Has it been done?



Kinda curious how this works myself... Thought about doing it but ran into the problem of the upstream O2 sensor sitting after the collector. So IF you ran true duals it would only be reading one bank on the O2.
 
I've been thinking about it using Pacesetter headers and O2 in an X or H pipe for something to throw money at. It has been done but no pics that I have seen. 4th gen V6 Fbodies sound so much better with duals, I figure the same rule will apply to our cars but maybe not as nice of a sound do to the unequal lengths from the crossover.
 
Best way to do it would be run the front manifold downward under the motor instead of over the back of the motor.
Collector would be where the cat is on a stock GP. This is where the US O2 sensor would be located.
The collector would have to be quite large like 5 inches or something.
After collector split it back into separate pipes. You could then decide weather or not to run cats/DS O2 sensor.

I disagree. There was one that used to run around here and it sounded like total sh!t.

This would be a total waste of money. Not only will it not sound good but you are adding weight to an already heavy car.
 
In order for it to sound okay I think you would have to make it go from true dual into a single muffler. Also on each pipe have a big glasspack

If it doesn't work I'll replete it when I'm not drunk

im not so sure you'll get any gains out of doing this unless youre looking to be 'original'. and if that is the case you're not because a few people have done it already.

it's not popular for a reason.
 


Doesn't the sound of our engines have something to do with the fact that our engines sit in a transverse manner, not in a longitudinal manner like that Camaro? Or am I totally off base :(
 
correct. you'd have to twist the rear header all over the place if you wanted an equal length setup, which is what you have on a camaro/firebird.
