so if i want a really quiet muffler on one side and a loud one on the otherside would that be possible? id get my a$$ handed to me by johnny law by having a straight pipes, but i really want to be able to cruise with without going deaf, also if not possible do you get any gain on turbo charged systems by having a cutout?

Is it safe to simply release hot exhaust directly underneath the car?

Correct me if im wrong but are you asking if you can be 50/50?
How it works is both diverters work with each other in sync. However, if you want to open it only 5%, (which usually sounds rediculously cool by the way) then leave it there. if you feel even a little bit more is ok with out getting in trouble give it a little more. With our controller you can even program your favorite SWEET SPOT with the middle button- just push and hold it for 3 seconds - similar to an FM radio preset. Then if you need that perfect "barely legal" tone you love just hit the middle button and it goes exactly back there. To keep the cars engine and computer happy though we want equal pressure on each side so both diverters do the same thing at the same time. |

i was refering to having 2 seperate mufflers like the stock one (or quieter) and a loud one like a flowmaster 40 series on the other side and go one side to the other. or does the partial opening still keep sounds under control

I guess the better question would have been, can it damage anything or cause any long term problems? There has to be a reason why all (stock) cars release exhaust away behind the vehicle...

Technicly speaking the main reason to dump exhaust in the back is to prevent excessive fumes from entering the cabin. Legaly all exhaust must clear the cabin.

More than likely the diverter is going to be right at the front edge of the back tire and the loud open exhaust will be directed either straight back or turned down and out at 45 degree angles. This is approximately where we install on the C5 Z06 and it works amazing back there. |

Sorry for all the questions, but I would definitely consider something like this in the new Camaro. |

To keep weight down and keep it simple i would try without first- then add second muffler if it 'needs' it. It really is adjustable though. Like a volume knob you can keep bumping it. |

It does, but sometimes with engineered floor pans we have limited options. With the 5gallon bucket sized mufflers on this car - im guessing alot of sound is getting back there that they are trying to supress. The cats and resonators are usually very high flowing on these hp cars.
If there is room though- the front is better |

Only on a race car because they dont have insulation or weatherstripping and often times have holes for the shifter or cage that let the fumes in.
