Default TSP's X-pipe kit

I was thinking about changing out my exhaust (i currently have a flowmaster cat-back) when I stumbled across the TSP's X-pipe (http://www.texas-speed.com/item_deta...ProductID=1241). I think that would be a great thing to have, but I have some concerns as well. First, how big of a problem would this be if I wanted to upgrade my driveshaft later on? Also, I currently have BMR boxed sub frame connectors, would these cause fitment issues?

Thanks

Your SFC should be just fine. The ones that cause a problem are the SLP or double diamonds, etc, that have cross bracing. I have Speed Inc's 3" true duals with boxed BMR SFC's, BTW.

I have the SLP SFC'S and don't have any clearance issues with the TSP true duals. You'll love 'em. They sound awesome and perform well too. I wasn't expecting to feel any difference, but it feels like I picked up a little low end compared to my ORY and LM setup. I ended up replacing the bullet muffler with some sweet thunder chambered mufflers, and I'm glad I did. They sound great.

I just ordered the TSP TD's along with some BMR tubular SFC. TSP said there would be no problems at all. I can't wait to get it. I have heard nothing but good things about it. One of the guys I know said this is probably one of the best sounding exhaust he has heard.

You know true duals sound badass on an LS1 when Mustang guys give the thumbs up.

It fits on headers: pacesetter, jet hot, hooker, Kooks, QTP...maybe others as well ( you can adjust the pipes to fit various long tube brands.)

Pretty much what skippy said They could probably be fabricated to even fit up to stock manifolds if someone wanted to pay the right exhaust shop to do it. But they are a direct bolt-on to the longtube headers listed above. Feel free to call us with any other questions you might have, or to place your order!

I don't suppose you guys make/will make a kit that continues the piping to go over the axel. I'm kinda nervouse to go to a local exhaust shop, as the one that I went to made me a shitty y-pipe.
