True duals over the axle out through a CME... well finally, after weeks of planning and research, my project is complete. qtp headers, to 3 in custom X-pipe, dual 2.5 in out through 2 magnaflow bullets, then to CME
sound is quiet, but with a deep rumble, inside teh car no resonance, and i can now talk with my girl in the car. definate increase in throttle response, and my "Butt Dyno" told me i pick up some lost low end torque and hp.
this system was built entirely by pre-bent pipes, then cut and welded. It has clamps on the headers, and again near the axle, so if i need to change anything, the system just drops down. Clears slp DD subframe connectors, and no lost ground clearance
here are the pics
enjoy

Well, at least not when you get on it. It is fairly quiet just cruising around. Thread Starter

Haven't got on it yet? Dooood...let 'er rip. My parents heard it from a mile away inside their house.
Nice, i just finished up my setup wich is the exact identical 3" to X to 2.5" both over the passenger side. Although I used the 6" round magnaflows instead of the 4", and without the CME yet. I know youre thinking it must be pretty lame with the 6" rounds, but really only at idle. I wanted to give my neighbors a break after putting up with cold winter starts warm ups when I had dumped 12" dynomax bullets on my old TDs.
Anyway, props on a nice looking setup. I assume you did the work yourself? How did you hang your rubber isolators in the rear to the fram rails? I need to revisit that part on my setup.

well at first, i had the 6in (3in 3 out) because i was going to do 3in all the way out. But even with pounding the floor, and the BMR piece dual 3 wouldn't fit. So i had to retrun that for the 4in. as far has hanging them, we welded on new hangers.
also, the cme tips start as 2.25, so we cut the inlets on the CME tips up a few inches, so it is 2.5
good luck with your set up
I love mine I really enjoy my TD's over the axle with 4" round magnaflows. There is no drone and very little resonance. Mild at cruise and loud at WOT. Puts a smile on my face everytime I hear them.

i think that it was your car the i heard that made me go for the magnaflows, your X-pipe also a magnaflow? i had the same one, but we decided to just make one
looks good though
