  • stock dual exhaust?

    I have a dual exhaust system on my 3.8L camaro, a Y-pipe..as most are.. it doesn't exactly look stock, but it doesn't very much look after market either..it doesn't sound very stock, but it's hard to know what that is since most owners change their exhaust. It doesn't have any chrome tips or anything but i still think it may be aftermarket. I bought the car used this way. Did the 96 v6s have a stock dual exhaust option or is my kit aftermarket..?

    they are unpainted and down firing..hard to see unless you see the exhaust coming out

    Yeah they had a package. It's called the Y87 and it has a limited slip, 3.42s if its auto, steering, and blah blah blah... Congrats.

      so does that mean the car has more than 200 horsepower stock? and what do you mean by steering...what about it?

        It has the steering ratio of the v8 cars. That just means it has tighter steering. Also he didn't mention the thing that locks the back wheels together... I'm blanking on the name of that.

              Are you the original owner? Maybe a previous owner had the exhaust replaced at some point and thats what it was replaced with.

                  did you check your build codes for y87? sometimes, GM just puts things on there to get ride of it or even sometimes they run out of stuff so they stick something else in there to keep the line moving. i ran into this again recently when my dealership got a new tahoe in with a leather second row seat with everything else cloth. Try getting a seat cover from GM when its a brand new model :\

                    Well for example, sometimes exhaust shops order those exhausts and call it a "premium" exhaust or "factory performance". Some people dont want aftermarket, they just want something thats stock and says performance on it.

                          On the driver side door panel there is a sticker with a bunch of codes..down near the end of the sticker you might see Y87 :)
