So while my Trans Am has been down waiting for optispark to get rebuilt, I continued considering my exhaust.
I havent been happy with it for a while, so I was going to rebuilt the Y, and call it a day, but one of my coworkers (builds dirt track cars) said he would fab up a true dual system for me.
Anyways, being an engineer, I got under there and took tons of measurements, both from the car and the existing exhaust. I then got on ProE and built a solid model to see what bends and pipe lengths I would need, and also to test fit everything, so we can mock it up faster.
So I finally finished up.
The system is basically a clone of the Kooks 3" system for the LS1 F-bodies, BUT I used 2.5" pipe and the mufflers are sweet thunders 18" long, and of course my FLP headers use a Vband flange.
Here are the results
