    I've heard that if you're going with a chambered muffler (flowmaster, etc) then its best to go with an H-pipe. WHile a free flowing (Magnaflow, etc) would be better suited for the X-pipe.

    I'm not saying you can't mix the two, because I don't know much about the true duals.

    Keep us updated, and are you a member of LS1.com and the Z28 forums, (just in case I have trouble getting into this board :( )?

      Does that setup basically mean your gonna have a separate exhaust for each side of the engine? I dunno really all that much technical stuff about cars, hence why I am trying to learn from this board. I wonder why 4-cylinders wouldnt make something like this on their cars (just with one) to avoid that nasty bumble bee sounds. I wanna hear it too when your done, get some cool sound clips, looks like it will be nice.

          Yes, dual isolated pipes from each manifold.

          I will consider a crossover if it becomes necessary in the future, but right now I don't want one for some of the reasons listed above. I will not "lose performance" either [img]smile.gif[/img]

              I phoned Mark today and he got the 2.5" pipe bending dies but not the 2.25"... he said he should have them in tomorrow.

              So, tomorrow, I will call...

              :waits patiently, taps foot, whistles:

                    The pipe bending dies are still on order. So.... no word yet :(

                    Its worth the wait, I guess I spoke on the board too soon, but be assured I'll post when the exhaust is done. :D

                        If all goes well do you think that you and mark might be able to ship a few of these out as a kit for the right $$$?

                          Yes.

                          However I will be listing the parts, part numbers, and complete costs for you guys when Im done.

                          Right now the cats, tips, and mufflers cost me $276.... Welding and piping Im expecting to be $150-200. It might be a little more but I doubt it. I will talk to him about possibly making kits, but realisitcally its easier to order what I did and just copy mine if you can find an installer that is enthusiastic about doing this sort of thing.

                                What are you trying to accomplish with this? Just sound? Just curious...

                                It just seems that it wouldn't help an engine of our displacement over like a 3" single system......... and it's probably a lot more weight.

                                Not trying to bash your ideas... that's just my opinion on the matter. But I would love to be told otherwise.
