Default True Duals

I just called my local shop and they said that it was impossible to run true duals on a 2000 Trans Am. They said that there "wasn't enough room" under the floorboard. I know that some members on this forum have a true dual setup...so let me know what's up. Are these people just retarded?

There are sponsors that make true duals for our cars. Just do a search and you will probably find it I'm sure.

Pick up the TSP TD's, find a better shop, or get some pics of other peoples TD setups and show that to them. its possible for sure.

The shop that did my TDs said that too. But for only charging me $450 for stainless 2.5'' all the way out the back (I brought my own x-pipe and mufflers) I was willing to take the time and tell them where to run the pipes. Small exhaust shops rule.

Yes, yes they are. Get some LT's and TSP true duals or have a different exhaust shop fab some up for you and then take them to show it to them.

Do TSP true duals come with cats, and is it possible to order it without a muffler so I can order some Hooker mufflers to put on?

Ok, so it seems that true duals are a little out of my budget, so now I wanna get a Hooker Ypipe to connect to my Hooker catback and work with JetHot LT headers...I want to get the Hooker Ypipe from the WS6 Store...what does it mean about needing sensors or a tune or the SES light will be on?


It's all pretty confusing to me.

There's 4 O2 sensors on our cars and if you do LT's you will move the Front O2's and put them in the LT's. Your SES light will be on because you don't use the rear O2's anymore therefor you will have to get a tune to delete them. That's if you delete the cats.

But you said you were using a catback so you would still use 4 O2's. You will need to buy some O2 extensions to connect them since you will be putting the cats in a diff. spot.

I say go for the true duals from TSP and a set of Pacesetter LT's. I love it and they sound awesome!
