Thought you exhaust experts would get a kick out of this pic. original 1983 Z28 exhaust. I think the word is "very restrictive". But it looks good and sounds great! I ordered the car new in 1983. Needless to say I will never part with it.

weird does the exhaust run on the passenger side? Thats what it looks like

 

Yea, it is a interesting design. There is a single pipe coming out of the cat and the it splits into 2 smaller pipes near the rear axle. Thoses 2 smaller pipes go over top the axle and then into the center of the pipe between the mufflers. I will try to get some more pictures tomorrow.

it came on 82-83 cars only i belive...Kinda like the C5 has with the dual mufflers. Not sure on 84 cars... but by 85 they went to the one muffler system..

 

My 82 Z-28 LG4 4 speed had that exhaust. The intermediate pipe splits into two 1-3/4" pipes after the converter, then tees into a pipe connecting the two mufflers. Sounded good for a stock system, but seemed very restrictive.

 

yup I've got that on my 82. Theirs a hole in the driver side muffler. I am willing to part with it. Flowmster or hooker is going to replace it.

 

My exhaust was like that...Now its in pieces!

 

more pics...

thats an interesting little setup they had there, i remember seeing it before from the back in someone else's pic, but i never noticed the inlet. weird, but cool.

 

Hmmm, that last picture reminds me of the factory t... err I mean y-pipe.

 

Well, the 84's are like the 85"s.

Just for clarification, do you mean part with the car or the exhaust?

 

Actually i was referring to the car. But I see no point in changing the exhaust until it rusts out. My stock '83 LG4 won't beat many cars today even with a new exhaust. At this point I'd rather leave things original than try to hop it up. There are a lot of fast cars out today. It is really fun to drive! It has been a great car.
