Cool True Duals Or Muffler?????

OK im currently running the LM1 and this winter when the car goes away i plan to do pacesetters and ory and from what Iv'e read on here it's gonna be rasp city. So would you suggest I just get a new resonator like a borla xr1 or magnaflow or should I ditch the whole setup and get true duals??? Ig i do decide true duals do you think thee TSP true dual system is good or should I have a shop around here just fab me a completely custom one?? I live about 10 min. from speed inc. so I won't have a porblem having that done but I'd like to try and save some money by getting the TSP if it's not gonna be as close to as good as custom then I'm willing to spend the extra cash!

having custom true duals will be tucked up nicer and you can put any kind of mufflers/bullets you choose... any you don't have to worry about rasp with TD's

If you do end up going true dual, then I would go with a custom set up. I would think it would tuck up tigher then some thing prefabbed. With the rep. speed inc has im sure they could build you a kick *** set up

go custom TD's for sure. not only will it tuck up better than a pre-fabbed system, you'll have an unlimited choice of mufflers. plus you have the option to run an H-pipe

For the record, Your response wasnt there when I started typing. You must have gotten yours in just ahead of me. BTW, dont you read the threads around here, all of them have the same answer over and over. I think it would give "thread starter" reassurence. The more people agree, the better he will feel IMO.

ZING!

I got a cheap-custom true dual setup. I bought a universal X-pipe system from Summit and a couple Dynomax Bullet race mufflers. I just told them to weld it up. The clearance is about the same as the TSP system (maybe a tiny bit lower), but it sounds awesome and costed a lot less!
