Default x pipe & dumps OR true duals out rear?

my car will be at the track more than on the street. but I am wondering if I can get someone to inspect it with dumps before the axle <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> there are no emissions here and I "think" maybe I can persuade someone to inspect it for an extra $20 or something. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

speed inc will be finishing my car and doing the exhaust

I have kooks headers,will be running no cats and:

1) x pipe, some type mufflers, and dumps before the axle

OR

2) x pipe, mufflers and true duals out the rear.


pros of each
dumps before axle will be lighter, more HP!

duals out the rear will look better, will pass inspection, will be quieter, less COPS.

Dump it. Out the back will be quieter on the inside of the car, but the same on the outside. Probably even louder directly behind the car.

I'm leaning toward the dumps. especially since they're $600 less.

I'm doing the x with dumps but I am kinda worried about inspection too. How are you planning on running the pipes out the back?

Go with the dumps! And might I add... Go with Moroso Spiral Flow mufflers. Thay sound bad ***. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I had bullets before the spiral flows, but just didn't like them that much. They are just as deep, but a are quieter at criusing speed.

You guys just need to find a mechanic like mine, he said I will pass about anything you bring me, if I know ya. It is between you and the state cop that pulls you over though, cause when he talks to me, I will say, It was on the car when i inspected it.

My car is loud as hell, he said cops cant' do to much, as long as you have a muffler on there.

Well I will be the ***** of the group and say if it is a daily driver do not get dumps with bullets. Sounded baddass outside the car but inside, my god. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
