Default Anyone in Houston w/ True Duals

If so, where did you get them? Any banging, rattling, etc.

I have some on my car I just finished the engine so I'm still not diving it. But no bang under the car I did it like a mustang with 2-1/2" flow masters and an H pipe it sound bad ***. I'll send you some pic's over the weekend when I go to my parenst house and work on it. I'm also doing side exhaust two 3" coming out right before the tires. But I'm doing it right not all hanging on the bottom I cut into the body of the car and I'm molding the side spoliers. I want it to look like the lighting trucks kind of or the old vipers.

I have the Dr Gas Xpipe duals with Dynomax bullets on em dumping before the rear axle, very aggressive sounding with a low rumble at idle, then screams like a Nascar race car at full throttle <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

ramair: your setup sounds badass! I definitely want to see pics. I've never heard of anyone putting side exhaust on an ls1. Want to check it out when it's done.

Stripped ls1: Where did you get yours done? Any problems? My hooker y-pipe/exhaust keeps rattling and driving me nuts. I'm getting rid of it and want to get a setup like yours. I'm not as creative as ramair, so I need to find a shop that's done this before. I want something that's solid against the car so it doesn't bang or rattle, but has a deep rumble. If you don't mind, maybe I can come check yours out sometime.

Thanks for the info.

I have the hooker long tubes, but i just welded bullet mufflers on the end of the headers. Works great, its short sweet and to the point <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> .

Do they have any brackets holding them on, or are they just held up by the header bolts?
Did you add o2 bungs to put o2 simms or do you not use simms?

Well the shop that welded mine up went out of business, but they did good work so go figure. Anyways the exhaust is pretty close to the car, hasnt really caused any trouble til I put the TH350 in with custom torque arm mount and it had to be clearanced in a few places to avoid banging. It made a noticeable difference in power over my previous setups with any kind of ypipe config. I am always out cruising on the weekends and sometimes even during the week, just shoot me an email or something and we can hook up so you can check it out.
