Default American Racing Headers over the axle True-Duals!

So, I finally have some pics for you guys...
I picked the car up today and couldn't be happier with the final product

First and foremost, I want to thank Nick and the the guys @ American Racing Headers for the amazing work they did on my car, as well as Kara again for all of the pics!

The set-up is as follows:
-1 7/8" primary ARH headers w/o fittings to 3" x-pipe, neck down to 2 1/2" and into two Magnaflow bullets, up over the axle and into two more 2 1/2" ARH supplied bullets and out through dual tips which I supplied. The entire set-up is stainless steel and sounds great!

I really couldn't be happier with the fit/finish and sound, it's amazing!
The sound is very very clean, deep, refined and not loud and obnoxious, EXACTLY what I wanted and could have hoped for in every way!

The car feels totally different, it pulls like crazy and definitly picked up A LOT of rwhp! I'll be dropping the car back off for a tune on the next day available and post final #'s.


BTW, Car is FILTHY underneath as I got caught in some rain when dropping the car off, ugggghh!

Now for the pics:

To do it this nice and the right way something like this really should be done on an in-house case by case basis. I believe that's the only way for it to suite you perfectly and come out the best possible.

I'll get some sound clips asap...it started raining just as I got her in the garage

That's awesome! Looks like they did a nice a clean job! Can't wait to hear clips! How's the gound clearance.

This is the first time I have seen duals utilize 2 sets of mufflers. Speaking of which those really aren't bullets they are more of a tube muffler, much larger than regular bullets...I don't know what they're actually called, but I bet the sound is very refined. With that much muffling its got to be somewhat quiet when you're not on it, and nice and deep when you are on it.

NICE!!!

Where is this place located?? If I ever do TDs, guess where I'm going. All 304, and I can even get turndowns instead of tips?! This is what makes the "case by case basis" more than worth it!

I bought my headers from ARH at the same time and had a pretty specific criteria.
Honestly, your best bet is to contact Nick @ American Racing Headers direct for pricing. It could vary quite a bit for different set-up's and goals such as cats vs. no cats, muffler choice, number of mufflers, etc.

You could PM me if you'd like for contact info

he wanted a quieter exhaust. a bullet is not enough. he wanted to tone it down a bit and make sure the tone is clean and raspless. he didn't use cats so he had to make up for it somewhere.

Looks amazing, I'm jealous.

1 question: Why did you get 1 7/8 instead of 1 3/4 when you weren't going to go 3" all of the way back?

Yeah, there have been a couple of listings in the sponsor section, but I forget which companies.
