no companies make true duals for 86 firebirds... you would have to get a complete custom job done

first don't go true duals...its a waste on a 350 car let alone a 2.8...second...flowmaster sucks...get any typical bolt-up cat-back and you'll be happy

Yeah, blowmasters are for sound, not performance. It just so happens they're flow better than stock mufflers, then again what doesn't. Straight through designs flow the best and personal, I think they sound the best.
True duals don't work well with a low to the ground vehicle. If you've got 28" tires out back and stock ride height you might not have an issue. Also true duals will make more average horsepower but it's not easy to do on a thirdgen. BTW, you're not talking about true duals on the v6 are you? Cause if so, don't, save for a v8 because no amount of resonable funding is going to get a 2.8 any respect let alone ricer beating performance.

There are lots of cheap ways to make the little 2.8 get out of it's own way.

The only way you'll make a 2.8 fast is by putting it in a 1500lb car.

2.8 and 3.1 are identical in every way except for size. They are just in different places on the timeline for the 60* V6 :)

dont go with flows- get a dynomax cat back- best sound out there imo for a v6 camaro, performs well too- never to a straight pipe like i had on my camaro it gets so annoying
