Lt1 true dual dumps

Well i tried making my own dumps and it was an epic fail. Sits way to close to the ground, but it sounds good. Anybody know of a good exhaust shop that can make me up a tight fitting exhaust? Or is there a kit i can piece together? Any input would be great.

you need to rig hangars near the end to support things.

Is the only reason you went 3" is to match your collector size?

I think the point they are getting to is that a single 3" can support over 500hp. dual 2.5 can support considerably more than that. And a 3" true dual is for cars making like 800+ hp. Having that much flow will actually hinder performance on less powerful engines.

Pretty damn good actually. We tucked them up nice when we did them. Having an aftermarket torque arm helped significantly. Car was stock height...
