Question True duals(idea)What you think???

In the last couple of month i just thinking wich way to go with my car to begin the investment.Well now i choose my way!!!My goal is mid 10s with an street car.I have the parts that are in my sign and a few parts sitted @ my home like Nx Maf Kit,12 bolt KTRE with 4.11 gears,28x10.5 15 M/T slicks,SLP line lock.
Tomorrow i going to order the Magic stick V3 with matching valve train and front skinnies.I going to use HPtunner.

Now here is the thing.I do search many time to find a true dual that sounds less for the street.I both a magnaflow x from a member here and is so hard to deside wish mufflers to use.So what think is using the carchemistry inserts 3" into the hedder collector them 3" tubing true a dynomax bullets.

Anyone did that before?If so,wish was the results?I want to make a quality exhaust sist. that give me both low Db sound and excellent flow!!!

I want to see what you guys with true dual think!!!!Thanks a lot.

I had planned on running collector inserts with no exhaust but after searcing around and talking to alot of people, here's what I came up with. They really don;t quiet the car down at all, they just take the edge off that sharp raspy noise. Secondly, everyone that mentioned the car chemistry inserts said that they cost them alot of ET unlike what CC says in there adds.

Do a search for true dual mufflers. I've heard a few set ups that are not real loud and still sound good. I can't remember what mufflers they used (might have been Spintechs). Also, when you build your exhaust try to make it so you can easily slide it off at the track. My car runs alot quicker with open headers vs the true duals.

I used 12" Dynomax bullets. The car is pretty damn loud esspecially on the bottle. Last week I did a quick nitrous run from 50-130mph on the highway and I was coming over a hill on decel and a cop was sitting there waiting for me. He said he could hear me even before I really got on it. He said it sounded good though and let me off with a verbal warning (78mph in a 50mph zone).

I remember a few years ago when it became popular to put these on or something similar. From what I can remember everyone lost power. Kind of obvious since it looks very restritctive.

It was pretty funny to read all the complaints. People talk so bad about one or two small kinks in a pipe then put something like that in there headers.
