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.<hr></blockquote>

It's all about pioneering, no one knows what it sounds like because no one that we know of has done it before. And we all know the only way to get something done is to do it yourself. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I can't wait to hear it.

Ahh here's the post I expected [img]smile.gif[/img]

Accomplish: Something new and never done, something unique sounding, something without rasp since the Y-pipe is the CAUSE of the rasp, and something under $500 installed... Why pay $650+install for a borla, when mine WITH CATS runs $500? [img]smile.gif[/img]

The dual 2.25" will flow just slightly better than a 3" single, but the cool part is the sound.
I've heard all the 3" singles I care to hear, I had a flowmaster on my Firebird which I liked, but I want something better and something different and I cannot find it on the market.

I'm unwilling to shell out $1000 for exhaust, and still get rasp or rice sounds. I believe this will cure those horrid noises for the most part, it will not be fake dual so nobody can rag on me about that, and it will be my own creation... something I can take pride in being first in doing [img]smile.gif[/img]

I don't mind you asking what you did, I'm not looking for better performance than a 3" pipe. If all I wanted was performance, I'd shuck the cat off mine and run open Y [img]smile.gif[/img] ...

To be brief, I hope its as good as I planned it to be, and I will be honest and truthful whether it is or is not.

[LordoftheBling]

still going to rasp get ready for it. open headers rasp hardcore so why would your true dual not rasp.

good luck

[TheBlackSwordsMan]

two cats and two mufflers....

[Dominic]

Chambered mufflers typically don't rasp.

The rasp is caused by the unequal length of the Y-pipe.

Open headers rasp because they are too short to cancel out any backflow.

Slight Update: One die came in, one of two. He is expecting the other today late or Monday early.


Just letting people know.

[GreenDragon]

ahh hurry up iam curious on whats it going to sound like [img]smile.gif[/img]

Mufflers:
www.sweet-thunder.com I was going to buy from aca at first, but Mark is still the one who makes them, and he can custom configure them for you over the phone. He didnt charge me much shipping, and each muffler was $47.25.

Cats: Dynomax 2.25" Cats 289-15032
Dynomax cats won't throw SES lights, $50/ea from JEGS.

Where are you putting the o2 sensors at? youll have two pipes going back... are you jsut gonna have an o2 sensor on one side?

[Dominic]

Yes, the corvette is done like that, I see no problem. If I encounter a problem, I will just O2 sim it.

[Speedin96]

I live in Dothan right up the road, besides this girl I know lives in Tallahassee so I can come down and stay with her and maybe meet up with you one day to hear it, probably next weekend...

Excellent, you can join the party. We have already got about 5-10 people coming, and I'd love to have more.

Dominic....I am also doing the duel setup.Not until the winter though as you know with all the changes I am doing to the car. You will need to get the Sims for both sides......I got mine off of LS1....got both for 40.00

[MrCoffee]

why would he need 2 if we only have 1?
