my advice with that kit (and what I did) is start at the headers and work back. Just ducttape the xpipe to a jackstand and position it where you want it and build the pipe to it and from it.

Anyone know the best way to turn a TSP ORY into a true dual setup? Like what x pipe to choose? My setup is way to raspy for my taste.

Ground clearance and possible suspension interference. I run over the axle into cme with no problems.

I'm running duals under the axle and the clearance sucks. I'm waiting on 2 magnaflows to rework the whole setup.

How small pipes can you use without beeing to restrictive for a stock 2001 ls1?

I need as much ground clearance as possible.

I dont know about the length question, but as for me I would do it once and make 3 inch fit, Or thats actually exactly what I did. I now have this crazy deep tone that people often search for and never find. Id do it again a million times.
