Exhaust shops in southeast LA (true dual peeps check in!!!) I have a major delima on my hands here....apparently. I just put a set of headers on the Z, and I' m trying to run true duals in 3" tubing. The local muffler shops here in Houma are telling me there isn' t enough room for a muffler on the driver' s side because of the torque arm. Can anyone tell me of a shop that would find this project a feasible task around Baton Rouge or New Orleans? Thanks in advance!

If I measured correctly, and if the tubing is 3 inches...I' ll have like 2.5" of clearance at my lowest point. I just looked at it on a lift, and found a good place to mount the driver' s side muffler....hugging the torque arm. Passenger' s side won' t be ****! The lowest point of the headers, is 3 3/4".

Try calling Supreme Muffler just off of Clearview in Metairie. I had them do a custom exhaust on my 71 vette and they did a great job. They work on a lot of old cars and custom stuff.

Thanks for the tip! I' m gonna try one more time locally, if it don' t work, I gotta do, what I gotta do, right? I think I' ll be going down to 2.5", and they just have to transition the tubing to mate up, and also build a custom X-pipe.

Man I have 3" true duals with 2 full size dynomax mufflers. Where your floor pans are for the back seat.........take a rubber mallet and pound them in. It will leave a perfect compartment for a full size muffler. Also it raises the bottom of your seat a little in the back and its alot more comfortable to an adult(kids never noticed). Its very easy to do and clearance is no problem.

Ok, the ONLY car I' ve seen with KB style SFC's, and it' s a single muffler car. And to answer your question....I already have the mufflers.
On another note, when did you sell the car circus midget? I didn' t think you' d ever part with it!

Well then get rid of your shitty mufflers and get a REAL muffller, douche bag.
That pic was old, but it was the oly one I had that showed the exhaust.
With the traveling for wotk that I do, I am only home one weekend a month and the car was just sitting there rotting away. I hated to see that and I was paying $1800.00 yr insurance on it.
I sold it to SAR2K.

They do custom exhaust work at Futral??
Well, I finally found a shop in Houma to do it, and it looks really good. As soon as I can get the Z on the lift, I' ll get some pics.
