Default True Duals or not?

Well I went to the exhaust shop and I destroyed the exhaust pipe that goes over the axle. I have Pacesetter headers, TSP Y no cats, and unknown catback. I am thinking about buying TSp True Duals with flowpro Twisters or Moroso Spiral Flow. Was wanting to know how people were enjoying there TDs. I drive the car when it rains or to race and I would like to not go deaf so I am choosing those Mufflers. I would like to knwo anyones thoughts.

I was in a shop car for Fast Tech with a T Rex Cam and it sounded great. But Later in the night my ears were aching like hell. i want to run it out the back but I want to dump it first (I like the old school muscle car sound).

sweet thunders sound ******* mean at wot and got a nice little tone during daily driving. a bolt on ls1 will not be terrifyingly loud during normal driving but if you plan on a cam in the future youll probably want to run them out the back.

I have a custom dual setup on my LT1 and I will never go back to a single exhaust system again!

Save up for something over the axle, it's much more refined.

I was going to run dumped first then go under the axle. I really don't want to lower the car anytime soon.
