True Duals X-pipe dumped on slammed f-body*PICS* (56k Take a nap) Here are my pics of my formy. TSP TD'S custom cut to have cats and o2 sensors with them. X pipe dumped before the rear axle. 18" Dynomax bullets. My car is lowered with Eibach prokit springs and has a BMR torque arm. Everything cleared with a little tweaking.

Are you kidding me?
You need to go back to the exhaust shop and have those mufflers relocated. They need to be moved in and up into the tunnel. If this is done, you'll give yourself about 3+" clearance at the mufflers..

If I where to go completly custom with someone like Lane (which I probrably will this winter), I would come off the headers with 3", pipe run dual cutouts, have the system step down to 2.5 before the X-pipe so the rest of the system clears everything ok. I don't know how hard it would be to do dual cutouts but it would be worth the money to do it right and have a system that can support alot of HP and not get ripped off over every bump.

In response to all the clearance concerns:
I live in FL, not CO. Everywhere I go is pretty much flat and smooth. I've had them on for two days now, and have already gotten used to them. Yeah, I have to alter my driving style a little (sideways over bumps, and braking a little more), but I've already gotten used to it. Yeah, the clearance is terrible, but I love the look of a lowered f-body and the sound of true duals.
Btw, the biggest thing to consider for all those potential TD's owners w/ dumps is the smell. My clothes smell like fumes w/ the windows down after driving for a half hour.
To sum it up: duals suck in a lot of ways, but I'll put up with the smell, and the clearance to be rewarded w/ performance and sound. Top end performance now is waaaaaay better.

You x-pipe should be fine but I can almost gurrantee that the bullets will hit the ground even on regular roads. It's not the real bumpy roads that are bad it's the ones with long rolling dips (if that makes sense).

Lane dumps his before the rear end. I have excellent clearence on my car with the 3" exaust.

I have Kook's LT with TSP TD. They dump under the car like the ones above. I got pulled over the other day cause the cop said my exhaust is to low and does not come back far enough. I am trying to come up with something so it won't change the sound but will keep me from getting a ticket.
