1981 corvette central dual exhaust
Have any 81 owners purchased and installed the true dual exhaust from corvette central ? If so do you have any pics from underneath ? I just want to be sure it really is bolt on and no mods. Corvette central's site throws me off a bit as they show an image of a cross member with 2 holes for the pipes...our 81's don't have that so I just want to be sure it bolts up and clears....

Quant,
Yea in pulled that as well so I just want to be sure I won't have any clearance issues
The original routes under the pass side with the giant cat...I assume the duals route in that same tight space ...but for 700+ bucks I don't want to assume wrong

Qwank - thank you. I'm going to get the full kit with patriot headers as well.
Unless you recommend a diff set of shorty headers that will bolt to that kit ?
***if *** I swap the original 350 out, I'm putting a zz4 crate in it and that Is compatible with these patriot headers
