Default Pics of Kooks 1 7/8 and custom under axle true duals

Just got this setup installed at AZ Power and Sound and I took some pics of it on the car. Figured some people might have wanted to see this.

All pipes are 2.5", everything is custom made and fabbed on the car. All mufflers are magnaflow, one set of street mufflers and another set of race mufflers for interior drone.

Enjoy :

Looks good! How much clearance do you have on the mufflers from the ground?

More clearance than the stock y-pipe and catback had.

My subframes hang lower than the exhaust does.

i like the system and i know you have been on here longer than me but.... y get a 1 7\8 header and then run a system with 2.5" piping and 4 mufflers? and y weld flanges on that nice stainless header? i think a 3" ory and a cut out might flow better and be quieter when closed.. but this is just my opinion..sorry to *** up your thread.

I went with the 1 7/8 because of the 150 shot. And I don't need more than 2.5" exhaust. Two 2.5" pipes is good for over 600rwhp. Plus 3" true duals are way too loud and flow way too much for my application. Now the mufflers, you could throw a boulder through the race mufflers so I guarantee you they are not hindering flow. This setup made 578rwhp on the spray so I don't think that I am having any flow problems. And flanges were welded on because they provide a much better seal than any slip over and clamp setup would.

As far as a y-pipe, there is no way in hell I would ever go back to a y-pipe setup. True duals flow better, make better power, and sound 10,000 times better than any y-pipe setup I have ever heard.

Trust me I have done my homework on this and this exhaust is more than plenty for my setup.

Really interested in a sound clip.

I've never heard a sound clip from a true dual set-up with two sets of mufflers.

For those that wanted a sound clip of my exhaust, here is what I have.

These are also a testament to how much flow that my four mufflers and only 2.5" pipes are restricting.

Maybe I should get a y-pipe and some cutouts or upgrade to 3" pipes.

Why do you prefer those? And why would someone need good luck with Bosch 02's if theres nothing wrong with them?? I'm getting new ones this weekend, so this concerns me
