Looks like two mufflers judging by the last underbody shot. One pipe is going into a muffler, the other headed elsewhere, presumably to the other muffler.

In post #1, first pic, you can see the dual inlet muffler if you look close. Not enough room in these cars for two mufflers. He just bent the pipe tight enough to get it to turn in. I’d like to hear this car running.

Not true, there is plenty of room for two mufflers that don't work, or one that does actually muffle.

I don't know how you aren't going to get heat shield rattle with dual pipes. I have the rattle issue with a single 3 inch pipe.

Looking at the muffler, looks like Borla Pro XS. Likely a dual-in, dual out unit. I would hope his tube size is 2-1/2", being he had to use crimp bends.

I thought you meant the one by the header collectors. My mistake, I was either drunk or hungover...those seem to be my 2 states of mind lately lol.

Nice job on the exhaust. I recently had a y-pipe installed on my '01 Camaro and I easlily noticed an improvement.

How bad are the crimps?
Do you all think it’s still going to flow better than a single 3”?

That’s what I did. I stuck on some adhesive backed fiberglass heat shielding on the bottom of the tank though so it wasn’t completely exposed to exhaust heat. No issues so far.
