Default my true dual exhaust, OVER the axle!

Just got this done this morning, it sounds great!! Ground clearance is awesome, it fits nicely. A local shop, Muffler Dave's, did the work. It took awhile but man its sweet. Here's some pictures!

Very very bad ***. Flowmasters change over time, it sounds great now but as soon as they "burn in" theyll sound sweet. Especially with the cam.

no offence man. i think you could have done something else for mufflers. those flowstoppers sound great but the don't flow all that great and look like *** from behind the car.(my friend had the exact same set up). maybe if you paint them flat black or something.

I also have this setup but have half gutted cats with 12" bullets. The car is a creeper and i get compliments everyday from other True Dual owners. If i had some space to upload to, i have some very good quality sound clips. My friends ship makes True Dual setups for LS1s and he made a 4" system the other day. The guy makes detachable systems so what ever sound he wants, he bolts that setup on. The 4 inch setup is crazy looking and clearence is not as bad as i thought it would be. Runs the system through borla XR1 mufflers then dumps.

remember, with true duals, you don't need near the flow of a muffler, than a single.

stangs never really complain much about the flowmaster, compared to how we do,but we're used to 1 muffler, not 2

i personally love the way my dual bullets sound. and you can't beat a straight thru 3" for flow.

Looks good! Did you buy those bends or did he make them? How long are we talking here to install that? Also, is that the stock tunnel brace you have there or an after market? I had to leave mine off, due to the 3" pipes.

it depends on the system.

I think single chamber flows are the **** on a dual system

That is a BMR tunnel brace, I cut the DS loop off because it didnt fit for ****. It took them a little over 3 hours to fab this up, which isnt bad considering how well it fits.
