Default got my TSP true duals........OMFG!!!!

I must have listened to 100 sound clips of true duals on the interweb, but I was still shocked at how deep and refined they sound. They are definetly the best sounding exhaust I have heard yet. So deep.

Fitment was good, but the X-pipe is LOOOWW. I don't think you could drop the car two inches and have more than an inch of clearance. But my personal recommendation is, if you are undecided, go for it, you won't be sorry. I didn't know an LS1 could sound this good.

What mufflers came with it? How loud is it? Obnoxious?

I am glad you like it! How much deeper is it over the Hooker since the Hooker IMHO is a very deep sounding cat-back to begin with?

I had the Hooker catback before I put the duals on. I loved the sound of the Hooker, but There is no comparison to the duals. I'd say it is 100-to- 200% deeper. I'm not just excited, It really is unbelievable.

I had the hooker catback before my true duals, and there is simply no comparison. The duals are an entire universe deeper.

Hell, that hooker sounded positively tinny next to my duals.

Sounds sweet. I'd go with true duals but I would not like the look of no exhaust tips coming out the back, especially on my WS6 which has the notches in the fender for the tips. Having nothing there just wouldnt look right IMO.

I'm running TSP Duals with a BMR torque arm and have no clearance issues.

My car is lowered & they do ride low, but it's because of the Bullets. They sound awesome. No comparison to any cat back out there, duals sound totally different & no rasp.

Duals do sound fantastic. There are indeed suspension issues looks like. At normal ride height slight clearance is ok. When the car lowers, the clearance is tighter, could be a saftey issue or a relevent fitment issue depending on parts etc. Quality is nice so should be ok for road trips and stuff.

In the end if you are tracking it at road race events where clearance wouldn't be proportional to, if you were daily driving to and from work or would like some extra clearance for various terrain. That sound of scraping is eerie almost like a nail on a chalkboard over speed humps not good. However TSP duals fitment looks ok and custom jobs may eventually run more.
