Oval Exhaust??
 

I have a 67 Camaro with about 3-4 inches ground clearance to the frame. I would like to update my exhaust to a 3.5" oval system with a x-pipe, quieter mufflers and tailpipes.
I currently run a 540 BBC with 3" H-pipe to flowmaster mufflers and no tailpipes. Its way to loud!

Anyone have any experience with the oval tubing?
I would appreciate seeing some pics

Thank You

Mike, Dr. Gas has just what you need:

I sure like mine so far. :thumbsup:

Pro Fab in Charlotte NC has a bunch of stainless oval they use on stockcars.

I have Spintech as well.

I called up Dave at Spintech and said "Listen, I need a 3" exhaust for a 68 Camaro. I want an X-Pipe, I have 3.5" collectors, I want oval tubing, and I have Air Ride, but I want full tailpipes. Oh, and I have no idea what parts I need to buy."

He responded by slowly rattling off every part number and quantity we would need and then putting together an order. I suggest you do the same. Be sure to say that Steve at Twist Machine referred you so that you get the same treatment. He was very patient and thorough. Note that this is for a full custom system. There is no such thing as an off the shelf oval system. Dr. Gas is a great bunch of people as well. And they are the originators of the X-pipe.

My experience with Dr Gas is also very positive. I spoke with them (Dave I think) and said I needed help with some custom bends so my x-pipe would fit well in my vert and they came through with flying colors. Phase II will be Steve's approach (thanks, Steve).

Dang that is tight and clean

whens your car gonna be done?

We have been selling Spintech. Be warned which mufflers you buy. We have it on Jagarangs Firebird, and it si LOUD!, I mean Holy s--t loud! And a bit of a drone too. So we are going to be making some changes. The stuff saves space, no doubt, just order bigger muffler then you think you need.

For reference, on Kevins car we are using the mufflers they show video of a Yellow.

If everything goes as planned:_paranoid It should be done by SEMA.

I will do that.

Excellent information everyone, THANK YOU!!

I know its not going to be cheap, but its the only route I can see at this time.
Ive done some research and was disappointed to find out they do not manufacture a oval 90 degree elbow that bends up. For example a 90 degree elbow that would go over the rear axle in oval the horizontal way. They only make 90 degree oval elbows that turn out sideways.

which sema?? lol just kidding, thats cool i bet you cannot wait:unibrow:

SEMA '08 :P

You're on the right track. You'll buy some straight pipe and mufflers, obviously. You will also by some 45's and 90's to make tailpipes. Getting around the gas tank is the beyotch. And then get a different type of 45 to make the x-pipe.

Also collector round to oval adapters.

Spintech hand made mine,they are very nice but not cheap!

Here's them Spintech part numbers for our 68 Big Block Camaro with Air Ride. Figure on using the same pieces for a Quadra-Link:

3530TR 3.5" to 3.0" Collector Round to Oval Transition -2
XVL3 3" Oval X-Pipe
3045VL 3" oval x 45 degree elbows -4 (for X pipe I believe)
3045VLX 3" oval x 45 degree -4 (for tailpipe fabrication)
3090VLX 3" oval x 90 degree -4 (for tailpipe fabrication)
4991-3 3" oval Pro Shootout Mufflers -- Extra loud and obnoxious in an ear splitting sorta way (not my car) -2
30VL40 40" sections of 3" oval straight tubing -4 Should be more that enough for headpipe, X pipe and tailpipe fabrication.

Spent about $1000 (not my money) ENJOY!!
