Default 3" True duals, stainless over the axle

Just picked the car up from a stainless true duals install. He used stainless mig wire and you can see everything fit nicely with the midwest watts link replacing the panhard junk. Looks good, flows great, and sounds amazing with the H pipe. Sound is around stock at light throttle and cruise but screams with heavy throttle. Idle also sounds much better.
All in all I am very happy with the reult!

WOW. looks great. I just had some True Duals run on my car... 3" but dumped before the axle. I'm hoping to get mine extended soon but i'm not sure if i will get it over the axle from where it's positioned now. Without cats, mine is ridiculously loud.. i'm hoping with it extended out to the bumper it tones it down a little and my split resonator tips clean up the sound a little.

Running it out the back definetly keeps the noise in the cabin down to almost stock with my mufflers at least. But behind the car when I get on it, it sounds extremely mean and nasty

I am in Missouri. So far I like the watts link, it requires a decent amount of adjusting to get all the movement correct, but the car definetly feels different. Not really sure how to explain it, the rear just plants and leads into turns better. Also when I hit speedbumps the rear end doesn't jack to the side any more, articulates much smoother I guess

About how much did that run you? That is how I want to do it now! I originally wanted just under the axle, but if two three inch pipes will fit over the axle on the driver side, I would much rather run it like that.

You said your in Missouri? So am I. What part? Also, do you have cats on the car? Doesn't Missouri law say you have to to pass inspection?

The car has cats welded on right behind the mufflers for now, and by law you do have to have "cats" to pass the VISUAL inspection. The materials cost about the same as the labor, all in all it was around $800 (400 labor 400 pipe/bends/hangars/wire/mufflers/tips). Pricey but then again people pay more than that for borla, corsa, and GMMG systems. Also that included the parts necessary for what would have been the Y pipe. I expect it to outlast the car.

What mufflers are those?

Also, are you going to put any sound clips up?
