Thumbs up Car is finally gettin Tru duals

Well after alot of debating on what to do and alot of advice from u guys, i finally got the car in the shop, gettin tru duals, x-pipe w/metallic spun high flow cats from magnaflow (emissions... ) And dynomax bullets. If the tone isnt deep enough then ill be switching to flowmaster 1chambers cause i have heard they have a very deep tone. Anyhow, I will post results on Thursday.

Congrats. I'm sure you'll love the system. After having my duals I'll never go back to a y-pipe.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the cost of that set-up? I'm also thinking of going TD and live in an emissions state.

Ok well i got the car back from the shop today and i fell in love with my car again, lol. I love the sound, its actually louder than my ORY setup and i have cats on my new setup . Also there is no rasp whatsoever and the tone is very deep. I also feel alot more low end torque than before while maintaining the same high end torque.. i couldnt be happier with my setup. Ill post vids tomorrow or sometime on friday or saturday. Also, the price was alot less than i thought it would be. PM me for info on the total price and everythin if u are interested and are in this area (northern VA/D.C.)

And also, thanks to Tim at EAD performance for recommending the magnaflow high flow cats to me. He was absolutely right about how the cats barely take away from sound. AND i dont have any more smell and can pass emissions and stay legal.

Ya, i slept all day cause i got 2 hours of sleep in 38 hours prior to today so i wasnt able to post pics and what not, but i will for sure tomorrow or sat.

Ya i can tell a bit of drone, not heavy, but to be honest i kinda like it... its so loud and deep now. I used to be kinda jealous of mustangs and the tone to their exhaust but now i just get looks from EVERYONE when i pass em by. People literally turn around and start walking backwards, lol. Its great.

Congrats on the install! Duals are awesome! They sound great and perform even better.

So you got them ran over the axle and out the back? Any chance of getting some pics up?
