Default Nice true dual setup using short torque arm



True dual running underneath the mwc cat back cross member (great clearance) WITH dual cutouts on it. I've reached out to MWC for more details on this car. I know short torque arms and true duals are a concern for some but this setup is very interesting. Looks like a dual/dual magnaflow in the back.

I don’t get the purpose of true duals into a muffler and having cutouts. Why not just do the cutouts as is and a single pipe catback.

I was posting more so for the fact that this true dual merge actually fits underneath the MWC catback cross-member which means the MWC double drop isn't needed in this case so even more clearance.

Not sure if those pipes are 2.5" or 3.0", but I'm mainly interested in more photos showing clearance, especially with the cutouts up front there as it's hard enough to get a 3" pipe coming off the headers to have good clearance, let alone a cutout.

But to get back to your original point, putting true duals into a dual/dual muffler kind of defeats the purpose of having true duals.

Not really, it's going thru an X-pipe, so whether or not the two tailpipes go thru one or two mufflers it would still have the benefit of two full pipes carrying it out. It would not have the sound of an individual bank per pipe with the X-pipe.
