TD's I would not do it on that driver and suggest just the E-cutout.

Happy birthday!

I had TDs on my car when it was my DD, still do. Only difference is when I drove it everyday I had an X pipe. Now the chassis mount torque arm with the DS loop built in wouldnt clear the X. I switched to an H pipe and everything clears great. Full 3" into spintech mufflers dumped at the rear axle.

Happy birthday man, but i got a question though, at what time do you need a racing jacket? and does it matter about the single or double layer? Im lookin into them right now also.

Happy BDay man 31? You're old ... HAHA!

If you do TDs on a DD, you may want to go ahead and exit at the tail.
Dumps under the rear seats will make for a lot of noise in the cabin.
If you want to do bullets, take a ride in someone's car who has them first.
I found out the hard way with my 95 that they were not something I cared to DD with.

Happy birthday man! You and Elliot are old men jeez. Anyways I say go duals because they don't even compare to an ORY and Catback and thats coming from someone who ran ORY, Cutout w/ Magnaflow and an ORY w/ GMMG. Plus it looks a heck of alot cooler under the car. If you got a chassis mounted torque arm then you will want to go with an H-Pipe an unsure on the DS Loop I have yet to put one on myself to know for sure. So basically my vote is for duals you won't regret it especially since your car isn't a DD. The cam is ALOT more pronounced with the TD's which is never a bad thing

LOL! Thanks guys!
Its not a DD and will never be one. The toilet is working good so im driving that and plan to buy a newer truck soon. Most trips in this car will be to the local cruise spots or the track. Im not a long cruise country senery kinda guy. The farthest it might ever go is drive to the shootout if i cant find a trailer and truck..........
I think I really want TDs......think being the key words.

Based off what you just said...You NEED them! Nothing like rolling up to the meets with some TD's dumped making the cam sound like all hell is about to break loose. Trust me the difference between Catbacks and TD's are huge I know from experience!

Hahaha yea yea yea you old man lol.

AC lemme give you some more inspiration....I took the car to the shop to have the TD's done and they guy pulled my car in (when it had ORY, Magnaflow and remember I have a 224/230 107lsa cam). He put the duals on and then fired it back up to pull it out and said "so the car has a cam after all"...Do it!

Yeah I got a few grey hairs starting to poke through this thick head of hair of mine

I say go TD's AC! I'm gonna put my Magnaflow up for sale after my swaps done and go TD's myself. I went with a 224/230 109lsa and that baby should be sounding pretty good with the TD's!
