the tubing itself was a kit from Flowmaster "U-fit Dual Kit" $220 wich included an H crossover pipe, that I never used. I ordered the mufflers seperate and the X pipe is custom.The mufflers are now painted flat black on the bottom half so they dont stick out like a sore thumb. I am 100% satisfied with the set up,the pictures do it no justice. The sound I am pleased with,there is nothing quiet about it and if you do not want attention drawn to you then I would not reccomend this setup.
oh yeah you will need a BMR relocation kit to make room for the BIG *** pipes over the axle

Bassani true duals x with headers
I have a 2000 z28 camaro, I want to install the bassani true duals x kit with headers. I know the kit bolts directly to the stock cat pipe but are there any headers i can bolt together with this system? I would like to stay with Long tubes or mid tubes no shortys. Minor mods is ok but welding is not an option. Any help would be good.

Wanting To Go Out The Back
I just bought a True dual kit with single chamber flowmasters dumped at the axel. I was wondering if anybody had any pics of a setup like this run out the back OVER the axel. I have looked through this thread some but didnt find ony that I could see. Does anybody have any info on switching a once dumped kit to over the axel kit ? Thanks

Here is my exhaust setup.
Headers: Pacesetter Long Tubes, Ceramic Coated
Texas Speed Trual Duals, 3 inches all the way back. Dynomax bullets were originally on the setup, recently changed to SLP Shotgun Resonators (thanks SSwt00SS)
Sound: Reasonable at highway speeds, low growl. Cold starts are LOUD, with the bullet mufflers the setup was very deep, under 2,000rpm it's no louder than any other catback setup.
With the SLP Resonators nothing is modest, or subtle. You will be followed by cops (happened today) you will get noticed, a lot. It is VERY, VERY loud. NOT to be used on a DD setup.

Verdict: Great for power, if clearance is an issue, get stiffer shocks because the setup will scrape on a lowered car, and in my case with 16inch wheels. Keep the mufflers that come with the setup unless you like to be noticed! :thumbup:

Dude, take a breath. Either way the x-pipe is the correct answer and that is what I suggested. No need to flip over what you think is a wrong answer. :shrug:

Yeah i just get tired of seeing that everywhere, thats all. Its a rediculous statement if you think about it. Your basically saying that if I go stick a potato in one of my tail pipes, it'll run better...

I really don't think that anyone was suggesting clogging up these engines is the way to go, but everything I had read, heard from people who have worked on these LS series engines for years, etc all say a "LITTLE" backpressure is a good thing. If they are all wrong, then oh well. My 1st hand experience is that my car seemed to like the single exit catback more than the full on true duals. :shrug:
As I said before, no biggie, just one of those things.

I am not trying to say that it is the same for everyone, obviously every car is different, just relating my experience with this subject.

I have edelbrock longtubes for thoes who dont know their 1 3/4" stepped to 1 7/8" with a 3.5" collector, with their ORY and the slp loudmouth II cat back.
I would like to make 550rwhp on a 150 shot, would my curent exhaust set up hurt me at that power level?
Ive come to hate my exhaust tips and would like TD's but only if it would be worth it. ive also thought about removing the part of the cat back that goes over the axle and dumping it befor the axle, it would flow better imo because it does not have to go threw the extra piping and i can ! my tips.
any thoughts?

All I can tell you is I gained better low end power with my TD's (with a little high end). And they sound much better than the loudmouth IMO. I also hated the tips look, and now I think my car looks much better without them.

Just installed my TSP true dual system yesterday, incredible difference in sound over my ORY and Magnaflow catback. Amazingly, the biggest difference is actually how much quieter the car is now!? For the life of me I thought it'd be a bit louder but supprisingly it's got a much deeper and far less raspy tone, dare I say it's almost 'Mustang' like, proabably because Stangs have been using true duals for ages now. In either event, I truly enjoy my TD and highly reccomend it to anybody considering making the switch.
