True duals question

[3800SoloWing]

So I'm thinking about doing the setup with a couple bullet mufflers and high flow cats with an angled out tail pipe setup. Any useful tips and possibly a full undercarrage picture by which I can draw myself a diagram?

Re: True duals question

I've seen meatyshell's already. I'm wanting to use an h-pipe setup rather than an x-pipe. I'm looking for a couple pics of the undercarrage so I can figure out some placement ideas.

Re: True duals question

if i remember correctly, there were a few other guys who had true duals but i can't remember who it was. someone was selling some true dual pipes in the for sale section and had a picture of them off the car.

Re: True duals question

found the for sale one: http://forum.camarov6.com/showthread...ight=true+dual

there's no real pictures there besides a link to his exhaust thread on another site...

then here are some pictures i found too..i realize it's not an h-pipe, but i thought it'd help nonetheless :rolleyes:

Just curious as to why you'd want to use an H-pipe setup instead of an X-pipe? For the sound I'm guessing? Because if you're looking for more power, the X-pipe is the better choice.

Re: True duals question

our v6's don't need the H or X pipe to equalize pressure in the exhaust system. The crossover pipe just helps with noise (like popping).

Re: True duals question

curious about the pipe size needed for true duals. is 2.5" or 3" too much for a stock internal engine? How would 2.25" perform? and what is the difference in sound quality?

Re: True duals question

If you hear a decent amount of popping when you let off the throttle, then you should install an x-pipe or at least an h-pipe. The popping comes from too little exhaust scavenging causing spent exhaust gas to build up in the exhaust system, which is why you would need a crossover. The scavenging effect you get with a well designed exhaust system is going to give you more power over just a true dual pipe system. And besides, true duals on our cars don't really provide any real benefit except maybe for sound. A decent off the shelf 2.5 or 3 inch catback will give you much better increases across the board, depending on supporting mods. And personally, if you're looking for horsepower, stay away from chambered style mufflers like Flowmaster. They generally have a good sound, but the least overall flow. I'm more worried about overall performance than sound, so I'll be installing an SLP LM2 or Powerflo catback once I get my engine built.
