Exhaust - Sorry about the novel inside

[acrbill]

That has to be Bushurs car. I remember him starting to do work on it and he is also in Ohio. Its a shame he ditched the project as he is real good at what he does.

Is this car sterling grey? if so i think the car used to belong to the guy that owns Buscher racing. he had a few threads that were on modular ford about it. he built the stainless y-pipe back with a single muffler and i remember him putting a 2010 v-6 bumper insert on it as well. it has been about a year, but i think thats the car.

It is.

What makes you think it is a bottleneck?

Two pipes into one..when they come from the factory with 2 outlets

For the exhaust..I would get the JPC over-axle pipes from lethalperformance..they will bolt directly to your GT500 mufflers and get you to where the factory H-pipe normally terminates...then get an xpipe modified to fit between the headers and the JPC pipes

Flawed thinking. If the diameter of the single pipe is enough to support the HP level, it is not a bottleneck. The 4th Gen. LSx Camaros/Firebirds seem to do fine with a y-pipe.

The answer I was really looking for was a dyno comparison. Unless one has been done, no one can definitively say one way or another. To the best of my knowledge, this hasn't been done with this setup.

Buschur put it on the dyno.

"337whp and 304wtq with 93 octane fuel, after exhaust the car put down 354 and 314 ft lbs and did it three runs in a row, no cool down. After tune it went to 383whp."

That is not a direct comparison with a LT setup with dual exhaust. That is what we are looking for here however the numbers are in-line with a dual exhaust setup with LT's.

Irregardless, I like the single exhaust idea quite a bit.

I do too, especially for a single turbo, however this particular setup is stupid loud and really raspy. I like the sound out of my stock exhaust with GT500's out back. That's where the dilemma is, but yea, it looks really cool with the single.
