true dual setup....opinions needed
true dual setup....opinions needed what's up guys,
i am getting set to throw some duals on my car and was wondering what you guys think of this setup. i was planning on going with ceramic coated hooker longtubes, a catted x pipe, and Moroso spiral flows dumped before the axle.
the only area that i need some advice in is which cats and which x-pipe to go with. i am probably going to go with 2.5 inch pipes the whole way. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and welcomed.

If you want 2.5" pipes then your best bet is probably going to be fabbing something up yourself or having an exhaust shop do it. Universal X pipe kit, a couple Spiral Flows, some extra piping, some hangers and a welder is what you'll need. I did mine in my driveway, although mines 3", but it's not that hard if you can weld. BTW that exhaust setup will sound awesome.

just got my H pipe setup done with high flow cats and moroso spiral flow mufflers
kinda drones, but the sound is amazing. true duals ???
gonna have to run them out the back one day tho, the drone might be pretty bad on the interstate.

1). Extraordinarily loud

^^^what's up jamie? personally, i wish i would've gone with a y pipe setup or found a 2.5" X setup all the way out. i feel i lost a lot of low end with 3" dumps but i'm getting 4.10s to fix that 
hey bro how r ya man? i know u felt a loss in low end, but we did ur headers at the same time, so u went from exhaust manifolds to long tube headers. headers shine in mid range to top end, not down low. a lot of people notice a loss in low end from long tube headers. so ur feeling of loss cannot be attributed completely to the 3" duals, but to the combo. im not saying 2.5" duals wouldnt give better low end, they sure would. i had 2.5" duals custom fabricated for my silver z28 and the ground clearance was awesome...sounded good too. i just went with tsp this time for convenience. i dont have the exhaust hook up that i used to, so i dont know who to go to for custom fabrication around here. anyway, good to hear from u man. keep in touch 757-337-7762
