Default finally got my true duals!!!!

I finally got my car back!!! I gave it to them with pacesetter LT's, a slp flowpac, nd a ported tb.

They fabbed up on x-pipe then had the exhaust run over the axle over the stock location. All mandrel bends it looks so clean, and my ground clearance is amazing. I got maganaflow 4x9 mufflers and no cats. It sounds awesome, i love it.

Dynoed on a landen c dyno. 353whp and 360tq.

Sounds nice. Throw up some pictures and a video clip. Who did you give it to? How much did it run you? What are you other mods?

tach it up motorsports, in new carlisle ohio (great shop!) did the work from the headers back... and those numbers are after dyno tuning it. well i brought them the car with the headers, plugs, plug wires, intake, and ported throttle body already installed and then i also jsut brought the mufflers and tips for them to use.. they charged me 1400 for an alignment, all mandrel bent exhaust, x pipe, band clamps, dyno tune, and labor to install and fab the exhaust... they cut me kind of a deal tho he said because i was the first customer he made true duals for on an f body and he used it kinda like a mock up car

overall i am very happy wiht everything its great!!

Glad to hear you are happy with your car. IMHO you overpayed for what was done. I paid 600 for header install and fabrication from headers back. It is a true dual setup w/ an h pipe all the way out back. The price I paid included mufflers and tips. A dynotune should be no more than $400 so that's a grand total of $1000 that I paid. For a header install fab work all the way back to the bumper mandrel bent tubing, mufflers, and tips plus a dynotune. Like I said I'm glad your happy but a lot of people overpay cause they don't shop around.
