room to play with the transmission. The H pipe to me sounds better,has a deeper tone but comes alive at WOT. The X pipe was loud all the time and was hard to fit under the car where i wanted it but was a nice flowing peice.

ive always followed the method of paint the pipes, then go out and make a WOT blast and come back. whereever the pipe is blistering the paint is where you want the h.
it might not be in the same location on each side.
