That is speed engineerings true dual system. For 289 it's a steal. I am at stock height and the lowest point are the tips with little over 3" clearance. Pipes do take a bit of adjustment so if you get this kit, take your time and get them right. Mine aren't perfectly set up I'm sure it could be done better especially if you weld it up. It is stainless 3" piping and sounds wicked. Very deep tone and yes, it's loud. Waaaaaay better than my magnaflow catback I am happy with it. I DD this car and it's completely dailyable. I have the stock 60E and 3.70 gears, no drone while cruising on the street or freeway but there is an obvious deep growl. Small blip of the throttle to 3k plus absolutely screams and WILL draw attention. The mufflers are their own (never asked where they sourced them because I don't care) and are perforated bullets. Not louvered. Which is good. This kit is just good. If you get the dumps I would make sure they are turned 45 degrees so the sound waves don't bounce around under you. I have not had any problems with scraping or rubbing.

Buyer beware: If you buy this, the hardware supplied with the clamps are garbage. You have to buy grade 8 bolts with nuts and lock washers. Very important. Don't use the stock hardware!!! Clamps themselves are fine.

Overall I think this kit is a great buy for the money. If you are lowered I'd be cautious with any X system, you may need to have one built for you.

As to why it looks crooked, it's because i did that, the driver side pipe runs under the driver seat bolt. I could probably dent the pipe and raise it another 1/2" but I haven't got around to it. That pic makes it look worse than it is though. Kind of a crappy pic.

Yeah i may end up getting one of those, i have their headers and Y already and love them, i may have my brother tig up everything on the true dual setup, hard to beat for $289

It will either be the speed engineering true dual setup or this

Bspeck82

For 539 bucks? That's ridiculous. Not to mention it will look like garbage after 5 months.

Are you lowered?

Lower than stock yes, coilovers

Bspeck82

Ok good, so you can adjust ride height. Ya I'd swing for the dumped duals. The more I drive it the more I like them. They are actually not as loud as one would think.

You got a sound clip of yours? Is your car cammed?

Bspeck82

No and yes. I'll get one for you after work.

Yes I know it needs a 28" tire. Shut up. Lol

Lol tire fryer. It don’t sound bad though, actually quieter than the corsa i have

Bspeck82

Corsa isn't a low budget name, I bet that system you have is a nice piece. Not sure if it's louder than mine, I doubt it. This thing is loud but unlike the loud mouth system, it sounds good. Lol. YouTube just over compresses the vid. You got a vid I'd like to hear it, and what heads/ypipe you running?

Bspeck82

I found a clip on your old thread. Ya I think it'd the way i captured the vid. IDK what you used to record but I just used my phone. Does well to pick up the tone but it normalizes volume. Your system sounds great. Why do you want to change it? Does is rasp?

It sounds good but does have a little rasp, i mainly want and exhaust that’s easier to get on and off easier with transmission swaps ect, this system is a pita

Bspeck82

Okay, ya it's easy to take on and off for sure. It seemed to have smoothed out my exhaust note from my previous setup. The idle sounds like it chops more but it is more consistent with less high pitched tones. I'll upload a vid of my old setup so you can compare. Same recording device.

Bspeck82

Probably has to do with the increased scavenging capabilities of the X and the shorter overall system resulting in higher exhaust velocity. But I'm not an expert with pressure waves.
