True Dual Setup, Need Help After doing a little bit of research, I've decided to go with a true dual exhaust for my '98 Trans Am WS-6. I do know for sure that I will be going with a Texas-Speed 1-7/8" Long Tube Headers. Ultimately, I would also like an H-Pipe that goes over the axle (not dumped).
So my questions are these: Where can I find a good H-pipe that does over the axle? And what are some good mufflers for a setup like this? Also, what else do I need to look into buying before taking this into a exhaust shop?
Really what I want is a sound very similar to this:

I am about to run a true-dual system on my car looking for a shop to install but here is what parts I have. X-pipe off ebay, classic chambered medium powersticks, over axle, classic chambered resonators before tips. 3" all the way. you will need a panhard rod relocation kit I found one for 89.95 Founder's performance. If you go to classic chambered exhausts website and go to sight and sounds page, then scroll down to the white WS6 and listen.

You can get a 3inch flowmaster u-fit kit for like 300$. That is all the pipe including the h pipes. Then you just need the two mufflers of your choice. I like the borla xr-1 my self. Nice deep tone. And then some tips like Corsa clones or whatever you like.

Finally a guy with a good exhaust idea ! I too have suggested this kit before, I have not used it but , I believe that it will put you pretty close , may need 2or 3 custom bends to get it complete. For those that have too have stainless, its a great deal its only $50 bucks more.

3" Duals Just completed my 3" True Dual System last week in my 98 SS. I put a LS3 HOT CAM Crate Engine in the car with Texas Speed 1" 7/8 Headers. No Cats but did install cutouts to a Magnaflow X-Pipe. Duals run down the Passenger side of the driveshaft and up over the Axle. You have to use Pandhard relocation bar to get over the axle, but definetly better than goin under. Used 15" KOOKS Race Mufflers with Corsa Clone Tips... It sounds amazing and looks great too. The x pipe does not drone like all the H pipe kits ive seen. All of my pipe came for mandrelbendingsolutions.com out of Maryland. They sell kits with assorted Mandrel bends that also come with straight pieces. All in all i have about 500 bucks in my setup given i did all the work myself.
