Default True dual question

So I am about at my wits end with my y-pipe caressing the floorboard and am thinking about getting some true duals. My only beef is that I want them to go out the back and not be dumped. Is it possible to achieve this feat and still not be super loud? What are the quietest mufflers I could put on it? I just for SURE do not want rasp and would prefer to be as quiet as possible. I am currently running FLP long tubes thru ORP's and 2OTL and it is pretty tame just idling but gets loud with my foot in it.

I do believe any true duals besides bassani can be made to make it go out the back instead of dumps. Bassani makes their dual out to the back. I have bassani TDs btw.

Rynofasho, yes you can have true duals the goes over the axle and out the rear from beneath the bumper in the stock location and not be overly loud.

duals may be loud at first, but youll definately get used to it. i know with my duals that just by turning the bullets at a 45 degree angle quieted down my exhaust a lot, to much actually. So id imagine duals out the back wouldnt be that loud at all. Well, theyll still be loud to the people outside the car.

Ryno, if you want some good duals out the back, just sell your Y-pipe setup and buy some TSP duals, then have Chad and Andy or a shop run them over/under the axle out to the back.

I'd get the TSP duals with the spiral flow's too, as they are the quietest ones they offer. Another set of them or a set of bullets in the under/over axle extensions would help make it a little more quiet.
