Default Getting x-pipe w/ bullets done...how will it sound?

Well, i just added long tubes to my 98 ls1 camaro and decided to go with an X-pipe with dynomaxx bullets then dumps before the axle. The piping will be 2.5inches becuase i heard 2.5inches should be as good as 3inch and have better clearance. Im just wondering..... im getting my car back in a couple of days, how should it sound/performe/?

They come in 2, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2, and 4". Could be any of those sizes. 4" will be loud ***** though for sure!

was thinking of going with dynomax race bullets because of size, then i read where they only decrease the noise by 2-4 db's. so i knew that would be a waste of money. i'm going to try the summit glasspacks. they are cheaper and i know what a glasspack will do for sound.

It will sound badass. I have 3" dumped w/ the dynomax bullets and I love how it sounds. Its loud at idle, but not too loud. At WOT its wicked loud. Just keep your foot aout of it around cops and you'll be fine.

I want the X for a 99 SS, got one already on my modular motor, not interesetd in a "Y" at all, so what is the setup?

Jet hots into a TSP "X"? I looked at TSP's site and they don't list an "X" but maybe I couldn't find it. where did you get your "X"?

EDIT: I found them under "true dual" and just the "X" is 329, so they mate up to a Jet Coat Hooker style header right, they are pretty inexpensive and would last, TSP has Pacesetter headers, not sure about them?

I'm gonna be getting the true duals soon as well. I'm probably gonna go with the X system from TSP with the bullets. Who else sells the true dual system besides TSP?

...nobody, it's called the TSP rumbler X system, so TSP is the only place to get it, unless you pick it up used. Sorry. It's a pretty good price, and comes with nice band clamps vs those **** *** U-clamps.

It's def. a good price for what you get. Anyone know if it's a complete nightmare installing it? Looks like there would have to be a lot of adjusting it. Sorry to be a pain but also curious what the ground clearance would be like with the system vs. my SLP system cause I want to lower the car.

It was a complete bitch for me to install it, but I didn't have access to a lift. It would be a whole lot easier if you put it on with a lift.

It is not bad without a lift. Get the whole car jacked up with the suspension UNLOADED. I don't have a lift and I have over a coke can of clearance at the lowest point, IMO mounting the brackets was more of a PITA.
