Wow, talk about lousy exhaust!
 

I removed the dual exhaust on the SS396 today and I thought it was 2.5" pipes but it was 2-1/4" with many kinks, crimps and lousy bends. This thing is gonna breath with the 3" dual exhaust! Looks like there is plenty of room for the 3" tailpipes.

Soundclips....

screw putting the new exhaust on now, just leave it as is!

Nothin but open headers right now, I'm still waiting for the rest of the 3" dual exhaust to show up.

straight pipes gets old quicker than you'd think

I know that. :-? :lol:

Next winter project...

The 3 inch systems we tryed needed a balance pipe to get the flow correct -- but every ones set up is different -- the early ford 427 big blocks were the first to imploy the balance system and the pipe diams were 2 1/2 -- its all in the exhaust timing we have had race cars that were faster with mufflers ( bullet type see through ) than racing with open hedders -- jz

The red 79 355 SBC camaro you sat in here at 8000 at the traps has never gotten old hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa -- jz

i recognize that car ;) i think it hates me... or maybe the driver does :lol:

exactly. Sound clips. :twisted:

X-pipe system?

Nope, true dual setup. I think it's easier to troubleshoot potential problems with each side separated. H pipes and X pipes help balance and reduce overall noise along with a little boost in power/torque, but I'm not racing the car so it's not really needed right now.
