take a look at tsp's new setup they have out now. its only 419.99 w/free shipping for an intro price...its pretty sweet. set up only to work w/LT's already installed tho, according to jason. otherwise just ask around for a good exhaust shop near you, and once you figure out what mufflers you want to use (again, ls1sounds.com), go there and talk to them about getting one fabbed.

is it really worth while to go with a true dual exhaust system? How hard is it to get the pipes run out the back?

i think its worth it but its just not the most cost effective thing unfortunately. duals dumped are about ~500 bucks, duals out the back will run upwards to 1k, all depends on where and how the pipes are routed.

Bullet style mufflers offer the best clearance and if your car is lowered then I would recommend going to a 2 1/2 true dual system. I just ordered all my parts to make mine, 2 1/2 Dr Gas X Pipe with Spintech sportman low profile mufflers. I had Moroso Spiral Flows on my first set of duals but they were too loud for me so I'm going for a full size muffler and we'll see how it works out.

Does anyone know what the power difference is between a 2.5" or 3" dual exhaust system?
