If it's an consolation Ccass, I do run the Pypes SGF70 on 2 of my own cars here, and have installed several others. I like the system.

It doesn't appear owners of the earlier 2nd gens have had the issues I experienced, since the fuel and brake lines are in different locations, and they don't use the splitter tips...

I haven't done the later 2nd gens (mine is a 70) and most stuff I get in here is older stuff.
But what I have experienced similar to your splitter tailpipe deal is that the way Pypes configures the tailpipes, they aren't even close to working correctly on my 69 Z/28. They exit in the wrong location, which is too far towards the outside of the car. So they don't line up with the factory indentations under the tail panel pinch welds, and basically try to exit very close to the quarter panel/trunk drop off area. Technically the tail pipes need to come in about 3 inches on each side to be correct. So what I'm doing is taking factory Z/28 tailpipes that have the correct bends and adapting them to the Pypes exhaust system so that it will appear stock when looking at the car from the rear. This takes some fab work but I knew this going in. As far as the rest of the system, it fit great with no issues around the brake or fuel lines. |
