Its ok, I plan to install an Opti on my Mach so I can get it to run high 13's with bolt ons.









That is if I can keep it running long enough after the mod.

That's the Y-pipe dumbass. The two short pipes are interchangeable/removable in order to run catalytic converters on the street. It's a traditional single F-body exhaust.

Agreed. Mine went to 150k before it took a crap. The problems start when people replace them with those generic brands instead of going with a genuine Delco piece.

I agree with you there. When it comes to some things you just are better off going OEM.

Ouch. Now that I think about it, I could have built a state of the art true dual system including mufflers and still had $500 left over.

I always build my own exhausts. You get exactly what you want and you save $$$.

You should have had an as straight as possible dual 3" exhaust dumped with either a nice X or H. Would have sounded badass and gained...maybe 30rwhp???

You would have to trailer it to the track and back. My lt1 spent more time broke than running and it was my daily driver.
