Default Texas Speed True Duals???

I'm definately setting up with true duals...that loudmouth just aint working for me anymore. I was ready to order the parts seperate when I found a complete setup on TSP.com. It's $420 shipped to you which isnt that bad, but i'd like to hear what it sounds like first? Anybody have any clips or comments about TSP's true dual setup??

OH BOY... JRP is gonna eat you up on this one. There's a thread about 2 threads down with everyone praising the TSP True Duals on a 427.

You are correct sir... but you could add them if you wanted with the right cats.

i think putting cats on true duals kinda defeats their purpose. but you could put some hi flow cats in there if u so choose. and yea...i'm suprised jrp hasn't taken a chunk out of your *** about this one yet LOL. hugger's ride is f#ckin sick soundin...check out his vids.

with all due respect fellas, true duals on a 427 are going to sound different than what it will sound like on a mostly stock set up. Granted its music to the ears to listen and see that video of the 427 w/ the TSP Rumbler X but as for comparison and decision making, it doesnt help the norm on this board.

To answer your question bro, it sounds great. Pretty raw sounding and at cruise the drone is really not that bad. 1600 rpms till about 1800 rpms its horrible, but still sounds great, anything about 2200 rpms is just wicked sounding. with duals i've found that you really need to hear them in person, the video and sound clips are usually slighty distorted or the camera is too far away etc...too many variables to get a good idea of what the sound is like.

with cats it wouldn't be as bad with the drone and overall sound. ITs still going to be loud. HI-flow cats barely restrict so it wouldn't defeat the purpose at all.

and for the price...i wish they had that set up before i starte dmodding dammit

I have cats with my duals and it didnt defeat their purpose. A friend of mine has a set-up very similar to the rumbler and he too has cats. The only friend of mine with duals and no cats plans on getting them soon.

I may be wrong but Im pretty sure there was a rumbler sound clip on 346 ls1. Didnt TSP post some?

no need for me to jump on the guy when you guys already made the point

the TSP duals should should just like every other dual setup with bullets but just a tad quieter since there's are longer. go check ls1sounds.
