Hi all, It took me some time to begin this true-duals project, but now it is finished and I've made some pics to share with the group. What do you think??? - Coming out of the pre-cats are first pipes from the SHO-shop's Y-pipe. From there and to the very back it's a custom job.  - It was a PITA to get these pipes around all the corners   -  - I had the mufflers installed at a slight angle, I think it worked just fine

They have SVT Contours in Russia?  How does it sound/perform? It looks like those mandrel bends are bottlenecking it a little bit IMO

Wow that looks nice. I like the way the dual tips look in the back.

Yes, there are 2 (two) SVTs in Russia. One is at a salvage yard, another is mine. It is one hellova car to maintain, but everything is great.
About the bends - I think they are OK. the piping is 2 times 2.5 inches, that's twice as much as a standard exhaust. Plus all the parts are straight-flowing, so there's minimum resistance.

Sergey, good work, but you should have not put in mufflers at the back. Should have had them where the original resonator stood, and then you would have straight pipes from there... But, anyways, good work.

HWCM - yeah, a car is pretty expensive around here, especially an imported rare one  The only good thing is that gas is cheap, very cheap. But a lot of people get along pretty well, and the internet is cheap....
