I-pipes

[triad]

Can I take one off a T/A or a Z28/SS and use it for my exhaust?
I noticed out of the cat we have a weird looking S-pipe into the I-pipe...if I do use a larger I-pipe will I have to have a new S-bend pipe fabricated to make it all fit?

thanks

A lot of guys here have done that. You will get a better exhaust note. You will need an adapter.

What kind of adapter?

The I Pipe I got off a Z28 didn't have the S bend, so I ordered two 45 degree 3" pipes from jcwhitney for about 40 bucks. They also have 2.5" Pipes. http://www.jcwhitney.com/product.jht...=14721&BQ=jcw2

Did you put them on or did an exhaust shop do it for you?

shortdog: Is this the 2.5 in piping you where talking about?

The exhaust shop did it for me. They put on my highflow cat, custom 45 degree S pipe, 02 bung, Z28 I pipe all for about 70 bucks.

That is correct. The 2.5" is alot cheaper too, so if you wanna go that route, you can. The muffler shop will have to cut em down and cut a hole to weld in the 02 bung. If they say it can't be done, they're full of BS and just lazy.

the S-Pipe is after the cat correct?

Yes sir.

depending on the year z28/ta you get the i pipe from you might be able to the the s-pipe as well. thats what i'm doing, 95 and below v8's had only 1 cat, so they have an s-pipe like us. 96+ have 2 cats, so there isn't an s-pipe.
