True Dual Exhaust

[rhummer37]

You guys know where I can find a good True Dual Exhaust system for my 97 Firebird?

Do you want it to exit under the bumper or before the axle?

Under the bumper. I was hoping to be able to find a kit, but it looks like my best option would be to cut and assemble myself, which is alright except for the fact that I don't have any welding experience.

I originally thought Flowmaster would have a kit I could put together, clamp down, and then take to a muffler shop to have them welded together. Flowmaster doesn't advertise having any true dual exhaust kits made for anything later than a late-70's model F-Body.

its very hard to run true duals on our car, u can do it, but its just more expensive then doing a good 3" cat back, and unless some1 looks under ur car, they wont kno its not a dual exhuast cuz of the twin tips

I was trying to go for optimum performance.

On a setup around 500hp there is really no need for anything over a single 3" catback.

If you plan on hitting 700 or 800+ HP you can switch to a single 4" catback. Mufflex makes a good one that a couple members here are using.

True duals are pretty much a custom install, but can be done without too much trouble. The problem you run into is clearance between the rear suspension, specifically the panhard bar. You can buy a kit that slightly relocates the panhard mount to make more clearance for the true dual exhaust. I saw a post on here just recently with pictures of the kit installed.

Here is some info on exhaust clearance, 4" mufflex and some other stuff.
