i am planning on putting a mildly built 383 stroker in my car and was just thinking of ideas for the exhaust. What do you think of this

-hedman long tubes
-dual 3" to a flowmaster 50 series
-dual out, over the axle and dump right before the rear bumper
-all tucked up very nice


-sorry for the crappy paint illustration

 

It's been done before.

 

That's gonna hurt ground clearance right there I bet. Run it over the axle then hit the mufflers.

 

i dont think theres enough room to run 2 mufflers after the axle

 

ya u might have some porblems with clearence

 

I know for a fact that there is.

 

what part number on the long tube hedmans ?


thanks

 

68460

um...how are you planning on getting the ds pipe to the ps? it's going to decrease your clearance there just as much as it would if you ran duals in the traditional spot, then when up and over the axle...and you can run a pipe over the axle on the ds...look at deadbird's setup.

 

fast68- the part # in my summit catalog is HED-68466

mw66nova- do u have a link to a pic of deadbird's set up.

i am open to options

 

how are the Summit brand headers?


has anyone had any experience with them. theyre very cheap

 

search for deadbird on here in the exhaust forum....there are tons of threads with his pictures in them.

summit's headers are essentially flowtechs...they SUCK for performance parts...if your just going with something a little better than stock...OK. but if you want the best bang for your buck...hedman longtubes my friend.

 

6846o

do these fit with stock large style starter and stock engine mounts ?

ive been seeing ppl having problems with starters not clearing with the 2210 headers

it looks like 6846o are the way to go




thanks

 

the o is actualy a zerio 6846zero(0)

nope, no starter or motor mount clearance issues. the starter will have to be removed, the reinstalled for header installation...no biggie. also, you *may* have to do a small amount of trimming on the a-arm mount on the crossmember. not that big of a deal, nothing a handheld grinding wheel can't handle.

 

thanks for all the input guys. I no what headers im gonna get, but im still not sure how to run the exhaust

 

like this:

i like ur setup but i dont want the exhaust to dump before the axle. do u think theres room to run them over the axle then dump before the bumper?

 

you would have to move the mufflers towards the front about 6-8" then you would have plenty of room to go up and over the axle.

 

what mufflers are you using? what are the dimensions?
How do u like the sound?

 

i love the sound, can't beat the sound of dual exhuast with an h-pipe. for dimensions, look up summit p/n 633222, it's a summit brand muffler.

 

i like the setup but i heard the sound clip and its a bit too muffled for me . ill probably go with dual flowmaster 40 series. those new edelbrock mufflers look good, has anyone tried them?

 

Do oyu have to use headman longubes for mw66nova's setup or can you use anything else?

 

muffler fits good in the slot made for the cat

 

u dont want the muffler that close to the engine. it causes power loss. the farther away the muffler the better.

 

There is a better way to do it than this. First check out ******* dual 2.5inch setup.
Willie's exhaust

Now here is the real good one. This is Greezemonkey's setup.

(Just scroll about 3/4 of the way down.)

 

how d'ya figure? all the pro-mod and pro-outlaw guys run their mufflers right on the collector of the headers...

 

They generally don't have 10 feet of pipe after the muffler.

 

Hey...MaNiAk86 what color is your car? I love the color.

 

on the *****'s exaust....gmmg is expensive... but it sounds nice...

 

willie does not use the gmmg. his is completely custom.

 

ive got a quick question. i havent been around long enough, unfortunately, to know the answer. would a 2 1/2" dual setup with mufflers (2 obviously) be noticably louder than a 3" single with just 1 muffler??? or vise versa? (assuming both are dumped before rearend) or even a dual with a 2-in, 2-out muffler.?

reason i ask, im thinking of doing something like this. theres just no room!!!

(btw i have done searches for this and i dont mean to take over anyones thread thanks)

 

it will be louder, but also, it'll have a much cooler tone, esecially if you use some sort of crossover pipe (either an H or X pipe.)

 

i think i wanna go with ur setup mw66nova. hedman longtues to H-pipe to 3"in/out 40 series flowmasters with the flowmaster scavenger turndowns.
is urs 3"?

 

no, mine is 2 1/2". it supports my dads 550hp z28...and it gives me the best ground clearance.

 

well my motor should only be around 450hp so i think 2 1/2 will be adequate. thanx for all the help
