first off... its NOT for an f-body. Its for the Monte SS. My gf wants one soon so now I gotta figure out how to set it up. Right now the exhaust is as follows...edelbrock TES headers to a single 3" cat. then splits to 2 seperate pipes(2.5") that run along the driveshaft and each goes to a seperate muffler then the tailpipes exit behind each rear tire.
I do NOT see the point of installing 2 seperate 2.5" cutouts, its not worth the cost, so dont bother suggesting it, lol. The flanges to the catalytic convertor is the only place where the 2 pipes merge into one so theres no other common pipe to weld a cut out into. I was thinking, could i get away with putting a single 2.5" cutout right after the cat in just one of the 2 pipes. That would give my GF the sound increas at the flip of a switch she wants and would MAYBE add a little power if any, mainly for the sound though.. what you guys think?
