About to install true dual exhaust. Any Tips?
This shop is going to do it all for a real good price. I went with Hooker headers, flowmasters and 2.5 pipes. I will leave the option of installing converters on both pipes if I need to so I can pass the visual inspection.

Thanks Darcom . I copied your exhuast layout . I might go with that routing but instead go with the tips like your traditional Z28. NOt that there is anything wrong with the way you have em.
