I have the TSP system with Spiral Flow mufflers. Sounds incredible, ground clearance is OK, tucks up decent. Stock internals as of right now, not too loud at idle, but under hard throttle it's loud. At WOT it absolutely screams. I couldn't be happier with my decision.

I've got a custom built 2.5 inch tru-duel system. I've got it dumped before the axle with 12" Dynomax bulletts. At idle it gives a nice deep thrum and then at wot it absolutely screams. I'm a H/C car with full bolt-ons. I absolutely love it compared to my SLP Dynomouth. It actually got quieter with my tru-duels over the SLP. It's also quieter inside the car than it was with the SLP catback.

True Duals here: Stock cubes(346) and stock camshaft.

XS longtube headers (driver side collector pie cut to align back)
Custom 3" H pipe setup
NO cats..
Dynomax bullets (3")
Dumped (for now)...

I love them, no rasp and with the H-pipe I feel like I have gotten a "deeper" or "more old school" muscle car sound out of the car. The dynomax bullets get a little loud at times and have some resonence at 1800-2200 RPM, nothing horrible though. I will be switching over to Moroso Spiral Flows next month and finishing out to the back with under the axle 3" pipes.

I was the first with the True dual, Dr. Gas X pipe and the 1 chamber Flowmaster race muffs. I did it back in like 2002. The sound was incredible. I got told it was better than a Mustang and even always had cops give me the thumbs up. Sounded mean with my big cam, heads and high compression. Theres 4 clips on LS1sounds.com.

The bads... the GC SUCKS! There is none. It was so bad I got a coke can stuck underneith it driving down the road. That was embarrassing. The drone could rattle your teeth. I could turn up the radio all the way and couldnt hear it. It was fine at 80 (with a 6 speed) but that was it.

I took them off and put on a Hooker catback and never looked back.

I have a custom 3" x-pipe setup with 12" dynomax bullets dumped. At idle it is pretty tame but when you get on the gas it really gets loud. WOT is great! My system could be tucked up a little better but my clearance is not bad at all.

I Love my duals. I have never had a catback and dont plan on ever buying one.

custom 3 inch h-pipe, pacesetter headers, single-chamber flowmasters, underaxle, 232/238 cam.....its badass.... its loud enough that ive been heard coming from 4-5 miles away. its almost unbearable revving it at a stop and being behind it. but i love it.... i plan on dumping it before the axles to make it louder

I've had the TSP TD system on for 4 years now and have never had a problem. I started with the Dynomax bullets and went to Sweet Thunders and love them. I have no issues with GC, the biggest problem that causes that is installing parts of the system upside down from what I've seen. Sound is incredible, flows well, would only consider a GMMG catback if I had to change it.

I've got 3 inch straight duals. (no mid pipe) It has 3 inch straight through mufflers from dynomax I believe. Also has 2 magnaflow cats on it. It sounds awesome. Super bassy at lower RPM's and really mean in the upper RPM's. My only complaint is how tame it is at idle...

I have Bassani tru duals X pipe with one Bassani chambered muffler 2 in/2 out 2.5" system. The X duals tucks in very nice and it is set up like regular catback system on fbodies. I like the sound it have w/ my longtubes.

ive got the tsp duals, ground clearance is maybe .5 inch lower than the stock y, but i had tsp install them so that helped a lot, they arent as loud as i expected at idle and just normal driving, but they sound incredible, and at wot they scream and its so loud, but in a good way, i will never consider another system, i might eventually take them out the back just to have tips again but thats the only thing

i have tsp duals with hotchkis lowering springs. clearance is a big problem and i have to avoid all speed bumps and and any inclines that level off. i put them on myself so i'm sure that didn't help but i still think 3" is overkill for most cars. i only got the tsp duals because i couldn't find a shop to make a custom setup. i don't regret it by any means but i wish there were a place nearby that could've made a custom 2.5"

i have the tsp system and with lid and exhaust and no tune made 350/358. sounds awsome with the sweet thunders. i have had ground clearance issues but mine are partially because of the installer (myself) and the fact that i have monster speed bumps in my complex. on a daily basis they have been fine.

Bassani makes X true duals from stock cats all the way back. They offer aluminized and stainless steel. You can check them in my FQuick through videos.
