heres some info

No compromise exhaust for your F-body. Before there was no simple dual exhaust solution that had excellent ground clearance. Now you can have the sound and power of a true dual exhaust system. Our setup passes under our custom transmission cross member (for extra clearance) and is routed down the driveshaft tunnel and over the rear axle on the passenger side. For increased top-end power and a more exotic sound we use the x-pipe crossover, which is designed to work with exhaust pressure waves to improve cylinder scavenging. Catalytic converters can be used with stock manifolds or shorty headers but not with long tube headers.

2.5" mandrel bent tubing, 3" under development
Coated with silver high temp paint
Good ground clearance on lowered cars
Crossmember included (Stock transmission or T56 version)
Catalytic converters and cat-forward pipe not included
Mufflers and tips not included

There is room but not much. I am going to copy willie and use 2 stainless works 69 camaro style chambered mufflers. They fit just perfectly. Do a dual exhaust search and look at willie's exhaust it is pretty cool.

First, 2 Dope the price is only $350, that includes a custom crossmember. You have to supply your own headers, cats, mufflers and tips.

Second, tbfirebird if he was selling the exhaust and was on here telling people to come buy my exhaust...blah....blah...blah...that would be a different story. But, chance is that not everyone here has heard of it and he is just letting people know that they have another option when it comes to exhaust. There is always someone wondering if someone makes dual exhaust for our cars and here is the answer to ALOT of people questions.

Any chance that the included crossmember can be modded to use a Spohn Torque Arm?

i think i'll be buying that bad boy. what kind of headers is good to use with that? just to ask this question, which i'm sure it would but would headers and 2.5 pipe put out more power then a 3" cat back?

also where would you put 2 mufflers

The tourque arm question is a good one, you would probably have to ask them about that. As for the mufflers, they would be located where the stock muffler would be.

Muffler pics:







As far as power goes he has a supercharged 305 that has run a 12 flat in the quarter. Not too bad if you ask me!

P.S.
These are pics of ******* AMAZING exhaust!!!

Those mufflers are made by stainlessworks exhaust they do not come with the kit. They are like $120/muffler, $140/muffler if they are polished like willie's are. It is expensive, but to me it is worth it.

That pipe does look a little bent, but it could just be the light. That is where they have the x-pipe located so it could also be discoloring making it look bent. Either way yes a bent peice of exhaust tubing would not be good for flow.



Oh and nuclearz the exhaust is made my maniac motors.

would you have to use long tube headers with this exhaust .i have a set of dynomax headers that are about even to the bottom of my oil pan with the collectors. i could probably moify my y pipe to make it work. keep the info coming.

The price has gone up to $400 due to the US/Canadian exchange.

I am talking to them right now, getting ready to place the order.

The trans crossmember now comes powdercoated!

They are also going to attempt custom fitting the pipes to my SLP headers.

I bought 2 stainless chambered mufflers from www.sweet-thunder.com and plan to route them the same way Willie did. Sweet Thunder's muffler cost half of what others want...

That looks really cool. Does it come as a "catback" or do you have to weld all the pipes together?:hail:

It is cat-back as long as you use shortie headers with the cats. You cannot run cats with longtubes.

if its a true dual exhaust then how could it be a cat back system ? True duals to me means either no cats and 2 mufflers or 2 cats and 2 mufflers, i may be wrong i dunno

I'm not trying to ruin this for everyone but that looks like a very low quality set up.

If they were to do it right then it wouldn't be soo many pieces all patched together it would be no more than 2 lenths of pipe with mandrel bends instead of pieces welded together.


good luck to those that are going with this

Open mouth - shove foot in.

Have you ever made an exhaust system... Thought not. I have. They do the same thing everyone else does. They buy prebent mandrel pipes and cut and weld them to fit. This a small performance shop, not a multi-million dollar company.

Matts90firebird - the email address is right on the site. For some reason the order form won't work.

Willie, on your setup, the mufflers are parallel, do the i pipes run on the stock side and the one pipe make a crossover to the left along the diff and then exit on the right side? If you could possibly show a drawing or somethin to show the set up from an undercar view?

First, willie does not have this exhaust, his exhaust is completely custom fabricated. Although they are very, VERY similar. As far as problems, you might have to be a little more careful with speedbumps and whatnot, but the clearance seems to be pretty good. Flowmasters 40 will be a very tight fit, I don't know if they would fit.

mufflers...

I'm really looking in to getting this setup and I was wondering would 2 4" mufflers fit? I've been looking for some round mufflers and most that I've found have 2½" inlets and outlets but they have 4" casings. Because you said its very tight for space and you only showed a pic of a similar system for the mufflers which looks like it has absolutely no space for bigger mufflers.

for like the 2nd time now 2 flowmaster mufflers wont work there is not enough room under the car. that is one of the reason nobody can make a dual exhaust. read the above post thats probably the only mufflers that will work unless you can get the 2 pipes into 1 pipe and add 1 muffler and the 2 out's for your pipe but that would be incredibly dumb. i was thinking about getting this but i don't like the looks of it myself.

I'm not trying to ruin this for everyone but that looks like a very low quality set up.

If they were to do it right then it wouldn't be soo many pieces all patched together it would be no more than 2 lenths of pipe with mandrel bends instead of pieces welded together.


good luck to those that are going with this


agreed
