Default advise on true dual's please.

well it's not on weather or not to get them because I'm going to. I recelntly pick up some sweet thender's from another member on here. what I'd like advise on is weather to install them now and then this fall/winter do a header install and just have it modifidy to hook into the true dual's. I know I'm going to be getting header's and am going to install them myself. what I don't know is how hard will it be to have the header's hooked up to the true dual's after the header install. will it be worth runnig 1/2 a summer with a nice exhaust. (I love a good sounding exhaust and it's stock now) or should I just be more patentian? thank's for the advise.

I say wait and do it all at once, that what I did. Prolly will save a little money this way to (only messing with the exhaust once). I installed my LT's, drove it home with open header, then the next week I trailered it to the muffler shop and got my duals fabbed up.

I'd wait til I got the headers installed becuase it'll cost more to refab and I'd just rather do it all at once. easier for everyone and easier on the pocketbook.

If you want a quick fix on that wait, just have a single cut out for 30 bucks and wait to do the whole install at once.

Definitely do it all at once. It makes things alot easier. To go from manifolds to LT's, that would take quite a bit of tweaking of the true duals to fit well. Plus, you don't want to go around with open headers for too long. My car is my daily driver, and I went on open headers for a week. It was fun, but it kinda got old the last couple days.

I totally agree. That is what I had prior to getting my duals. Sounds good and will give you a power increase.
