I like the way it sounds on my car.

Shoot. Don't blame the true duels, its the mufflers. I have the same set up with FIBERGLASS packed mufflers and it is quiet as hell inside the car!

No, I have an identical TD system I had someone make for me. I have the mufflers in the same place.

The mufflers 3" that I would use IF I bought the speed eng set up, which wasn't available when I got mine, would be these http://www.jegs.com/i/PYPES/958/MVR203S/10002/-1

Basically what I am saying, is that I would 100% buy speed eng exhaust. It is so worth it guys.

Are the tips on the dumped version welded? I'd like to position them at an angle vs. straight towards the ground.

I was reading some info on mufflers yesterday. Since y'all are talking about replacing mufflers on this system, maybe this would be helpful...
___________
http://www.tbssowners.com/forums/exh...must-read.html

Here are a few flow tests on typical glass packs louvered and non and even reverse flow. I know they are smaller diameter, but you get the idea between the ones with the holes (Bullet style) and the others......





2.25” Inlet/Outlet_ Glass Pack Tips- No Louvers- Smooth 274 CFM
2 ¼” Inlet/Outlet- Glass Pack Tips-Louvered 133 CFM Reverse flow 141 CFM
Testing done on a Stock motor had a loss of 10HP and 11ft/lbs of torque between a louvered and non louvered 2.5" generic glasspack.

Wanna know how much differance 2.25" flows over 2.5"? How about 20%!
2.25” Cherry Bomb 239 CFM
2.50” Cherry Bomb 294 CFM

2.5" Dynomax VT 17956 - 841 CFM
2.5” Inlet/Outlet Dynomax Super Turbo 278 CFM
2.5” Inlet/Outlet Ultraflow Bullet 512 CFM
2.5” Inlet/Outlet Gibson Superflow 267 CFM
2.5” Inlet/Outlet Flowmaster ( 2 Chamber) 249 CFM
2.5” Inlet Outlet Flowmaster ( 3 Chamber) 229 CFM
2.5” Inlet/Outlet Thrush CVX 260 CFM
2.5” Inlet/Outlet Maremount Cherry Bomb 298 CFM
2.5” Inlet/Outlet Hooker Aero Chamber 324 CFM
2.5” Inlet/Outlet Hooker Max Flow 521 CFM
2.5” Inlet/Outlet Borla Turbo 373 CFM
2.5" Inlet/Outlet Magnaflow 284 CFM
_______________

Personally, I pulled an off-road TSP true dual system off that was dumped before the axle (for emissions) & replaced it with a Hi-flow cats, late model magnaflow merge/y into a GMMG. I can definitely tell that it doesn't spin up as fast as it used to... it isn't as 'snappy', but it's hard to tell if it's down on power.

I'd like to go this route, but I need the cats. It would be nice if this set was offered with a pair of hi-flows. Has anyone installed it with cats?

Anyone good at puzzles?

Just kidding. Looking at the picture in the 1st post, it looks like a piece of cake.

Have they flattened the portion under the driver's side any for clearance? Everything here looks like it's perfectly round.

I would not say that...But this is a very good deal no doubt.

Question MWC Watts link

Anyone have a MWC Watts link with this exhaust? I am soon to get mine installed along with new shocks and lowering springs. I believe Kooks is fine with it so I would hope I would be OK seeing this is a similar setup.

I received my Speed Engineering kit yesterday. I got the long tube headers, and the over the axle, rear exit kit. Last night I installed the BMR lowering springs, rear lower control arms, removed the factory exhaust (still have to remove factory manifolds), and the air pump. I will post pics once I get the exhaust on.

Well I got the kit delivered and put on yesterday.. fits pretty damn good, I thought I might have trouble with my BMR tunnel mount torque and but no problems with that... like stated before the clamps are ****, idk if it's just me or what but they literally do not clamp.. got the whole exhaust system on before I tightened it all down and when I turn my car on it vibrates the exhaust so much the **** starts coming loose! Start to drive away and my exhaust is damn near on the ground... so I still gotta mess with it. But the sound is amazing! Went from a borla cat back to this and definitely more throaty and probably just as loud as borla or maybe slightly more quiet.. when I get everything to not fall off I'll get a good video for you guys
