Do true duals rattle your interior?

Do true duals rattle your interior?
My cutout that dumped under the rear passenger seat did a number on my console as far as making it rattle. Will true duals do the same thing? Is it better to have the turndowns or not, as far as interior noise and vibrations?

mine rattled for a few weeks untill i got it adjusted but it turns out it was just the header hitting on the k member... but even then it wasnt bad when the car got warmed up

My car hits a lil on the rear when I go over bumps. My car is lowered though. They punded up the floor pan under the rear seats to give extra ground clearance and eliminate rattling.

Duals will make many more vibrations than a single cutout, naturally. This is one of the reasons I ditched mine, along with the poor ground clearence. Make sure you get the turn downs to angle out the side at much as possible without burning stuff, this will greatly reduce the interior resonance.

Maybe I should be more specific, true duals that dump before the axle, do they rattle your interior?

I had bullet mufflers on my 2 1/2" X pipe setup on my previous camaro and yes they did rattle the interior a little, and make sure all the change is out of the console or it would rattle like crazy. They were a little too much for the long trips (when she rode with me she would hate how she couldn't hear the radio)...but that comes with a high flowing performance exhaust

I highly recommend Sweet Thunders. You won't be disappointed.
