Dynomax kit Part # 17429 question

[Jaymatic]

Ok, The tech team at Dynomax is being a little difficult when it comes to answering my questions. This kit is 2.5" and is a cat-back kit. Does it come with the S-pipe or connect to the stock S-pipe? If it connects to the stock S-pipe, then I can have a reducer connected to the stock S-pipe so that the S-pipe is 2.5" where it meets with the kit and 2.25" at the catalytic converter side. (This kit was originally meant for the Z-28 and that is why I had to e-mail Dynomax to ask them but they basically did not answer my question)

Yes I could just buy a 2.5" High flow cat but I just dont have the money right now and am dying to order this kit.

Thanks for your info guys, I really appreciate it.
(oh yea, I have a 96 3.8L)

Nobody?? If my question is too confusing just tell me and I can try to reword it.

well man as best as I can tell any catback system for our car is going to connect in the basically right after the s-pipe

here's the deal you got the cat, coming off the cat is the "s-pipe" most people call it that because it's in the shape of an "s". Right after this pipe is what alot of people call the "I" pipe, somepeople call it that because it's in the shape of an "I" but from what I understand in exhaust manunfacturer lingo this is really short for "intermediate" pipe. Anyway there is a joint that connects the "s" pipe to the "I" pipe. This is where your aftermarket catback system should begin. Now since you are buying what I am guessing is an LT1 system you may have to have a joint put in which will bring the diameter of the joint up to a 2.5. That I'm not 100% sure about.

Well I hope this helps.

Exactly. I just wanted to make sure that the system connects to the S-pipe because the connecting point in the picture looks a little weird because it has a bend in it.

You probably ordered a different one. In that link in my previous post, there are like 3 or 4 different Dynomax cat-backs for the camaros/firebirds

I think the one you ordered is the part # 17327, which is also a super turbo kit but with 3" pipes and a 3" offset inlet dual 3" outlet muffler.
