Eek! Fake exhaust on Y87??

[black98V6]

wtf??

I was about to say I saw a kid with a riced accord with a second muffler coming out the back.. it did look kinda funny as obviiously wasn't hooked up to any exhaust because there was no exhaust coming out of it (was a cold morning and at a light you you could see exhaust out of the passenger side but not the drivers) and it wasn't well secured either.. bouncing all over the place..

anyway not sure that this has any bearing on the conversation, just thought I'd share.. :D

Here's the image of the blocked right exhaust pipe I got from the guy who owns the 2002 RS. There is a little crack underneath the panel, but he said it does not move out when the car is started or let out fumes.... his left side lets out exhaust smoke while the right does not.... this isn't a modified camaro either, it's a 2002 RS with Y87... Z28 tips... dunno... I knew I wasn't smoking something...

Tell me what y'all think. The SLP explanation that Seppo Kaitainen might be a good one.<hr></blockquote>

That 2002 RS sure looks RUSTY!!! Look at the clamp at the leading part of the tailpipe. Looks like someone placed a block-off plate near the tip.

do this... put your mouth over the right exhuast pipe for about 5 minutes. then you can tell me if there are any fumes coming out... if you never post back we know why. :rolleyes:

Ok, I did that mouth thing on my tailpipe for 5 min.... I'm feeling a little funny.... but not like I would be if there was much exhaust coming out. ;)

Well that is real gay!! If the guy likes the muffler will just tell him to cut off the tips and remove that gay plate and put some real tips on there.

That is a rusty 2002 what are you driving in?? anyways if that is a 2002 take it to the dealer and say look im gettting ripped off, cuz that sure should be covered under warenty i mean the car shouldn't even be a year old.

Not too sure what the point of this post is but hey is fun to hear peeps putting their mouths over tail ppipes good luck :D [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img] hi as a kite [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

hmm I got a Y87 and my stock muffler only had single exit...not even fake second pipe

[Camaro2k2]

I've updated the pics on my sounddomain.com site about the blocked tailpipe. Check it out.

Actually, the car is about 16 months old. I purchased it the first week of August, 2001. I have almost 35k miles in it. And I drove it last winter, and I'll be driving it this winter. I live in Ohio, so hence the little bit of rust due to the salting.

Geez. There are some stubborn and ignorant people out there. We're not saying that all Y87 camaros have a fake right exhaust pipe. Just pointing out that some owners do have a fake right exhaust pipe. Remember, supposedly SLP explained the situation... See the reply earlier in this thread. I posted this as well to the camaroz28.com forum...I started a fire there as well [img]redface.gif[/img] But the thread has been closed thank goodness... some of those guys can't handle the truth. Chevy/GM/SLP are indeed not infallible. Everyone makes mistakes. Perhaps the blocking plate in the pipe was made for good reason... SLP said it was for sound... the 5 extra HP supposedly came from a more free-flowing SS muffler. Nevertheless... it is not a defect as more than 3 people have brought this issue to my attention. That 2K2 RS is indeed stock. Some guys in the forum over at camaroz28.com had the nerve to post without doing research... one guy said that SLP didn't make the RS... SLP sure did in 2001 and 2002.... They even went as far as to explain that the pictures were photoshopped or touched up... hard to believe the things they were willing to do to prove what they thought was right. Scary when belief becomes truth. Just because you want to BELIEVE all camaros have two working pipes because your camaro has 2 owrking pipes does NOT mean that ALL camaros do. Sorry for the rant, but I had to get that off my chest. I thought some of you guys would be more open to the subject.. instead, a bunch of you insist that you can't be wrong.. and without solid proof at that.

I dont know if this contributes to the feeling, but with my dual outlet mufffler, only one side actually looks like exhuast is coming out, and only one side is really hot.

But, exhaust actually does come out of the other one...it's just colder.

Hmmm. Something to think about I guess.

Well, if there is only one pipe working on my W68/Y87 Firebird exhaust, then someone must be sneaking around my car and putting black carbon build up on both tips! [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

If SLP said they blocked the pipe due to the sound, it was probably to make it quieter. The Feds have noise regulations that all new cars have to meet. I can't imagine SLP adding the blocking plate unless they had to.

[Big Tymer]

mine has dual stock exhaust and they both work..... in mornings i cn see the exhaust coming out both sides when its cold....
