Re: Dual exhaust

i have dual 3" exhaust on my '84 and it is all custom...the biggest thing about doing dual exhuast on a 4X4 is getting (in chevy's case) over the transfer case....with the 3" inch it basically meant that i had to make a few trips to the exhaust shop....and then the reducers i also had the exhaust shop make.... i think where the exhaust goes over the transfer case only clears by about 1/2 an inch....but i've had it on for almost 2 years now without any problems.....other than breaking one hanger due to the motor torquing...but as far as i know...i don't believe they make a kit for dual exhaust on a 4X4 of that body style...the bends to go over the transfer case have to be pretty drastic...

the other thing i would suggest.....don't put 3" in/outlet Cherry Bombs or Glass Packs on dual 3" unless youi really like a loud truck....i've been told you can hear mind running at about 1,000rpms from about 2 miles away....


if you want some pics i can try taking some this weekend
