Thread: Can SE's have dual exhaust even if they have a 3.8L V6 or is it only the GT's

GTs and GTPs only have dual, SEs don't stock

my 95 se has dual stock

There are plenty of factory freaks. And there are se's with the gt package.. They have dual exhaust.

Let's set some things straight here peeps.

1) NO WBODY car has duals...we have a single downpipe to a "Y" that goes into 2 mufflers. A Silverado has duals...we have a Y Pipe.

2) Anything with a Series II or Series III 3800...L36, L67, L26, L32...has the same catback (as long as it is the dual outlet one)...all you have to do is hang it.

3) What does factory freaks have anything to do with a dual outlet catback? Nothing. Factory freaks are the definition of fast, bone stock cars...not what options they had from the factory.

4) Unless your meaning Special Edition GT/GTP's...no SE came from the factory with dual outlet exhaust...hence the different rear bumper on EVERY SE.

No. It's not. It's an se with a gt package. It's an se with a 3.8 which includes the dual split catback(which everyone calls dual exhaust but everyone knows isn't)
Pretty sure they were only in 97 but maybe 98 as well.

If a 97-03 SE has a 3.8, it still has a single exhaust outlet. It can't have duals because it would need that back bumper from a GT, and the side skirts on the rear skin come down a lot lower than an SE body kit does.

So unless you saw one guy that put a dual muffler setup from a GT on his SE 3.8, its not factory.

Here is an autotrader GP SE for sale. Click thru the pics and notice the 3.8 and the single exhaust. They are all like that.

Later on the SE's got the same front end as a GT and GTP. Other than that they come with a single outlet for the exhaust, a different rear bumper and no side skirts.

Yes...it is.

Any SE you have ever seen with a dual outlet rear bumper and GT/GTP catback is NOT factory. SE's had a catfish front end...even when they had the 3.8 the only difference was the fact they had a 3800V6 badge on the front fenders.
