Well I have personally had two different 3" TD configurations on my old 01 SS, so I know all about the ground clearance...and the fact that I already have 3" mufflers sitting in my garage will lean me to a 3" set-up.. Just wanted to make sure that the LT1 farm was feeling roughly the same overall about true duals...and didnt have anything out of the norm as far as cons go. Thanks for the input!

I run bullet mufflers on my set up and really like it. I also run 2.5 inch pipe.

I have no problems with it under the axle, but I can't drop the axle cause the exhaust is in the way. So jack it up by the pumpkin.

PICS OR BAN!!!


yeah, I'm definitely going w/ some powersticks from Classic Chambered Exhaust. 2.5" under or over, haven't made up my mind and 3" cats. 3" x-pipe that I bought w/ my headers for cheap.

The only thing I don't like about the bullet type mufflers is the truckish sound when crusing down the highway in 6th gear. My brother said my car sounded like a 78 dodge ramcharger with the exhaust falling off of it haha. I can't wait to do the CME with 50 series delta flows, should be nice and calm when cruising but with an agressive WOT tone. Either that or I'll go with some spintechs they sound pretty good, but too loud IMHO
