My friend has an 02 SS with Pacesetter long tubes into a custom made true dual exhaust with single chamber flows. Sounds amazing and looks sick from behind the car

Go to an exhaust shop and ask them how much the charge to make a custom true dual setup. What muffles did you want to use?

i dunno...what do you think...a lot of people say to just go with dynomax bullets. what mufflers do you like? also...for a custom true dual set-up would i be able to fabricate it to fit any brand headers or what?

If I were to get headers I would go true duals. If not Catback. Catback's are definatly a personal choice, as what appeals to me might not appeal to you.

Yes... most people do duals with headers... the dynomax arent mufflers.. they just act as one... personally they sound better off.. give it more rasp but i like rasp.

I run as of now striaght pipe but i dont have headers yet.... before that i have a bullet then straight pipe... it just takes out the rasp.... i like the rasp so... its all a personal choice.... One of the guys here on the forum in Garden Grove owns a shop and if you wanna test things out i am sure he will hook you up nicely

I run Pacesetter Lt's and TSP's True duals With 18 in. bullets dumped before the axle. I love it! Fairly tame when driving around town but at WOT it is LOUD! Not really that much drone or rasp either.
