My summit hat was all messed up. Bill was on crooked. Hows yours?

sorry for the blurry picture.

That's the first set of exhaust parts for the Berlinetta.

NICE! It looked like they were big u-bolts....

You going dual muff?

Quasi-Traction · Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 11:18 am Post subject:

Yeah, I'm going for true duals, no cat. Basically the two pipes are going to parallel each other down the chassis, routed the same way the factory single pipe would.

Chris,

What mufflers are those?

iansane · Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 11:36 am Post subject:

Dynomax Bullets?

Do you have an example to work from? Might get tight around the panhard bar being that a single 3" has to be crushed a little to get in there.

I want to see someone do this.

Tight? Yes. Crushed? No.

I assume from the sounds of it that he will be running a true dual setup like Paul (Twilightoptics) did for his car and for mine. Dual 3" with both pipes up and over the rear axle on the passenger side.

when did cheezy have that car? He's had the transam for a while ya?

Dewey316 · Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 12:24 pm Post subject:

Cheezy has always had the transam, when he did his dual exauast, on the drivers side, he ran the exuast under the axle.

The white camaro in that pictures, is Pauls, you can see paul ran them both over the axle on the pass side.

Not to nitpick but I thought cheezy had a formy?

blue89 · Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 1:03 pm Post subject:

cool cool. I got a little confused. Cheezy still has a Red TransAm. The above picture is Pauls. My bad. lol.

I wish he posted more. He pretty much dissappeared for the winter. I usually see him (cheezy), Dan, and droptop on my Canada circuit tour. But I haven't done that in a while either.

Yeah, I wish the canadians were more active. Rich posts a lot, it is nice to have the boys up north around.

(You know, they are all crazy, it adds an interesting element to cruises. Wink

looks pretty good chris, so i guess you ditched the whole temporary exhaust idea and decided to do it right the first time. Let me know how it all goes, I'm planning on putting a set up pretty much exactly like that eventually. Still need the $$

To answer everyone's questions:

Ian/John: no, not dynomax bullets, just cheapo Summit glaspacks.

Others: I bought flanges that to bring it down to 2 1/2" right where they bolt to the headers. So its going to be true 2 1/2" duals with no crossover pipe.

I got under there today and tried to get a rough visual for how to mount the mufflers. i can mount them at about a 20 degree angle, right in the spot where the cathelitc converter sat, and basically tuck both the pipes close to the stock locations.

here's basically what I"m thinking it's going to look like

Check out "Shaddow_wolf" and his black camaro. that's kind of what I'm going for. He put his mufflers further back, mine will be up where the cat is. I think I might weld a piece of thin round stock to both the outer core of them to keep them "paired" Together.

Yikes. That dude went super wide!

Quasi-Traction · Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 4:29 pm Post subject:

there was another one that I really thought looked clean....I can't find the post though.....its Ideally what I'd like it to look like, but I'm not that optimistic, lol!
