Default Lanes duals are here!

Just wanted to announce that i just got my Lanes True duals, with 12 flo-pro twisters!! That combined with my QTP's should be a hell of a setup! I am just wanting to know if there are any tricks or tips i should be aware of before installing these pieces of art underneath my car! I have read many guides, as well as JRP's, but a little bit of advice from people with similar setups never hurts! Thanks for any info!

The true dual install is pretty straight forward. Lane's directions are pretty good. Don't forget to flip the fuel lines up to allow more room to tuck the duals up more.

The header install isn't bad either, just takes time. A sawzaw came in handy for me to get the old exhaust off. For my Pacesetters, I didn't have to tilt the motor to the side or remove the steering column to slide the headers up. They fit very well. I would think your QTP's would be the same. Good luck. You're gonna love that setup.

give the neighbors some earplugs!
I've seen some people that had to use a jackstrap/come-a-long style setup to pull the duals back onto the LTs, although I doubt this will be nessisary since they are new.
Anyways you are going to love them. They fit and tuck up soo nice.

www.Texas-Speed.com has a nice true dual setup aswell.. Called the Rumbler-X I believe. Quite a few people on this board running them, and I've heard alot of good things about them.

TSP has a good setup, but after seeing Lanes firsthand, you can't beat it. I've been tempted to sell my GMMG/ory and buying one of his setups from time to time.

Eh, your duals aren't that much louder in the car. Shitload louder outside, but not much louder inside. They ride in the car one day a week right now. I may just sell the setup and make some money. Know anyone that wants a GMMG/Kooks ory thats mated up? LOL.

*please do not advertise for a non-sponsor.*

cyphur-- I havent really thought about the inside noise, I'd be willing to bet with 18" twisters it would be quieter inside, and the 12s arent that bad either, no real drone or anything around 2k...
