Default x-pipe?

I'm wanting to do a true dual setup on my car with a x-pipe a two single chamber flowmasters. What x-pipe should I get? Does anyone have pictures of a setup like this?

Texas-Speed sells a great x-pipe true duel. There have been many many threads about this, a search would help you a lot

its right on the homepage....scroll down a little. i would go with TSP if you are dumping. if you are going over the axle you could get a universal X-pipe. i got mine from dr.gas. $220 if i could remember

yup i'm going over the axle

how do you think a 3" duals would work and then flange it into 2.5" to go over the axle this way i can run dump's if i wanted and it would fit nicely over the axle...

the x-pipe i got is 3" inlet and 2.5 outlet. so i have 3" duals from the headers to the x-pipe, then 2.5 from the x-pipe over the axle

Im interested in getting true duals myself with that X pipe. To go over the axle, you must have to get some pipes custom made I take it?

yup...cost me like 600bucks. if i were to do it over again, i would just have dumped it. i didn't think i could deal with the weird look of no tips in the back. but know that i think about it, it wouldn't have been that bad

i have that exact setup. The flows and the dumps before the axle. The sound is great but the clearance sucks because of the case size of the flowmaster muffler. When i had bullets i hardly scraped compared to the flows.

I have flowmaster true duals with a flowtech x-pipe and jet hot longtubes. It sounds excellent. Here are some pics and a sound clip.

Only 600??? Are you nuts? LOL. If that was your total cost for the TD setup, you got away with murder. I'd take that any day over a catback, both for sound and power.

yea, i re-read it and thats what he meant. which is about what it costs usually. most other people who have done it consider it worth it.

I dont understand how that exhaust has so much clerance because it isnt tucked in the tunnle at all. Come to think of it, the whole car sits up very high off the ground compared to mine. Maybe my car has been lowered before I got it.

i'm prototyping this exhaust through vinci high performance for bassani. bolts to the stock cats into an X-pipe. then continues dual over the axle into one muffler. then two out. to fit headers, you'd have to fabricate the front pipes to the X-pipe

here's the pics
