"True Dual" exhaust question
has anyone tried the "true dual" exhaust from Corvette Central? I'm wondering about the quality of the pipe.

I have true dual piping on my car but i took it off to run open headers. True dual makes the car louder and better acceleration, I saw a slight increase maybe 5-10% in gas mileage whether its because of the new pipes I have no idea but they were very clogged. If you do get true dual go ahead and gut out the converter if you dont have a smog check. If you still want more sound you can run straight headers like me

It's aluminized steel so it should provide a good long life. Not as good as stainless obviously but not nearly the price either. I think these look like good systems for the money.

I have the similar system in ss from Mid America, which I later adapted to my long tube headers and then added a magnaflow true-x pipe. The pipes aren't the best but they're ok for the price.
If you go with one of these systems, consider adding a 2 1/4" magnaflow true-x pipe which are available for around $75. It should fit with some minor tweaking of the center distance.

Yep, that is the set of pipes I've been looking at as well. I think the H pipe in the center will help resonance, and balance the system. Of course anything can beat my stock 88 exhaust. However I do have frowmasters on it. Man, the precats, and main cat are almost rusted away. A set of 2.25" pipes, and flowmasters should give me a horsepower increase, I'm thinking around maybe 20. Of course I am playing with my intake, and valve train to flow the extra air for the pipes to evacuate. I'm hoping for the best. When you get yours done let me know. I am very interested... Thanks...
