raising my car

what would be a good way to raise my car and still look good so that I can run true duals exiting infront of the tire using bullet mufflers. I have an 82 z28 with 350 not cfi.

The best way would be to install a set of new stock height springs. If yours are original, there's a good chance that they've settled so that the car is actually lower than factory even though you have factory springs.

If your installer is worth anything, he can run the duals without having to actually raise the ride height any higher than that.

well my dad has ran this exhaust on his gto and he says it will need raised to be ran like this because there is only like 4 inches between the ground effects and ground. I think this exhaust will sound mean.

it can sound just as mean exiting from the back. camaros are sports cars, not muscle cars. i think it would look goofy jacked up. i would think you can run true duals to the back but if not, and you really want them, lift it.
