True Duals I wanna change my setup again from the dual cutout ory and magnaflow I have to true dual's with flowmaster single chambers. I have pretty much made up my mind about the flowmasters, but I need to know where to find an x-pipe kit or h-pipe kit that has everything I need to install it. Also, which is better for power/sound, x-pipe or h-pipe?? I want a deep, throaty, mean sound to the exhaust, but don't know which I should get and where to get it from. I also wanna see who has the best deal on all this stuff. I am hopefully gonna be selling all of my stuff to help balance out the cost of all this. If anyone is interested in my old setup lmk.

flow masters flow like crap but if your set on them then it wold have to be custom. TSP has a good TD deal with your choice of muffler. the sweet thunder sounds like a classic muscle car.

x-pipe makes more power, H- pipe sounds better. But ive heard the power difference is minimal.

I heard only the 80-series crossflow muffler from flowmaster flows like crap and the 10 series single chambers are awesome. Should I just buy the generic x-pipe kit from summit racing?? Also, since my car is lowered, should I go with a 2.5" x-pipe and tubing??

Are you worried about having it too loud or something? I think that spiral flows are a good mix of noise/decibel leves between the TD's and the ORY setups. I am a spiral person myself.

Universal kits are nice, but I would still run it out the back, because it's going to drone and vibrate if you just dump it. Running out the back sounds much more refined, and wouldn't get on your nerves quickly.

I've been running open headers for almost 2 months now, so vibration and noise isnt an issue. I wanna dump the exhaust for 2 reasons, 1) Cost, less money to dump it vs. taking it out the back, 2) I like the look of camaros without tips. I think the h-pipe may be for me, as much as I have always heard people going with an x-pipe for duals. I want that bass, old school muscle car sound and it sounds like an h-pipe with single chambers is the way to go. Now as for size, will 2.5" suffice for me?? Also, could I install this on my own with hand tools??
i have pics and sound clips of my x set up and h with 1 chambers. Yes i have LTs as well
and 1 chamber do not flow like crap. You are thinking of 80 series those are crappy..
X= high pitched nascar sound.. Pulls up top.
H= low, deep, bassy tone. Lots of low end tq
