Default installed PaceSetter LT's and TSP True Duals

just installed them last night..well finished last night, actually started the day before but 3 hours into the install it started to rain so i had to wait. took my car (open headers) to a exhaust shop in my town to get the rest of the exhuast welded on and oh ya my car sounds mean as hell...i am just running the pacesetter LT's and true duals, no cats...the exhuast really woke my car up (obviously) and i just cant get over how great it sounds...the install went rather smoothly...i didnt have to beat, knotch, force anything in....the egr, air, hookups were kinda a pain, actually those took the most time but for the most part everything went in A-ok...have alot of scratchs on my arms from the install though...and as far as clearence goes...i can forget bout lowering my car, but aint a big deal to me...

anyhow, im up in killeen,tx visiting my G/F till saturday, so if you guys/gals see a silver SS rumbling up and down 190 with a big smile on the drivers face, thats me!

You have plenty of clearance. My tsp duals are sitting in the garage and my car is lowered. Looks like it will work.

Looks good. Just like mine! The sound is awesome but I wish it had a little more ground clearance. I had an exhaust shop weld flanges on the headers and duals so that I can take the whole exhaust off easy and no leaks!

You're gonna have to a custom fabrication, but you can fit cats. They seem to have to be placed pretty far back though.

i just put my tsp kit on my hookers and with the prokit and 3"exhaust it sucked ***. i have already ground both the tips down flat on the bottom. put the exhaust on thursday. half hour later got a 2 tickets for "defective mufflers". lol swapped out my prokit for some stock ss springs last night. had some qa1's go in to. it is great now. the only thing about the whole kit is it just isnt as loud as i thought it was going to be. its actually pretty quit. but its got a deep drone to it. nothing like i have heard before.

Dont' worry, I have to leave mine at stock height too due to the roads around here. I have Pacesetter LTs and ORY and I still am able to scrape the Y on some dips in the roads around here.

It looks like you have it setup well and have some great clearance! Looks nice!
