Default True Dual question

I have an opportunity to buy some duals that bolt to the stock manifolds. I know alot of people say "dont waste you money, save up for long tubes," but the guy only wants $100.00. I just wanted to get some of yalls thoughts on the deal. Also if any one has duals on stock manifolds, what kind of power does it make? And how does it sound?

As long as theyre using 2.25 or better tubing, and use name brand mufflers, you really cant go wrong. Thats an outstanding price, even used assuming its of good quality. You will gain power over your stock setup, but not as much as a long tube headers / 3" duals setup. I think it should sounds pretty good. My dynomouth sounded great with stock manifolds.

Get it, you could always modify it later when you get the headers.

Not a bad price at all, you should gain something from the TDs.

I have that system on stock manifold for now and it sounds awesome. I have never dyno'ed my car but picked up a couple of tenths over a "flowmaster" I say go for it.

Spend the $100 now and just have them modified when or if you get LTs.

Are you planning on getting LT's? B/c if you are, skip the exhaust mani duals and just for some real headers.

We've done several system off of stock manifolds/cats, and they worked VERY well. Especially with the '01+ manifolds. If the system looks decently made, go for it.
