Default True Duals Setup

I'm finally getting around to changing my exhaust setup. I went with TSP 1 7/8" stainless headers, phab stainless x pipe(ebay), and dual Magnaflow 14419 mufflers. The Headers are in, and i'm waiting on the rest in the mail. I will be taking it to an exhaust shop to see if i can get it to tuck up nice and neat without sacrificing too much ground clearance.

I'll post a video in here when it gets completed (probably mid next week)

In the meantime, I was curious if anyone is using those Magnaflow mufflers in a true dual setup. Ive tried searching around and what i did find was poor sound quality. If anyone could post a video of that setup up, that would be great. If not, i'll still be posting mine shortly.

Went with the 14419s because i loved my Magnaflow catback, and the sound of it. Just curious if this setup is going to give me the deep smooth tone i'm looking for.

I got the very first set of duals from kooks when their system came out and it was freaking sexy,and talk about a show winning and sounding exhaust..yes it cost more than the tsp but it goes over the axles and makes good power..

I have the same exact setup on my 383, TSP 1 7/8" -> eBay true duals -> Magnaflow 14419s dumped. It's amazing, no sound clip. Maybe someday I'll take a clip, but it just always seems not to do it justice.

Good choice, you'll love it!

Thanks for the picture. Looks like it fit up there well. Planning to get to the shop Tuesday. May be able to get a video then

I just went to true duals, I did a 2.5 inch H pipe with Magnapacks and its awesome. It has better ground clearance than my y pipe set up had. The sound is 100% better also there is zero rasp and it has a great tone. Throttle response is also better, Im just mad I didnt go this route a long time ago. Ill try to get a few vids up soon.
