Heres some pics of my very simple, yet effective, 2 1/2" dual exhaust setup. Obviously by looking at these pictures you'll see this car is not a daily driver. Its more "strip" than "street" so ground clearance isn't top on my list of worries. I have about 3 1/2" inches of clearance with this setup with 165/15 skinnies up front and 28" tall tires in back. Car is stock height

The whole setup is just Hooker long tubes, Hedman s-extentions, offset inlet Hooker AeroChamber mufflers and (not pictured) turn downs. I tried adding pipe after the extentions but since the mufflers are pretty big I had NO clearance elsewhere without getting custom bends.

I'll take some of it on the ground tomorrow ...Ground clearance isn't all that bad for street driving

 

Thank you for showing the pics!

 

Loud and Low


Hope you tryed it open headers

I've just bring my car back with open hooker 2210, woahhhh my head hurt so much! the problem is the noise when keeping a steady RPM on the Highway for 1hour!!!, did about 10min of town, WOT sound like a strip car, awsome!

 

Gonna fire up the new motor for the first time tomorrow hopefully ...I'm hoping its not TOO loud. I've never heard aero-chambers on a dual setup before so I'm not sure how it'll sound ....atleast I wont sound like every other car though with flowmasters.


I try to stay on my neighbors good side so no open headers

 

YEAH BABY!!! RHINO RAMPS ROCK!!!!

ground clearance looks better then my cat back (thanks mid-***) it should sound pretty good... looks like you got a bad a$$ car there. very nice!

 

Looking good!

So how is your motor fiasco coming along?

P.S. my BAD86Z will be coming out soon itself!

 

Damn where you been hiding? Motors ready tried starting it yesterday its got some weird ignition problems I still gotta take it back apart. Probably something real stupid I'm overlooking.

 

awesome setup man, ive got 1 3/4 inch slp shorties, i think im gonna try a setup like yours as soon as the 383 gets dropped in this weekend

 

Almost EXACTALLY what Im doing for now.
I just put my Hooker Comp. LT's in I have the s-extensions but I went with the 3inch race bullets.. Prob gona be loud.

Then again like you its a more strip toy then street car.

come winter its all gone for something totally diff.

 

With straight through mufflers ground clearance would be great. You could tilt the s-extentions towards the driveshaft tunnel and they'd go straight back to the rear.

My exhaust is just temporary I'm poor have no job at the moment and needed something. The crappy thing is I have a sump in my gas tank so I couldn't just run an off-the-shelf "cat-back" because the muffler would hit. I've been thinking about finding an SLP Loudmouth kit, getting a custom Y-pipe made and removing the "resonater" (which isn't under the gas tank if you've never see a picture of the loudmouth before) for a real muffler. Then I'd be able to have dual pipes coming out the back

 

true... Like I said this is temp till winter.. after winter i wont need duals at all.

(im in the middle of mimicing Turbo Smitys exhaust setup now)

Only diff if Im prob starting off with vette headers

 

Ah, I've been working my *** off and spending time with my daughter but it's time for me to get serious now! lol....The good weather is coming!

So did you get it running yet?

 

Got the car running tonight. Thing is waaaay too rowdy sounding I cant wait til I can afford a different exhaust system.

 

I guess you will have to fab up an X-pipe or an H to quieted down.
