WTF? Do you read what you type before you hit submit? The last part of that run on, grammar & spelling mistake filled mess doesn’t even make sense. :laugh:

Why 2 mufflers in a 3rd gen? They make so many nice systems that fit the car, why would you want one that doesn’t? :?:

If you want to run dual exhaust, study the pictures found in this thread carefully and decide if that's what you want:

Keep in mind that any exhaust that doesn't exit somewhere under the rear bumper of a 3rd gen is illegal in NJ.

IMO, 'true duals' in 3rd & 4th gen street cars (ie not race cars or super crazy hp setups) is just a 'my nuts are bigger than your nuts' thing. I question if half the ones in that thread help or hurt. And dumps are track only, IMO.

Look at this mess. (you probably need to log in to see it)

And if you must have flowmasters, they make whole kits that fit your car.

go with a stock exhaust and throw a pair of cutouts coming off of your headers! :)

Why don't you just mount a 3" in/out super 40 in the stock location then? It will require a bit of fabbing, but not as much as a completely custom true dual setup.

I know you want true duals, but isn't the mufflex 3.5" + 4" single out systems built with the 40 series race units?

BTW, what set up are you running that you feel you need that much exhaust, or do you just want duals?

another poitn with the whole "true duals" making power myth is that studies have shown that a single pipe actually acts as a scavenger between cyl pulses. a lot of testing shows that a big single provides better/easier packaging in the car and makes as much or more power than a complicated true dual set up.

tru2chevy,,,,what do u mean....pampered-z,,,,nah they make them 3"in and out....i juss want duals on my car i have heard people with one muffler but with dual pipes out the back and ten i have heard people with 2 mufflers and duals out the back and i like the one with 2 mufflers....

you'll actually lose power putting true duals on a stock tpi motor. it creates too little back pressure. i had true duals on a 350 tpi... ran ok, switch to a 2-1-2 system and came alive.

if all you want is a nice exhaust note my first suggestion would be to skip the flowmaster muffler. save yourself the time, money, and effort and get a hooker or magnaflow kit and delete the cat. that will provide a nice tone and more power for far far less money

tru2chevy,,,,what do u mean

If you want the sound of the 40 (instead of the 80 series crossflow) just mount a 40 in the stock location. You just won't have 2 tailpipes....

im just saying, a loud exhaust is gay on the street. A loud exhaust doesnt make a good sounding exhaust, its all about tone. Flow masters are crap, I love my dynomax, but im also going to get a banks catback when i get long tubes..

see flowmaster has the best sound there is..dude if u want a litle rumble and not too be loud i have a video on my myspace page ill send u the link listen to it its not loud at all but it still sounds nice...http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=34671256

loud is gay.

I like loud. I really love how my hooker sounds with the LT's. I hate the loudmouth. (No offense to anyone here who has one, its just my opinion) Its just too raspy....and expensive .... but then again SLP is always expensive.

The Flowmaster 80 series on my 91 sounded decent to me. But I also had edel**** headers with a "test pipe".

Any louder with the 96 and it will be a cop magnet.

flowmaster makes nice kits and they are fairly cheap, but there are a bunch of mufflers that have better tone in my opinion.

Kid Racer

well to me flowmaster is the best...the 40 and teh super 40 are the best too me i juss like the way they sound....i also liek the slp and magnaflow but teh flowmaster still holds number one too me...

i loved my dynomax, till the pipe fell out of the muffler.

oh and the 2000 rpm drone from hell.

i'm going to jump in my gay flowmaster TA now...see ya:mrgreen:

i had flowmaster on my SS, wasnt bad sounded very nice, then i lost a tailpipe, but i still didnt change it. When they repaved my street and messed up my driveway transition, the intermediate pipe fatiuged and broke and i ripped the cat back off completely. I drove around for like 5 months with stock manifolds and an off road y pipe only... lol

I love my dynomax, but im also going to get a banks catback when i get long tubes..I loved the way my Banks sounded. But the muffler split at the weld the week I was selling it. I popped a dynomax muffler in and it sounded almost the same. If you are doing headers, I'd keep what you have.

I've got a loudmouth on my GTP, and it sounds great... aside from the DRONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE on the highway. I'm probably going to cut the I-pipe and put a resonator on it this winter.

Yes, it will quiet it down. That's the point. If you have a really loud exhaust it can get old, fast.

Especially if:

1.) You can't hear your radio
2.) You attract unwanted attention
3.) You look like a poser because you don't have enough motor and the sound comes from all muffler (not that that's true in my case :D)

My exhaust sounds great when I accelerate. The problem is when I'm doing between 75-80 on the highway for a little while. The exhaust note doesn't change much and it gets pretty annoying.
