Dr. Gas True Duals...? Just wondering... but TD's seem to of course be the best way to go... I find it odd that nobody seems to be using the Dr. Gas Oval Tubing for more ground clearance?

any reason why not? I mean from the diagram it seems the issue of pipe size won't be an issue...

Expensive, not easily bent, coupling it to your headers is not easy, no traditional muffler would be easily installed in the system, and again trqaditional mufflers in the system reduce ground clearance. There are alot of issues with this particular type of tubing. Short of buying everything from them it really seems like you would be stuck.

Well i figure there's "some" custome fabbing on pretty much any true dual system you get for an F-body for the most part... but from what I see on their site... looks like you could use a combination of the
Straight ovals
Round to Oval Transistions
X-Pipe
Round to Oval Transitional Bends
and I figure the muffler shop could fill in the gaps where you have the room to use traditional round tubing...

but whats the point of spending the 3x the cost for the small sections of flat oval tubing for added clearance when you still end up with much of the exhaust being round and loosing clearance anyhow?

Oval tubing would gain some clearance

never said anything about my car being faster and as far as being ignorant... I was laughing because I thought it looked funny... Is that allowed on here? Sheessh... some of you guys really need to lighten up...
back on point... I guess i've been mis-imformed on how much money most people spend on a TD setup because it seems to me that most people spend somewhere in the ballpark of $500-$1000 bucks anyways for a nice decent well made system much like this one...(actually i'm betting the one to the link costs more...) https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....7&postcount=46
that being the case... i don't see much of a price difference?

dr gas makes some good stuff.just run the same type of tubing (round or oval) as far as you can to prevent excess (realignment) of the spent gas so you wont slow the exit velocity .too many changes in the tubing will slow it down.air doesent like to change its shape once its moving.
