No this guys shop is off three notch road. He is pretty good and his labor charges are fair. I dont want the true dual. Well if I had the $$$ i would do it.

Randy look at it like this man. You WANT exhaust, instead of needing it. Just wait it out and GET TDS MAN! it'll be worth the wait.

I was dedicated to gmmg until I heard the tsp rumbler in person the first time, so I went that route. save your money and do it right the first time.

well the guy's exhaust that costed $40 looks just like my tsp almost exactly.

If you went with true duals you'd be supplied with 2 bullet mufflers with the kit. with true duals you don't have exhaust tips because the exhaust stops right before the rear end. I like the no exhaust tip theme too because the car just rumbles and if you don't know anything about cars its just a mystery what kind of exhaust you have. I don't know how loud tds are inside the car though. That xpipe setup is the ONLY thing that sounds better than GMMG consistently.
Yes I have seen the x and y pipe setups

with the dumps/bullets it gives LOTS of interior noise. it vibrates a lot. the polys send all the drivetrain vibration into the cab also. my cam is a tr224.
