Thumbs up Got the True Duals

I got a 2.5" True Dual with x-pipe and bullet mufflers that dumps before the axle. Let me first say that this is THE CURE ALL FOR RASP. I have no more rasp, none, zip, ziltch. Not between 2000-2500 rpms, not at full throttle, not at partial throttle, not in high gear, NO RASP. Second this is by far the best sounding exhaust I have heard on these cars. Very, very deep rumble. It sounds like the old school big blocks. And mated with the Hooker longtubes it absolutely roars at WOT. Definitely louder than my previous setup, at WOT. Surprisingly it is pretty docile and quite at idle, just a nice soothing low hum / easy rumble.

I highly recommend this setup to anyone that is thinking about it.

Sorry I do not have any sound clips or pics at this time. I hope to a acquire a new digital camera for Christmas. If I do I will add the pics to this post. I have to tell you though that the sound simply cannot be imitated by a sound clip. I have heard many sound clips of the true duals and none of them did it justice. You need to hear this thing in person to get the full affect.
**A word of caution** Once you hear this setup in person you will be hooked and will soon find yourself saving up for the true duals.

HOTROD98Z - Previous setup was Hooker longtubes and offroad y-pipe attached to MagnaFlow Catback

frey51 - Custom job done at ProDyno in Phoenix Arizona

642642 - don't know what kind of x-pipe, as said above I just turned my keys over to ProDyno and drove the car home after it was done.
