alright, i got my GC issue figured out, im going to put some turn ups before the mufflers over the X and that will move the mounting point for the mufflers up a few inches, but leave the X in the same place to clear the TQ arm. anyways here is a little clip.

Has anyone ever done those metallic cats from magnaflow on their car with TSP true duals? The small metal core round ones? My friend has em with his longtubes and cutout and it sounds really badass. Just wondering if anyone had ever done this.
Thanks guys.

Once I got my system, I looked it over and just couldn't see where a set of cats would fit before the mufflers.........I am sure anything is possible, I just didn't see how in that case.

I clicked on your link/picture in your sig and you aren't running TSP true duals.........so I guess I am missing your point:
Performance:
~Kooks 1-7/8" stainless LT headers
~Kooks 3" to 4" stainless ORY
~4" Dynomax bullet in I pipe
~3" McCord electric cutout
~SLP Dual/Dual catback
Totally different setup then what they guy was asking about. :shrug:

Y'all are missing the point. I am not the one trying to do this. I sold the car that had the TSP's on it. I am just saying that when I had it, I looked into doing it and short of spending a ton of money to have an exhaust shop fab up everything (because the TSP's are an exact fit for the small spaces under an F-Body), it wasn't a simple thing to do. I would have rather just had the same exhaust shop fab up a complete set of duals, complete with cats, x-pipe, etc.

link was in his sig. below his sig pic. the point here is, it can be done. and if you cant do it yourself, then take it to a shop and have it done. its not a difficult process and the exhaust shop shouldnt charge more than 50 bucks to do it. if they do, leave and find another one.

I heard the further back your mufflers are the better bottom end power you get is that true? also if mufflers are under the car and i just extend the pipes to the back underneath the rear axle will it change how loud it is or the tone at all?

As for clamps vs welds.......I don't need to do either. It is irrelevant to me since I no longer own the car with the TSP's
