Yes, my true duals are not currently on the car, but I'll get a picture of them when I get to the shop today. I was going to put a pic of it on here several weeks ago but then I got the flu and it's been all I can do just to function everyday.
We ran my car at the LSX Shootout in Memphis, (it is the Z28 on the March cover of GM High-Tech Bob) in the True Street class with the M9 and dual exhaust. Bob

I had my duals fabbed around my 10 bolt, and had no issues when I bolted up my s60

The reason why this is an issue for me is because of the way the torque arm is mounted to the body.

I was just reading something the other day on M9 torque arm. It seems to me that if it can clear a nice fitting y-pipe at should clear TD's too, since Td's usually sit a tad lower anyways.

I just had the muffler guy cut my y-pipe and a friend gave me some 3" stainless to use so I just had to buy those two Magnaflow bullets. He did a good job except he only had a crush bender as opposed to mandrel so I may fix that when I get some power that it actually matters.

Did it like this in order to keep full adjustability of the torque arm.

Yes, but he asked for Fabbed not Pre-Fabbed.

And yes, I do remember you beating this to death in another thread. I like this rear and I like the longer torque arm. Since you bought from midwest I'm not sure if you have any experience on the M9 from Moser. So why bother posting?

Dirtdevil thanks for the pics. I see im gonna have to ditch the X pipe then. I guess I can always sell my current set up and just redo it when the time comes. Thanks again.

Yeah, it's pretty easy to get rid of your current x-pipe. Guys are always looking for those.

So far I love this rear. Our track here doesn't open till April so I don't have any track time yet. But I have been driving the heck out of it on the street. It's not as loud as everyone makes it out to be (since it has spherical rod ends). I just have to learn how to set it up for the track and I'll be good-to-go.
