  • Edlebrock Exhaust Question (Just got it in the mail)

    Hey all, I know that this topic has been hit hard, so forgive me. The question I have, though, is what should I do about the small s shaped pipe right after the catalytic converter? I have a new 3' high flow catco cat, and I have the edlebrock 97 exhaust. I noticed that my car has that small pipe, but that the catback exhaust kit from edlebrock did not. What is the best way to go about this? Thanks.

      No LS1 designed catback comes with the S pipe, many for our cars don't either!

        Thanks for the replies, guys. Sorry to say, but I can't spend 70 on that adaptor kit... the exhaust shop will just have to get it to fit, but I know that they can, they did work on my old 95' mustang exhaust, and while not the best that I have seen, it was functionally well done, and very cheap too. Thanks!

            Justin, when you get the money, go with the two 45 degree bends(less restrictive) for around 40 bucks. Click the S pipe link in my sig for more info.

              Shortdog, thanks for the help, just a quick question though. Would two of them be the correct lateral distance to fit the space alloted?Also, Not to say that you are wrong, but it just seems like 40 bucks in a lot to pay for a small s pipe that the place will bend for $5, even if it isn't mandrel bent...

                It'll work. The muffler shop will have to cut both of em down and maybe a lil off your I pipe to make it fit. 40 bucks is alot cheaper than the $70 S pipe from SLP.com. They're mandrel bent also. The 2.5" pipes are cheaper, but since you have a 3" system, you'll be better off coughin up the extra 20 bucks total for both. If you decide to get it, make sure you get TWO pieces.

                    I got the Edlebrock Catback exhaust for a 93-97 firebird/camaro from Summit Racing. $280.00, free shipping. It was edlebrock catalogue number #5658, at Summit the code is EDL-5658. I love the free shipping.

                    Shortdog, thanks for all the help. I just got enough money to buy the TWO mandrel bent 3' ninety degree bends. So as soon as those come in the mail, I am heading up to the exhaust shop to get them to put it on. As soon as it is on, I will put on a quick 500 miles (Yes, I drive a lot), And I will report back on what I think of it and how it sounds...

                    P.S. Just a question, but would it be worth it to buy a 3' pipe, and have them cut out the 2.5 inch I-pipe section, and replace it with the three inch?
