Dual Exhausts on my buick.....HOW?

i know there are guys on the board that are running dual exhausts on their buicks. i have been trying to figure out how it's done. i took my car to a local muffler guy and said he would charge me some serious cash AND in order to run dual exhausts i would need to cut a whole in the frame because of clearance issues on the driver's side. i have looked under the car and it seems like everything is situated on the driver's side like fuel tank etc. can somebody please shed some light on this subject for me?

thanks,
travis

 

What year Buick is it? I know there were a lot of issues when i was thinking of running duals on my '55 Olds, but i decided to just slap a cherry bomb on the exhaust and keep it a single, makes it LOUD and it's different then duals (which everyone and their mother has).

 

I cut an oval hole in the frame to get the pipe around the master cylinder on my 54 Buick Special convert.

 

sorry it's a 55 buick century 2d HT.

 

i'm running a single smithy on mine but it's way to quiet. i'm thinking of going to the old cherry bomb myself

 

Check out Kanter.com They should have what you need for a bolt on job. And information on how and where to run em. A shop manual is always a good thing to have also. Check out e-bay for one. Take care

 

thanks clloyd, i just checked out kanter but all they carry are single exhuasts. but thanks for the heads up!

There was no dual exhaust for the '55 Buick, there is no bolt on for it. You have to cut a hole in the frame to accomplish it. '56 was the first year for duals on a Buick...

 

Maybe you could do something like this. Although it was done on a ford frame you get the ideal since you have a crossover anyway.

 

Any competent muffler shop should be able to dual it to the rear bumper for under $500 ... find a shop that still has a really old guy working there so it'll be done right ...

 

run the pipes side by side on right side into a duel chamber single can flowmaster till you reach a point that you can take the left side over. my friend Rattso did this on my 86 Ford Ranger. sounds great.

 

thanks for the help everyone. i'm alreay making plans to cut a hole through the frame.
