Get the texas speed duals. I have them and they are awesome. If you take your time on the install, they tuck up real nice. Im lowered on Strano springs and they dont scrape if your not dumb about it.

its either custom, tsp true duals that hook up to lt headers, or bassani makes one that bolts up to the stock cats, but it costs around 1k.

If you just want a car that's louder than hell, has absolutely no tone, and don't care about looks, then get them. Otherwise, get a catback, it will sound better, and hey, you'll only lose about 2-3 peak WHP...

You can also consider a cutout. They sound about the same...

HAHAHAHA! the fact that you said that a catback exhaust will sound better than true duals is HILARIOUS. My car sounds sooo much better than my 3 previous catback setups. And zero white trash rasp.

HAHA I think your the first person ive ever heard say a catback sounds better

You do know the only good or the best sounding true duals are through a catback don't you?

We are talking about a TSP True dual setup vs TSP o/r ypipe with say magnaflow. Don't bring in Bassani please. If that was the case, I could say that the american racing True Duals sound the best, even though its over $1500 just for the x-pipe and back...

Anything like that has to be a custom setup. You will be looking at probably 800+ easily if you have a shop do it.

I've actually heard them. I reccomend them to anyone. I dont think i've ever heard to many people say catbacks sound better than true duals either. You must love rasp i'm not saying all catbacks have it but most do with longtubes and ory. I say go TSP TD's you want regret it.

I had a complete true dual over the alxe exhaust made for under $300 out of cheap CarQuest stainless pipe, chambered Powerstick mufflers, Magnaflow metallic cats, H pipe and Corsa clone tips. fits pretty well, doesn't sound bad (short sound clip below) You just need to find a shop who isn't afraid of trying something challenging. After hearing TD's I will not go back to a y pipe setup for anything!

that is Hooker ceramic coated LT's, into Magnaflow metallic cats, H pipe, into 2.5" medium length Powerstick chambered mufflers, and out the back with Corsa clone tips. Sorry for the crappy sound quality in the video, I will try to do another one, since that video makes it sound kinda burbly.
