not sure exactly about the kits but im running true duals str8 from the manifolds(sbo 350). I had a shop do it....
duals on sbo w/stock manifolds..whos got em?

theres one shop i might use...but he is shady and im just not too sure about his work. I may rig up a temp system so I can drive it to a reputable shop and have them finish it. the crossover is not an issue, thats plugged up.Mathematic said:
Pypes X-pipe system with the downpipes. The downpipes are made to fit the older ( pre cat converter ) style passenger side manifold though. Yes, they'll fit in a G-body.
ok...show me...lol, cause Ive looked and all I see is dual cat back systems or header back for gbodys...part number, website would be great too! thanks!DoubleV said:

Google Pypes exhaust and you'll get the website.
They have the header back kits listed for G-bodies but you'll have to also click on the Downpipes section to see the listing for Olds engines.

If you look at the bottom of the page they have down pipes for mani's. Check it out, I love the system I got from pypes. I acually bought the system from Jegs, saved a little bit of money, cheaper shipping.

http://www.pypesexhaust.com/downpipes.html These look like they might work, but the website says they are for a chebby Gbody. The only ones I see for an olds are for a early model 442.Blue86Monte said:

All G-body's are the same. Don't worry about it. Their downpipes for Olds are listed for 64-77 A-bodys but fit on 78-88 G-bodys so....
No worries.... but, although all G-bodys are the same, engines and manifolds are not. Different manifolds can present mounting issues. For instance, the drivers side manifold on a SBO points straight down and when mounted on the engine, actually point back towards the front of the car slightly, since this pipe was a crossover. But, a real 442 had dual manifolds and the drivers side manifold pointed out at a slight angle. So the down tubes must be made to convert non dual exhaust manifolds into a dual exhaust system. Looking at the pipes for the 64-77 A-bodys, they wont work without the correct manifold. The chebby pipes are bent correctly so they might be the better choice. I contacted Pypes and they said that the SGG10S system would work on the Gbody w/an SBO. Down pipes, 130.00,... headerback system, 480.00... shipping 100.00..installation..?....So, once I refinance the house, I'll buy them.... :shock:DoubleV said:

Not sure where you're getting your information from, but you need a new source. :wink: 442's did not come with manifolds that were any different from standard model Cutlasses. There were NO dual exhaust specific exhaust manifolds for SBO unless you include some year Toronado's.
To make manifolds work with a true dual system, you just need to cap off the inlet on the passenger side manifold. That's it.
You think Chubby downpipes will fit on an Olds motor? You need the OLDS downpipes and even then you have to have the older non cat converter style passenger side exhaust manifold for them to work ( the #4 manifold ).
Pypes is trying to rip you off. I bought my downpipes from Jegs who price matched them. They were $109. The X-pipe header back system costs less than $400. Jegs shipping is very cheap. You need to search around to find a better deal, and I'd start with Jegs. I'd call back Pypes and ask them why they're trying to overcharge you just to let them know you're aware they're trying to screw you over....
