Default TSP True Duals

I install the true duals last night and gave up after 6 hours. There wasn't anyplace to secure the dynomax muffler hangers and I drilled two holes in the back of the rear seat pan. I got pissed off about midnight and wanted to drive the car. So I took the mufflers off because they were dragging to low and took the car for a spin with only headers and x pipe. Talk about loud. I am sure I pissed off a lot of sleeping people. Oh well. I then took it to an exhaust shop this morning and dropped it off. They were told to face the mufflers out a little bit, spot weld the clamps and do a full weld anywhere that was needed. I can honestly say the clearance is pretty good. I lost about an inch or so, but the car vibrates quite a bit on the inside. Great sounding system and designed well. I also emailed TSP today telling them they should have a write up for the install and made some suggestions for marking the pipes for angles, rotation, and slip on distance. I will take pics of it this weekend.

My only problem now is the car is having a lot of trouble idling with the new heads/cam and not a new tune.

There isnt going to be a hole in the car already for the hangers. Just drill a hole like you did and lift the mufflers up as high as you can get them without hitting the car and mount the brackets using a bolt and a lockwasher and nut or a locknut.

I don't need to worry about it now. I took it to an exhaust shop this morning and let them weld it.
