Default People with true duals....

Youre nutz. I have true duals with bullet muffler and dumps and the car is extremly loud not to mention my car is lowered so I scrape EVERYTHING. Im going back to the normal exhaust asap.

*****. j/k man. How much are you lowered and which system do you have? TSP? Custom? Either should tuck up nicely if properly installed. Most people do it for the sound. (loud)

My car is 2 inches lowered or so, it looks to be a custom setup. A good friend gave it to me and now I see why lol. Ill take pics later. I have a HCI car. I never wouldve imagined it would be so loud. It sounds almost the same as it did with just the long tubes and no exhaust. I like loud but this is sick. small children and women run when I drive by.

Your duals suck then. Mine are ran out the back and arent even that loud anymore and they clear great. gte a custom built set and you will be much happier. I had dumps and hated it when i put heads/cam in, out the back sounds 1000 times better.

use a piece of rubber to insulate where they bolt in on the floorpan, that should cure your rattles..unless the pipes are actually touching your floorpan..which they shouldn't be since you have no clearance. Highly recommend running them out the back, under axle is easier, more cost effective, and in my opinion, looked mean as hell on my car. I NEVER drug the under axle pipes on anything. Also, bullets are loud. There are quieter mufflers.

spiral flows or one chamber flowmasters.

I run spiral flows and they are tame enough for normal driving but they still scream at WOT.

Before I give up on them Im going to take you guys advice and try some flowmasters and run the pipes to the rear. I may even raise the car back to stock.

Hey man if you decided to run your setup all the way to the back take some pics. I have an x-pipe dumped and its a lil too loud on long trips to the track. I wanna run em all the way to the back under the axle but havent seen enough pics of this setup to go ahead with it.

Hey dont get me wrong I love it too, but when the closest track and friends live 2 hours away its not fun driving back and forth. Radio doesnt help much either, either way original plan was to run it under the axle anyways.

I have pics(not real good) of 3'' under the axle duals using 4-12'' Dynomax bullets. Not too loud at all until you get on it.
