Which is really were you want the power in the first place.

the inside of my X looks just like you posted
for the price as compaired to comperable catbacks the TSP duals are good for an economical setup. however if i could do it again i'd of spent the money on something thats higher quality and better fiitting.

Which is really were you want the power in the first place.V6 Bird, Does our X-pipe setup really make your life that bad?? You consistantly harp on the setup in every thread and its the same complaints every time. What justifies all of your negative posts, one after another, time after time. We have consistantly had good feedback on this product and many happy customers who enjoy the gained power and sound.
We build this system because most customers dont want to sit there with a chop saw, time and Dr Gas X to build their own system and still not be garunteed to fit, nor does the average customer want to spend the money on a custom system that is produced in a storage building. This system has been PROVEN to fit on a lift or on jackstands in a driveway, this system has been PROVEN to make excellent power on stock displacement motors all the way up to strokers. A customer called last week to tell me that his 427 setup that uses our Rumbler-X True Dual system made 529rwhp and 650rwtq and he was nothing less than happy with the system (Daily Driver). Bottom line is, it has and will fit with good clearance and make good power, the key is just to take your time installing it and the more help you have, the better.

I love the set up, made great power, and went on better then I thought after reading so many post about fitment issues, especially since i'm lowered 2 inches.

But this is between you and Mike(who hasn't worked with me in almost two years, but does have extensive knowledge in duals on these cars), so I'll get back on the sideline.

What do those of you with these true duals think about that ground clearance? on par with the average (stock ride height)? hopefully i'll get time to finish bolting it up tomorrow and actually drive it.

Well, I actually installed mine on a hoist at my brothers shop, but the I was doing something to under the car in the pics, but I can't remember. They actually had been on for quite a while in the pics i posted there. As for x-pipe to TQ arm clearance, w/ my springs i'm running ( eibach sportlines ) the x-pipe just touches the TQ arm when the car is on jack stands, I just have a jack under the car on one side in the pics which is twisting the back end and is also why it is so close to the back of the TQ arm. When there is weight on the rear tires, there is maybe a 1/2 inch of clearance between the Tq arm and X.

The only reason I say that is because your right around where I'm sitting for clearance at stock height.
Looks like you've got about 4"~4.25" at the losest point, which in my book is pretty good.
Cause honestly a 4" speedbump, is one mean freakin speed bump, and shouldn't be that common.
Yeah yeah, I know, driveways and such but still, I think it looks good.

Myself and a friend installed mine, wasn't bad at all. We fully welded mine to ensure it didn't leak. It's a love it or hate it type of exhaust system. I either get a thumbs up, or dirty looks. Can't wait to hear how it sounds on my new motor... higher compression & 230+ duration cam vs. stock internals. For what I paid for it... I am quite happy with it.

I finally finished it up. drove it around the other night a bit, then today i had to wrap some heater hose around it to keep it from banging, as well as put all the carpet back down. haven't driven it again yet, so i don't know if it worked, but it didn't seem to be banging when it was just sitting there anymore. it was super loud though, that is for sure. i'm hoping to make it to the track tomorrow, we'll see how i like it after an hour drive each way to actually hear it.
