Just thought I post up pics of my Hooker 2210 longtube headers and Mufflex 4" cat back exhaust in my T-56 converted (Skulte Longtube Xmember) Z28. I had a local exhaust shop fab me up a Y-pipe. I gave him a Flowmaster Y scavenger (dual 3" into a single 4") and told him to keep the ground clearance as best he could. You can really tell from the pics, but the header collectors are the lowest point in the whole system!

Do you think there was anyway for him to raise it up in the middle area? Main reason I'am asking is cause I have the mufflex 4" and flowmaster scavenger with the Skulte Longtube Xmember comming. I'am looking for Idea's before I tear everything apart this oct.

Nope! Its pushes the xmsn up a tiny bit more than my Spohn one did, and I can see a wee bit of chaffing from the xmsn mount on the Skulte xmember already. I going to do a little clearancing on the metal part of the xmsn mount to fix the chaffing. It looks to me like everything is as far "up" as it will go. Hope that helps.

how was the fit of the mufflex catback? i've heard the 3.5" is hard enough.

Looks good. you have alot more clearance than my setup with the spohn xmember and auto trans. I went under the frame rails and paid for it with crushed y pipe. that was 3" piping, and it did touch bottom of the road alot. yours looks much better. T56 and T56 xmembers help alot with 2210's

Better than I thought it would. I thought it would rattle against the frame from time to time, but so far its been great. ALOT louder than my SLP shorties and Flowmaster 3" cat back!

you can fit 4" single exhaust on these cars without too much problems.

kind of old post, but how much did that y pipe cost you? was it a 3 inch?
Thanks

Yea, its a 3" pipe. I think it was around $200 for it.

Thanks

How do you like your Muflex kit? Which one do you have?

Randy92Z

I love it! I have the Spintech muffler single 4" out kit. Although Im in the process of swaping out the Spintech muffler with a Dynomax ultra flow Muffler.

It wont sound as good, but you might pick up a couple of ponies by switching mufflers.

Let me know what kind of a difference it makes, I'm curious!

thats a great looking system

I was going to advise in swapping out the Spintech. They sound killer but are horrible for actual exhaust flow. We basically have identical setups cept mine is in the 3.5" and I swapped the Spintech to a Hooker Aerochamber. Was worth another 10 to the rear wheels. But I've seen much more gains from ditching the Spinners on cars!! Nice car BTW!!

Randy92Z

Exactly! Ive been reading some posts about people picking up 20-30 rwhp swaping out the Spintech muffler. Some say that they have to re-tune the car and add a bunch of fuel to get there A/F ratio correct. Ive been expecting to pick up 20 rwhp, from the muffler swap myself.

After replacing my old exhaust, (Flowmaster 3" cat back, SLP headers) I went back to the dyno with my new Hooker 2210's, and 4" Mufflex exhaust I picked up 38 rwhp without any tuning yet! So it will be interesting to see what will happen on the dyno once I get the Ultraflo on and tune it.

....let alone the weight loss by going to another muffler. Those Spintechs are heavy.

Hi Randy92Z
nice looking Exhaust..

dont know if you are looking at your photos..but you need to get that rust off your SFC's. and get a somthing on them.. before you have to replace them.. the tube style is not up to alot of rust. when it comes to stoping the flex.. just so ya know..

on aside note: i wish my car came without all the Black stuff the dealer sprayed under My 92 when i picked it up.. i pasted on the cost as it was going to be a drag car..then the nexed day when i came to pick it up... they told me
"hey we just added that for free has a thank you"

why do you think i told you i did not want it..
there was like 10 lbs of that stuff on there..

its all about the sound! spiners sound killer. I only wish they made a 4 inch aerochamber

Randy92Z

iTrader: (3)

It does sound good, Im not gonna lie, LOL.

iTrader: (5)

i would say its worth the power drain. Lol

and the weight in the rear helps get closer to 5050 weight distribution lol

hooker if you are listening make us a muffler!

Now the only thing holding me back is a crosmember that im satisfied with lol

91camarosRS

iTrader: (5)

so you had a spohn crossmember but then got that one?

Randy92Z

iTrader: (3)

Yes, when I had my SLP 1 3/4 shorties on there with a Flowmaster 3" cat back system, I ran the Spohn xmember. Then I got the Hooker longtubes, Mufflex 4" catback and Skulte xmember at the same time and installed it.

hey yall i'm looking into the mufflex system too, having a little trouble picking out a muffler and cat for the system. i've been out of the car scene for a few years so lost contact with most local enthusiasts. i'd like to have a the dual outlet spintech muffler but have no idea what it would sound like. seems that yall like it? i'd like to put a cat in the system as well to keep it legal and worry free, any input of those who have worked with this system? thanks guys!
