Default headers/true duals - video inside

Well I got my headers & true dual 2.5 inch setup put on the OZ. I wanted to give props to the guy who's pictures I used to show my muffler guy what I wanted but I couldnt find his thread...but oh well. I went from stock manifolds to jet hot long tubes (off road versions). The true dual setup was custom fabbed by the muffler shop with an x pipe and single chamber flowmasters. I lost no ground clearance whatsoever over the stock setup. And for those of you who want to know I paid $197 for the exhaust setup not including the mufflers. This included flanges so i can take the system off, piping, x pipe, turndowns, and the welding.

I absolutely love the sound. It is not too loud that its obnoxious, but at the same time you can make sure people know you have a nice exhaust setup that is different from your typical run of the mill fbody. It has a slight bit of rasp when you push the gas hard and let off...but I really like it, as oppposed to 99% of other types of rasp I have heard. I hope to get up some pictures soon, just depends on when I can get a digital camera and get back under the car. The passenger side header has an exhaust leak , so Im a little pissed about that right now and Im waiting on Jet Hot to call me back about a replacement , but thats beside the point and you cant hear the leak in the video. Let me know what you guys think

I was the guy filming. That car has the best sounding tone to it. I would definately recommend this set-up to anyone. I heard it once and I'm hooked! I'm goin' with the same set up this summer.

The LITTLE bit of rasp you have is nothing compared to the Borla rasp. I am seriously considering true duels. Can you send me pic that you used to show your guy? It sounds good!!!

When I went to the muffler shop they had a ton of x pipes laying around that they had made and they just test fit a few of them until they found one that they thought fit the best under the car.
