True Duals?? I just bought a 98 Camaro SS. I am going to put true duals on it with long tube headers. I want to know if i can take it to a muffler shop and have them make the duals from the header back or does somebody sell a true dual package.
I bought the Bassani true duals from lmperformance.com They match up to the manifolds but it wouldn't cost mcuh more to run length to headers. It's a nice setup. All stainless and fits perfect. The $950 price tag might look high but it's a quality job and an exhaust shop wont do mandrel bends. Comes with muffler, polished tips, x pipe, a ton of band clamps, and all the hardware.
TSP sells a true-dual setup but it is dumped at the axle. Bassani sells a dual kit that goes out the back as mentioned but it is expensive and only 2.5". I had a custom true-dual setup made in 3" for my car and run out the back to my factory CME tips. I have over $1000 in it but it looks and sounds amazing.
mine is a true dual set-up that was done at the muffler shop and they are all the way out the back under the axle paid less than $300 for it!!!! to answer your question your question yes a muffler shop can do it, ask around and find someone who's good instead of payin $1000

Verdad Gallardo Well there's no arguing because I want a kink free exhaust that acheives maximun power and perfect fitment that will last a long time. A kinked exhaust will not be much better than the stock system. If you plan to make alot of power than you will have to replace that exhaust to a better design that's a perfect size throughout. my 2 cents.

Get a Dr. Gas or Pypes X-pipe, some bullet mufflers, and have a shop fab up the rest for you. I currently have TSP true duals, but have been thinking about having a custom setup made using a Pypes X-pipe and the Sweet Thunder mufflers from my current exhaust.

mines mandrel bent with dynomax bullets that was custom done to fit my car for 220 or 250 i believe? the tsp kit is nice but nothing beats the fitment of a custom fitted setup. just my .02
My problem was nobody near me would do the job that I wanted and the one shop that would wanted the same price as the Bassani kit but there's didn't include any clamps, tips, or muffler and it was 2 hours away.

I'm in the same boat as you not to hijack the thread but do you have any sound clips?

I haven't tried lately but I ask a couple of places and they wouldn't do it because it supposedly violates federal law to modify stock exhaust so I said screw it and still run headers through my B&B catback.
I am running a true dual over the axle, x pipe, high flow cats, Stanley Performance bullets but not on headers. It cost with the cats $700 if I remember right. I finally have a system that doesn't hit on everything with a lowered car, finding a good exhaust guy is the key....
You can check out how Stanley did it here... http://s103.photobucket.com/albums/m...%20SS/Exhaust/
