looks good, got any sound clips?

 

Thats nicely done. how much?

 

Maybe this weekend, cancelled my normal internet. Doing this on a Droid.

Don't want to give out an exact quote on their work. I provided the muffler and tips, and my total out of pocket cost for them, the rest of the parts, and the install was under $500.

 

Got the same thing, gotta order the mufflers and xpipe next check, cant blow everything in one sitting lmao, ended up getting if for 216! ALOT of Mandrel bent pipes for that price, very excited!

 

did you run a animal over?!

 

i dont run a h or x pipe, i know some people are going to argue with me but it wont be a noticable difference. and if you ever have to drop your tranny then the x or h pipe will be in the way.

 

Actually there is a noticible difference. Here's an example. I'm not sure why anyone would route their exhaust in such a way that it gets in the way of their trans removal, but if you need some examples that show true dual setups that aren't in the way of that process then just scroll up a few posts.

 

agreed....

also, most (all) TD systems done right will have clamps of some sort, right off the headers and a few hangar bolts, and the entire exhaust will drop out. i know with my TSP TD's, i could have the entire exhaust system off in 10 minutes, provided the clamps cooperated and pipes didnt seize together with carbon and ****.

the longest it ever took me was 30 minutes because it was on the car over winter and some of the joints started rusting a little. i coated the pipes inside and out where the slip joints with antiseize and never had a problem again.

 

i know its been dyno proven to make a difference, what and extra 5hp at the most? 5 hp is not noticable, just saying.

 

my TDs come apart very easy, just decided not to run a h or x pipe because it wouldnt make much of a difference.

 

To those of you who have it piped under the axle on each side, do you have a problem with the pipes breaking when you lift the car up and the rear end rests at its lowest spot? I called a place and asked if they could pipe my duals out the back going under the axle and he said that if I ever had to lift the car up the pipes would break.

 

False. That '5hp' it gains you stock will be much more when you start making bigger numbers. Scavenging isn't a myth.

 

This is looking inside my LPP x-pipe. It shouldn't look like that should it? The lip that is. I'm assuming it should be all nice and smooth.





And in this pic you can see the actual x-pipe. What do you think of how they merge it? Good/bad?

 

Well after not driving my car for a while due to my Loudmouth being too loud after the cam install and moving back to Cali, I finally decided to get a true dual system. It was done by Rogers Custom Exhaust Shop in Fontana, CA. Amazing work and even more amazing sound, also the clearance is better then stock! Just what I was looking for, QUIET. The system is stainless steel and mostly mandrel bent. Here's a list of mods - LS6 Intake, LS7 lifters, Stage 2 243's, PPTB, MS4 Cam, Pacesetter LT's, Magnaflow X pipe, Maganflow Dual/Dual Muffler. The car is a 2000 SS. Now, on to the goods...



Overall I am COMPLETELY SATISFIED with the way it sounds!

 

X-Ray those lips will cause some distortion of the sound and divert exhaust flow a little (possibly causing rasp). If I were you I'd get a dremmel and grind the lips down to make them as smooth as possible.

 

TSP True duals 3" pipes and X pipe w/ cats

 

any sounds clips of yours?? Curious to how it sounds w/cats. i have this same setup without cats

 

Not at the moment...i'm currently doing a rebuild because i lost oil pressure but when it's done i will. I got a clip without cats and mufflers though if your interested, lol

 

The rear o2s are just there to plug the bunghole

 

Okay so I have LPP true duals with LPP headers but I am lowered on Strano Springs and KYB AGX's. I want to keep the true duals because they sound absolutely sick at WOT but I have NO CLEARANCE what-so-ever. I had to get a 1.5" spacer to put underneath the rear springs to give me more clearance but I sacrificed my handling. I want to take the spacer out but I'm not sure how to go about this.
