just got the truck running to night and was thikin bout exhaust.

what did u guys use for a dual exhaust kit from headers back

manufactuer and what kinda mufflers and what engine ur running , i am running a 305 so what ever u guys with 305's used

**crossy** · 04-18-2004, 10:21 PM

the cheapest good kit I have seen and used is from HEARTBEAT or HEARTHROB ??? anyway the kits were sold by JCwhitney and full 2-1/4" with nice mandrel bends was only $119 w/o mufflers. I think hooker or hedman (one of the header comps.??) sells the same type. DAVE

Hooker sells them, that's what i had on my C10. top notch stuff. comes with hangers, clamps and everything. you supply the mufflers.

highboy_04 · 04-19-2004, 12:52 AM

you dont need no mufflers.

loweredd · 04-20-2004, 12:25 AM

The hooker kit is 2 1/4 though......blah!

I agree.

wait till you see What I have been working on for YOU GUYS. a complete 3" system all the way back with 'X' pipe and way cheap for the quality. Italked to the guys at Englishtown and I am waiting for them to post pics on their website. I am also waiting to see if these monsters can be shipped around the country. They took me very seriously when i taked to them about the amount of business these might generate . they already make the 'X' pipes in 2.5 and 3 inch,but are hashing out the tailpipes.

Good job Dave! Wait, how soon?

**crossy** · 04-20-2004, 02:05 AM

nuf said for now, waiting to see if they can ship.

I've heard alot about the x pipe....

Is there suppose to be an advantage to these...?

Russell · 04-20-2004, 10:42 AM

Yeah, it helps to equalize the exhaust much like an H-pipe, but it is much more effecient, and the exhaust equalizes completely, unlike an H-pipe.

How much does that pictured exhaust setup run at? Thats identical to what I want!

MylilBowTie · 04-20-2004, 01:36 PM

Are these setup for headers? Let me know if you find out anymore information about these.

C&C Chevy · 04-20-2004, 04:05 PM

ttt, I'd be interested!

I've got an X pipe on my truck. It helps balance the back pressure and helps pull the exhaust out faster. Translation- better HP and torque wih the system. I have pics on my old website in my sig. Once day I'll take out the system and take pics.
