Talking UPDATE!!!! Bought TSP Stainless True Duals

After research, reviews and sound clips, I finally made my decision going true dual and once I saw that Texas Speed released their Rumbler X system in stainless steel, I was automatically sold. Placed my order last weekend and came in today. Can't wait to install these and hear how it sounds, I'll update this thread with more pics and sound clips once installed, should be in a couple of weeks.

Here's a few pics of the kit, overall great quality and amazing product.

I just put that on my '02 SS last weekend and I LOVE IT!!! Great sound, but you have to keep in mind it will create a lot more sound on the inside of the car too since they are dumped. I don't mind it at all. Just awesome.

Came with the crappy single bolt slip-fit clamps so bought a set of double bolt stainless lap joint band clamps from Jegs to seal better.

I really wanted TSP TD kit but didn't want to deal with that much noise. Congrats and do a burnout for me!

Got the TD's installed along with a dyno tune. I fell in love as soon as I turned the car on, it's loud but a real good loud, not obnoxious. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if they were louder lol. There's drone in it but a good drone, I'm not annoyed at all and it's tolerable even for a daily like mine.

The sound is so beautiful, it now sounds like an American Muscle car, puts my ypipe setup to shame, I don't even miss it. Cruising speeds is nice but WOT is where it's at. I felt the difference in throttle response especially with the help of the dyno tune. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with the setup and will recommend them to anyone.

The ground clearance isn't awful, I put it through couple tests (driveway, speedbumps, etc.); no scrapes so far which is a plus. I will have some pics and clips by tomorrow, stay tuned.

Here's a teaser clip of the set up at cold start. Raining outside so can't do the proper clips I wanted to do but will come soon.


Here's a few pics of the ground clearance......

Thank you for taking the time to do a write up on the exhaust and provide all of the pics and video! I'm very glad to hear that you're pleased with it. I love the sound too! After going through several y-pipe exhaust systems on my own personal set up it wasn't until I went to the true duals that I finally got the sound and performance I was looking for. As far as the single bolt clamp, to properly seal those you really need an impact or a large breaker bar to get them to clamp down tight. I will see if we can't offer a dual bolt stainless clamp in the future as an option. BTW, the sound is much deeper and louder than the video shows. I can't wait to hear a good clip.

Thanks,
Lonnie

Lonnie, as someone else who has owned (and LOVED) the TSP duals, PLEASE include the Torctite stainless 3" band clamps in the kit.

I think I literally speak for everyone when I say the get binned immediately for the non-stepped band clamps.
