True dual exhaust I'm looking for a true dual setup for my 2000 Trans Am. Something that goes over the axles preferably and that isn't too loud.
Anyone know of a sponsor that carries them?

Basanni is the only one I can think of, but it's costly.

anyway, the only way i could possibly think to have a QUIET td setup would be if you got 2'' or 2.5 at most and had an x run with a good set of mufflers plus cats from shorty headers or manifolds maybe lt's....idk what your standard of quiet is....i personally have 3'' X pipe with lt's no cats and jus a set of straight through bullets and i htink that is to quiet so your gonna have to go on ls1sounds and try and figure your level of sound out and get back to us for anyone to give you a better response....you might as well forget the money on the td's and jus get a cutout with stock exhaust if you want quiet
haha is it even possible for td's to be quiet? it seems like every post on here about them goes, i want power, oh yea, i want it to be loud as **** too... hahah good luck with them getting quiet, i would just have a shop go fab you a custom setup

What is it with you guys and thinking duals can't be quiet!
Come on, one of you must be able to figure this out
Corevettes and Mustang all have duals stock from the factory as do many Jaguars and BMW's. Yet they are all quiet.
All you need is suitable muffling - EASY
If you plan to run them out the back then there's plenty of room to make TD's quieter than a stock catback!!!!!!!!!!

Although if you don't want it too loud is the sound that important?
If not then there are plenty of catbacks which still sound good, refined and will perform as well (BHP terms) on most bolt on/cammed setups.
You really need to be pushing past 450rwhp (Mustang Dyno or 480rwhp Dynojet) to really see any odds in bhp between them. - on a like for like basis of course.

however what the hell is the point of dropping 1000 $ on a x pipe setup with more restriction then a stock cat back just so you can say you have td's yet your losing hp to restriction....

I'm all about quiet myself too, don't let these guys get you down. My setup is pretty tame right now, TD's, cats, bullets, under axle and out the rear. You can check the link in my sig or the TD's FAQ for more info. It's quieter than with no cats and dumps, but still outroars most catbacks.
I'm ditching the duals and going even QUIETER. I'm building a setup right now with a cutout and a STOCK catback. It's going to catch the cocky *** kids in this area a little offguard when this stockishly quiet car puts about 7 busses on their Mustang GT's.

I was thinking about using a cutout and the stock catback. There is a company in CA called ATP Turbo, they make a cutout that operates via boost. I was thinking about the same idea, just using vacuum instead of boost.
BTW, love the avatar...
There are three reasons why I don't want it to be that loud:
1. I don't want nor need tickets for excessive noise. I got one with my LM when I lived in NY.
2. I have a son who is 16 days old as of today. I don't want something that's going to keep him up during car rides.
3. I'd like to NOT have interior resonance. That's truly paramount to me.
I've got a couple of good ideas now, thank you all.

But the fact remains, you can have a very free flowing yet very quiet dual setup on an Fbody if you so wished.
Lt's, into high flow 3" core cats, neck down to 2.5" into X pipe then into some long 4"+ bullet mufflers, over the axle into larger free flowing bullets 6" body or bigger, or into some chambered mufflers. This would be pretty quiet and refined, yet very free flowing. I guess as a bench mark think SLP Dual Dual loud. There's even room that you could add some Powerstick chambered mufflers in there instead of straight pipe between the main mufflers.

Does it resonate inside the car? That is the question. I don't really care all THAT much how loud it is, just don't want it to be deafening inside. Outside, it's okay if it sets off car alarms and scares small children.
