True duals w/ single chamber flows giving me problems!! Whats up guys,
Well, Ive had the new true dual setup on my car for about 4 days now. I tucked it up real tight and as high as possible. I had it all welded aswell.
Problem 1:
My mufflers continually hit the ground! I have them pushed up as high as possible and they still hit the ground on slight bumps on the road, and even on the highway! I probally have about 3/4 of a soda can clearance with these single chamber flows.
Problem 2:
Ive read up alot on how these mufflers sound amazing on true duals. Well, they dont sound so amazing with my setup in my opinion. Ive had about a handfull of people say its amazing sounding, but really the only opinion that counts is my own. I really dont like the sound of it. I honestly liked the sound of my y pipe with sweet thunder welded in.
Are there any other mufflers you would suggest that sound damn good with true duals? I know what sweet thunder sounds like, and i know what single chambers sound like ....
Throw some ideas at me!

not to get off topic too much but on your old setup did you just have a sweet thunder welded to the end of your y pipe then dumped? that is what I was thinking about doing but can't decide what bullet or muffler to put on it. if that is what you did how did it sound?

Are u running these on ur LT1? ive never heard the 1 chambers on an LT1......Mine tuck up really well and the only way i scrape is with a full car going over massive speed bumps.
I'm fixing to install my long tubes with a 3" X pipe and 3" 1 chambers with dumps! how loud is your car just driving around?
