Wow thanks for that! I really appreciate that! Keep us updated on your 86!

Just found your channel recently. Those varex mufflers work well for that mild to wild sound. I have a buddy with a cammed LS3 vette, he had a dual mode exhaust system and its the best of both worlds, With the LS3 it's perfect. He like how it worked on his vette so much he got a varex for his daily driver, Saturn ion redline. Worked well on that too. Sound good. Loving the video's. Keep up the good work.

Dang bro you did a great job. Ya I wouldn't be worried to much about it being a bad restriction you still have plenty of flow. And damn that sounds great thats some big pipe!! You get to hear the whine when it's quiet and a nice rumble when it's open. Great job.

I have the 3" true dual on my 2000 Camaro and I agree with you. It's awful lol. Way too loud and scrapes on everything. I personally would never put 3" dual on an LS1 Camaro. It's way too big for the engine. 2-1/2" would be ideal but the previous owner put it on there. It probably out performs the stock setup but leaves power and torque on the table vs a 2-1/2" dual system. I really hope to change it in the future but the only 2-1/2" true dual I can find is made by Hooker and waaaay over priced. It's crazy how many companies make a stainless 3" true dual exhaust for $400-$600 dollars then Hooker makes a 2-1/2" system that inevitably costs them less to make but they charge almost $1,100 for it. Shame on you Hooker.

I get crazy drone in 6th at around 72 mph which I think is around 1700 rpms but what I hate the most is the ground clearance and I cannot for the life of me get it to stop banging. I've adjusted it about 15 times and it always settles back into an annoying tick. I could tack weld it but I'm afraid I'll do that and end up with the same result. It's got to go this winter. Back to a single 3'.

Does the varex kill power when its not opened up?

I am sure you could sell off all the 4” exhaust parts to the younger generation…the 4” was way way too big for the engine anyway….most street engines need some back pressure to perform correctly. I have the Magna flow 3” stainless steel set up with dual cat’s from stock manifolds to exhaust tip….is loud enough

Choking down to a single 3" is horrible for flow and backpressure. Single 3" is only good for ~370hp. Dual 2" is the same as single 3", with dual 2.5 the same as single 3.5 and dual 3 the same as single 4.25. The former is good for around 500HP, and the latter is good for ~700. There's an exhaust size calculator out there on a site called "mk5cortinaestate" but apparently, youtube doesn't want me to link that site since they shadow-deleted my last comment. Either way, I love the sound of an equal length, properly matched 2-1 performance Y-pipe like this setup otherwise WOULD be with the right size muffler, plus you get the simplicity of ordering fewer parts and having less weight and less crap to fiddle with. (it's also part of the reason I prefer single turbos, single subwoofers in my audio systems, and a midbass+wideband for my front stage in my audio setups. Also part of why I prefer coupes over sedans, lol)

Crap, forgot to mention the Helmholtz resonator. You can install a specifically tuned length of capped off pipe shortly after each header that will eliminate all drone. You do it by finding what frequency resonates the loudest at whatever your "troublesome" RPM range is, then you use a calculator to find the 1/4 wave resonance and basically weld on a pipe that's that long with a capped end. Doesn't matter what shape the pipe is, as long as it's not too small in diameter and doesn't have any weird constrictions in it.
