I seem to remember a brief mention about changing the trans cross member to be able to use the dual setup, I want to do this and i know Iwill have to move the compressor to the front and about that does anyone have pics of the later compressor setup in the front. thanks

Make sure to look ar rhe heat shield setup on factory dual (LT1) Wagons. These are important because of the plastic gas tank. If the car is used as a driver, the heat will harden the tank and make it prone to crack.

I want to run duals on My CC also. What I plan to do is ditch the stock compressor all together and buy a aftermarket one and put it where the 3rd seat would be when i remove it. Then I will install rear helper air bags and will retain the auto level system if I can.

If you want to run duals I have heard that you need to get a 94-96 Wagon gas tank. The gas tank on 94-96 wagons is 1 gallon smaller than 91-93 tanks becasuse the left side of the tank is reduced to fit the heat shield and the muffler on that side. You might be able to still route the pipe. There might some people who have did this. Mabey it will work.

You gotta find a new one or buy a new one from GM. Hopfully a new tank wont be alot. I plan on going that method.

BTW Wagon exhaust pipes are routed different than Sedan pipes. The pipes on the wagon are the same as the sedan up to the rear end. After that you need to do some custom work to get the piped over the rear end and to the far sides of the body.

Look under the wagon. You will noticed that the crossmember is bent for the pipe on the right but the left side is straight across.

On my wagon I can see the bolts for the exhaust brackets there on the left side. I assume you can buy OEM hangers from a dealer.

Now. If I only had time to do all this.
In the summer when im back from school there will be alot of work to do!!!

Has anyone run the exhaust out the side ahead of the right rear wheel so as to not have to go over the axle???? I thought about this and said the soud should be different also. but I think headers hig fow cat and 3" is going to be the way for now this is getting to be to much, thanks

I think Draggin wagon has side pipes on his wagons. Ive seen side pipes on a few wagons.

The blunt shape of the Wagon rear end makes it suceptable to suck in CO from the exhaust if the pipes exit in a non-stock location. This becomes important if you do a lot of highway driving or transport kids in the back.

Bob, thanks for the info. My kids are in the back often so that is a big concern for me.

No need to remove the 3rd seat. Just stick it behind either the driver or passenger side rear cargo panel.

Threeimpalas. Does the comopressor fit in the cavern on the left side? I really donot want to remove my spare.

 

[Guest]

That's where I have the compressor for my airbag system located.

 

[Guest]

Threeimpalas, where do you have the reserve tank located?? and if so how large???

I've got a 3 gallon tank and my solenoids mounted on a board attached to the spare tire bracket. I don't carry a spare since there is no way I'd be able to get the old tire off and the new one on on the side of the road.
