My 3" true duals setup with x pipe and 2 Moroso spirals dumped at the axle only cost me $340 and that was including install.

2.5" duals with no crossover here and I don't think it sounds like **** at all. Only complaint is between 2500-2700 rpms, it sounds like a tuba. Don't know why, doesn't really bother me that much, just something I noticed. I've only heard one other car around me that I thought was even remotely close as nice as my exhaust. Like somebody already said above though, sound is very subjective. Take a look at the honda guys, they splooge their pants for those fart tube sounds.

That looks awesome but im sure it wasn't cheap either. I have a functioning exhaust now, It just needs to be tweaked and cut and welded some to make it fit right. Over the axle piece is rubbing on frame rail or rear ( 9" has bigger tubes) and making horrible noise and the y is very close to the torque arm mount. I figured if I were gonna pull it off to adjust it I might as well just go with td's while its off and sell my LM1 catback. but I don't want to dump $700 into a great looking exhaust like yours either. Im going to look into the prices of a custom set-up though as you suggested because no one is going to pre-fabricate exactly what im looking for.

Back then our iron engines ran 'big' 2" duals, as time went on guys started using 'huge' 2 1/2" lol.
At higher rpms it got raspy without crossover pipe.
yeah but also more interested in my specific application, I was just using the old muscle cars as a reference. the bigger the exhaust I understand the ability for the rasp to occur becomes more possible but the muffler I also feel plays a role in that.

In stainless? The mandrel bends and piping is not cheap, ive bought it before (think it was around $16 a foot for t304) plus roughly what...$200 for 2 mufflers and a decent stainless x pipe?

any pictures of your set-up? Ill be the first one to agree that sound is very subjective and that has been proven hundreds of times on this forum board alone. A lot of people hate the LM1 but I think for a catback only car it sounds amazing but that's my opinion.

Thanks for the videos too guys, I appreciate everybodys input.

Yes that is stainless. The 2 Moroso spirals were $45 each. $90 for mufflers and $250 for the 3" piping and x-pipe. I would check out your local exhaust shops and get pricing. That's what I did.
