Forces Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I finally started her up today. After all the set backs and BS I went through, it was all worth it. Still have a long way to go though. No interior, no exhaust, and no rear lights. among other things. The exhaust I think is gonna be an issue. I am in the middle now of relocating the oil filter so the d/s pipe doesn't get in the way of changing the oil. *EDIT* Any one have any advice on routing for dual exhaust?? I've seen plenty of cars on this sight with a single 3" pipe, but not many with dual. There is still a lot of work to be done, as you can see, but I'm making progress.

deja Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Here's the way I did it. I used oval tube. That is a sweet exhaust setup, never knew they made oval pipe. Damn dude, those are some monster tires you have on the rear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primadonna z Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 wonderful work. I have never seen oval tubing. It looks awesome.Ferd It's quite expensive, and difficult to work with but I needed the ground clearance. Pretty much like building a 12 foot long set of headers. You fabricate all directional changes from per-bent radiuses that you purchase. You can't bend the oval tubing. Then butt weld your joints. Here's a link to Spintech http://www.spintechmufflers.com/ I finished up with Aeroturbine mufflers (offical muffler of NASCAR). Loud, but sounds great.

Pop N Wood Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hooker makes a muffler with dual inlets and a single outlet. That is how I plan to run duals and still use a single muffler in the stock location. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=HOK%2D21510HKR&N=700+400390+4294922710+4294906128+115&autoview=sku We will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Here's my dual 2.5" setup with an 'x' pipe exiting on either side of a fuel tank from an F-body LS1. More pic's: http://mysite.verizon.net/bzandbergen/Exhaust.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up with dual "turbo" muffers ahead of the rear axel and dul tail pipes coming out at the stock location. Its loud but sounds pretty mean. I don't have the "X" pipe but plan on installing one diring the LT1 swap. http://www.dejavideo.net/280z8/280z8-sound.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
