Default Custom True Duals

Tyson from Performance Auto Fabrication near Westminster, MD installed true duals on my car and as usual did excellent work.













I will try to get some more pics of the exhaust with the car on the ground soon. The exhaust has excellent ground clearance.

sound clip. nice looking exhaust.

Is that 3" from the collectors all the way back?

Also, I've been wondering how much louder those 2 bullet type mufflers are than my Magnaflow muffler. What kind are they?

What would happen if you did the same sytem, minus the "X" pipe. More power, less, what?

I have to get with my buddy that has a video camera to get a sound clip. Yes 3 inch from the collectors all the way back. I had the magnaflow catback before and it isn't any louder, just alittle deeper sound and no rasp. Borla XR-1s.

What if you deleted the "x" pipe, what would happen?

So what would happen if it were just dual all the way back? Not that I would do it, just curious.

Nice fabrication....

In addition to the sound clips.... I'd like a pic of it sitting on the ground. Kinda like to see how low they hang.

Alittle more than the normal price ($1200 to $1300) I see people paying for over the axle true duals.

It's not a necessity, but you will make more power with a crossover pipe.

He can do SS. It would be 2000.00 give or take. And speed paid more than 1300.00. Looks and sounds good.

3"X .065 steel U-bend $20-25 VS. 3"X .063 304 stainless . $45-50 per U bend
and 321 is way two expensive


Labor would be more because you would have to TIG weld everything
