Default Ok, time for true duals with x pipe.

Ok, I'm going to start ordering my parts, and wanted one last final round of opinions on what to get.

I have Hooker longtubes right now, I wanted to add a X pipe, and 4 mufflers. Two mufflers before the x, and two after.

What mufflers do you guys recommend?

I was thinking of the dynomax bullets up front, and the borlas in the back. I wonder if the mufflers up front will die quick because of the extra heat.

What's a good place to buy the Dr Gas X kit? Is there a better kit?

This will be a 3" system.

Thanks!!

Is there a reason you want to run 4 mufflers?

If you put the right mufflers out back it won't be as loud as you think.There are alot of mufflers out there that are alot quieter than the bullets.

The x pipe you can either get from Dr Gas or Justin Sutton who posted up above. Those are the only places i know of to get the x pipe. The borla mufflers you can probably get from your exhaust shop when they weld together and put up your exhaust. Or Jegs sells them and probably summit.
