Default True dual pipes

Is this a good setup for my true duals? I have pacesetter lts, and stainless works tubular mufflers, of course no cats. So will this universal kit work for my application? And I will dup it before the axle.

Are you going to dump it at the rear end or go all the way back? Go get the universal x-pipe from summit. Its cheaper and vertually the same thing. And yes Im running PS LTs as well

I followed what this guy did to a T.

Okay, with his setup, I still do not quite understand how he hooked the pipes up to the headers. Did he use a reducer and weld it to the pipe and slip it over the collector or did he add a flange to both sides?

I went with 2.5 for torque and ground clearance. No problems to report at this time. Just finished mine a couple weeks ago.

You have to buy the two collectors. What I did since PS LT's are slip over style I bought the two collectors which come with two flanges and bought two additional flanges and welded the flanges to the headers. Helps with removal and installation and also allows you to change to any other exhaust with flanges if you decide to do something different. i.e. H-pipe, straight pipe or straight headers at the track

Depends, are you going to be using hi-flo cats?, bullet mufflers? Dumped or over the axle?
