What did you have to do to get it over the driver's side?

And are you lowered?

Awwwh, thats beautiful! I have some questions for ya.

1. Where did you have it built?
2. Where did you get the chambered mufflers and what kind are they?
3. What made you go with 4 vs. 2?
4. Whats the system constructed of?
5. When do you think you can get some clips?
6. Did anything have to be modified, relocated, cut, etc.?
7. Whats the size of everything? (x-pipe, mufflers, pipe, etc.)

Nicely done. Ive heard nothing but good about the GMMG exhausts so I thought of the idea of using chambered mufflers in a true dual set up, but I didnt think anyone did that yet. It was either that or Borla XR-1 mufflers.

I have true duals with sweet thunder chamberred mufflers I didnt run them all the way back since I wanted it to exit out the sides (right before the rear tires) and Im pretty happy with it. The tone is very deep, loud but not obnoxious loud like the LM and gas practically no rasp at all. Its the 4th cat back system Ive had on my car but the first one Im truely happy with.

To answer your questions.

1. My friend and I (mostly him) custom made it. Since then he has made several true dual exhausts for people around the San Diego area. He recently finished his dual set up that consists of 3inch pipes with a 3inch x-pipe, 3inch inlet/outlet with 2.5 inch inner baffles chambered mufflers and then ran the pipes all the way out the back.
2. Sweet Thunder.
3. I only have two.
4. stainless steel pipes and stainless steal mufflers.
5. Tomarrow if I actually got around to doing it. Ive had my system for close to, if not longer, than a year and just never gotten around to doing it.
6. Not really.
7. All the pipes are 2.5 inch, the h-pipe is also 2.5 inch. The mufflers are 2.5 inch inlet/outlet with 2.5 inch inner baffle and 3inch outer diameter.

Trans Am WS6 RGS: I know you mentioned that you didnt have sound clips, but do you have any pics? Where did you buy the mufflers from? Are they any different than the mufflers that the GMMG comes with? Thanks

Should I do 2 or 4 chambered mufflers? I cant decide because I dont want it to be too loud with longtubes and off-road pipes. Im afraid that its going to sound like a straight pipe set up. I want it to sound as far away from a redneck truck or Loudmouth with longtubes and off-road pipes. I dont want all that popping if you know what I mean. Do you think that 4 would be too restrictive or too quiet? Thanks.
