My true duals

I built a new exhaust for my 87 Camaro while doing an LS1 swap.
It is 2.5" pipe with an x-pipe and 2 power stick mufflers.
The pipes exit on the sides right in front of the rear tire.

Re: My true duals

#1 any reason you didnt use mandrel bends? Cash for a LS1 and T56 swap and then use autodump crimp bends?

#2 post a pic of the car on the ground and lets see how great your ground clearance is.

#3 your trans cross member looks interesting as well, might wanna beef that up.

ran out of cash for mandrel bends after the LS1 swap. Ground clearance isn't to bad, it scrapes on high speed bumps but i'll get a pic when i figure out what i did with my camera lol.
The crossmember is from hawks so im sure it will be fine.

Re: My true duals

What I would be concerned about is that it looks like the exhaust almost touches the rear control arms and the rear axle is on jackstands. That means when the rear drops down (or the body goes up) the control arm may hit the exhaust.

Re: My true duals

Thats a nice looking setup. I bet its pretty loud with those mufflers. So what did you use to paint the pipes?
