Mass produced full length dual exhaust

Im making 570 to the ground and the dual 3" to 2.5 would be more than enough to support my needs, I would acually expect to lose a little low end power. I am interested more for the sound than any extra power I might gain.
I vote for the 3" to 2.5 set up, and yes I would be a buyer if its nicely done.

look at the new flowmaster single chamber fad. a few months ago, a handful of people on this site had them and most people didn't even know what they were. now everyone wants single chambers. take it all with a grain of salt.

I would also agree on the H pipe over the X pipe, all the H or X pipe does is equalize exhaust pulses in each side of the system. A simple H pipe is all that is needed and it would lower cost and ease the installation/fit...IMO

"good sound" is not definable. i'm sure there are people out there that think civics with a fart can sound great.
take that sticky with a grain of salt. 9 out of 10 people on this site with true duals have an X-pipe. what do you think is going to get recommended more and praised more? "the best exhaust is the one you have," remember that. very few are honest and actually research this stuff. most just jump on the bandwagon and get whatever everyone else has. look at the new flowmaster single chamber fad. a few months ago, a handful of people on this site had them and most people didn't even know what they were. now everyone wants single chambers. take it all with a grain of salt.

3" X 2.5 over the passengers side with Flowmaster 1 chambers after the axle. make it universal though so people with stock manifolds can use it as well as people with headers. like make one that bolts up to the stock manifolds in either O/R or catted and one that is a little shorter that bolts up to collectors in either O/R or catted.

I'd be interested in 3" to 2.5" over the axle with bullets or mufflers.(You could offer both) But i would prefer it to come without tips.
It all depends on the price of the setup.

i chose 3x3.. but you should have an option for 3H3.. h pipes tend to sound better, and though people claim that x pipes add a lot more power, i read an article awhile back that tested the x pipe versus the h pipe, and in all the tests they came out about even.. the x pipe may have been better by 1 hp MAX.. i would rather have a nicer sounding exhause over 1 hp.. oh yea, and bullets or mufflers are cool
