Powersticks


I had 3" tru duals over the axle on my 383ci IROC-Z, back in the day, forget what mufflers I had back then. My new LS1 set up will be using powersticks, something similar to this:

Hedman longtubes, Hedman S-xtension pipes w/ ball and socket, Summit 2-1/2" x-pipe kit, and 2 Flowmaster 1-chamber mufflers, and 2 45* turndowns.

Personally I say not to limit your already precious ground clearance. Go with a properly built y-pipe setup instead as it will support just as much as a properly designed dual setup will.

Some even think that a proper y merge will create a better scavaging effect than an x (best you can get for duals) pipe will. Plus the flowmaster y (about the best you can get) is CHEAP from Jegs. I paid under $70 shipped for mine.

I ran straight pipe all the way out the back of my 89.




It is not bad at idle and driving, but it wakes up when you get it.

I found this muffler in Summit I think I will go with them http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku the thing that made me interested in them is "Wild sounding muffler with just the right noise, a deep, throaty sound, similar to the muscle cars from the early 70's" so what do you think?

i have 3" duals bullets on my 86'. i notched and boxed the subrame along the tranny tunnel so it tucks the pipes up in very nicely. i'm taking off the bullets though and putting borla xr1 on it. the bullets are a little to loud for my liking.

I had similar mufflers (flowmasters) , but back then (1988) there wasnt as many choices as there are today.

WAS a 383 with dart 230 cc heads, custom grind comp cams roller, hooker super comp headers, RPM air gap, 750 holley. Now, i pulled it because of the damn oil pressure acting funny. I think it is a cam bearing. So now i just installed a L98 from a 87 TA just to drive my car. The truck sucks on gas so i had to do something. Glad you like it.

It will be pretty good, might pop too much for your liking, or just right. Depends on the person.

I will stick to the stupid TPI for now and wait till the fuel injection system die on me and then carburetor all the way

glasspackta

I have tru duals on my 87 trans am with dynomax headers and dual 2-1/2" piping
with no cats or AIR. I have glasspack mufflers and its somewhat quiet at idle but still noticeable when I get on it though you wouldn't think I even had mufflers.

a guy in my town has those on his 41 chevy pickup, it has a 383, and those mufflers sound awesome. basically the sound of a flowmaster and a magnaflow put together. i like them.
