Dynomax 89009

I am determined to run duals on my '86 Iroc and this isthe only kit I found. However I want each pipe to come out on opposite ends of the car (like the stock ones do). I'm sure It's doable with this product. Has anyone used or had trouble with this kit? I'm considering this as my only option because doing it completely custom is deffinetly out of my budget range.

Re: Dynomax 89009

For the billionth time: true duals are a hassle. This kit will work but you'll run into most of the normal clearance issues with these. Unless you can fab your own, piece by piece, this system will offer no performance gains over a quality 3" single, especially on a stock or mild motor. A 4" Mufflex will easily support 500 HP. There's a reason GM did what they did.

Re: Dynomax 89009

I installed that kit on my camaro a few winters ago. I posted a build thread on it in the exhaust forum. A search of my username should find it easily. I even posted a video of it on YouTube. It's under the same username as here on TGO.

I used a pair of glass pack mufflers mounted sideways under the trunk to get he tailpipes to come out in the factory locations. I had to order a 180* U-bend piece to make the turn to the one glasspack. I had to do a LOT of custom work on it to get it to tuck up nicely. I have no problems with it scraping on the ground, but my rear axle has put a nice dent in the one pipe from going over bumps.

I think it sounds great, even though I didn't put any kind of crossover pipe in. I may go back and do that yet, haven't decided though. And I want to rework the tailpipes, I didn't get them lined up quite right the first time.

Re: Dynomax 89009

Watajob I get what you're saying. I'm not doing this for performance, I'm doing it for the sound difference, and the only thing stock on my motor are the heads. But even those have been modified a bit. Thanks for the replies

Re: Dynomax 89009

I'd have to agree with Watajob.

I've got true duals on my LSx Iroc and they are not worth it.

Car makes a good amount of power (381 to the wheels), but those resonnator, glasspack styles don't have any back-pressure. Great when wide open, but actually rob some low end torque - or so it feels.

I recommend a good 3.5 inch system.

Best,
