Default local shops and exhaust

I am getting a camaro and have to run exhaust from the longtubes back. So why not go true duals instead of wasting money on y-pipe to a single right? every shop in town is telling me it cant be done. what gives. then the last place i went to said the single 3" will flow better than true dual 3"....

hes said i shouldnt go duals cause there is no point cause its not a race car...

its a 396 with a stock top end at the moment... going LE2 heads/cam package on it... now why wouldnt i want it going through duals?

oh ya... what are some good muffler options? flo-pros or something? havent ran duals on any of my camaro so the mufflers are going to be new to me

True Dual 3" will obviously outflow any catback or single 3". A 396 with LE2 heads/cam will definitely like true duals.

Any muffler shop that says true duals can't be done on a 4th gen, should not be touching your exhaust anyway.

Hey:

I would get in touch with wrd1972, and get a pick of his duals and take it to a shop and have them copy them, His are awesome looking maybe have both pipes over the top, they are 2.5 inch duals, THAT IS STILL 5" VS 3" OF FLOW

Can't be done.


Seriously, im not sure if 3 inch can be done over the axle without heavy modification/heavy bottoming out. All I have seen have been 2.5 inch.

Also, the guy who did my exhaust was saying how it was impossible the entire time he was running it. Then when he was all done he never said anything, I found it funny.

I walked into an exhaust shop for 2.5" true duals today, first thing he asked, before I even said anything was...





"when are you going to let me do true duals are your car?!"
