New exhaust setup opinions
#11
That's a hard question to answer because I did a complete rebuild motor exhaust transmission rear end gears all at the same time but under normal upgrades i would say more than likely about 30-45 hp total with long tubes y-pipe and cat back (with no cats) that's my opinion maybe another board member could give you a better answer.

I have custom true duals on my car. My headers have 3" exits, no cats, then it goes down to 2.5" pipe with a Magnaflow X-pipe, then it's 2.25" pipes over the the axle to the muffler, then 2.5" outlets. Headers were $285, I found the X-pipe off ebay for $75, O2 extensions were about $30 or so, and I think the rest of the work was somewhere around $600 or something like that.

just dropped the Camaro off at the shop this morning to take care of the exhaust issues. It was actually completely painless, didn't have any problem. They were pretty understanding with the complaints I had and how to go about correcting them. I was pretty surprised.
Well since the car was up on the lift, I was able to get some pics of the way it looks now:

A guy on LS1tech built his own true duals, and they turned out pretty sweet. This is what I gave the shop when I took the car back to get the exhaust fixed:

fyi- an off road y pipe deletes the cat.
Pacesetter ceramic coated long tubes
ORY
Magnaflow system
major benefits- you can change spark plugs a heck of a lot easier as well as drop the tranny without dealing with the exhaust.
yeh the added power is a plus but spark plug access is worth it.

the guy made this setup himself. If I were you, I would take these pictures to shops and get estimates on getting something similar built. If you want an X-pipe, I recommend looking around for one. A shop would get one directly from Magnaflow, which would cost $150+. I found mine on ebay for $75. The guy aborted his project and never used it.
