Default Duals Sound?

Will having a dual exhaust with bullets and a x pipe make the exhaust pitch higher or lower? On the dr gas site they said that it raises the exhaust pitch. However I have read on here that people said that it makes the exhaust note sound lower. Which is it? Thanks for any info.

Compared to the single exhaust, its ALOT deeper. I had a Borla before, and I was amazed at how much the tone had changed. Much smoother as well... Heres a sound clip, but it doesnt really do the system justice...

The sound pitch will be a little higher under WOT.

Its a little bit deeper at idle.

What all does Verb have done to his car? Is it just the dual exhaust making it sound like that, or does he have a cam. The reason I ask is I'm thinking about getting an Fbody and I want it to sound exactly like that.

The true duals make the car sound like there is a mild cam in there.

an xpipe/duals is the best sounding exhaust period.
