Thumbs up For those with dumped duals....

Have 'em run out the back! Damn, it made the car so much more fun to drive, not having the damn noise and smell to deal with. I never really noticed the noise that much until I had someone riding in the car with me recently who kept complaining about it. Well I just figured they were being a wuss, but I kinda wanted tips again so I did it. You don't realize how loud it is inside until the noise is behind you again. I wish I would have made a before and after video of the interior but I didn't. Do it, trust me, you'll be glad you did. Do it. DO IT!

Yes sir, I can also attest to such a claim.
I had dumps in 3 of my true dual setups. and re did them with H-pipe under the axle.. and wow.. still sounds mean as hell , but much more civil in the car.

here's a clip of mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHY_Q83GqrA

This startup was with the tops off the car, and you can still tell it is pretty quiet inside.

Yea that would be great! I'm wanting to run duals but can't decide to run cats or not. I've already made up my mind that I will either run the Powerstick or Powerpack mufflers through H-pipe, 2.5 duals, under the axle, and out the back.

Powersticks are an oldschool single chambered muffler. My ride aounds like a Big Block crusin round. The rev is vicious, and wot is like nascar inside. You won't be disappointed. I shoukd've made the right decision the first time, and gone with Powersticks before Xr1, Pro XS, and Bullets all of which i ran previously. The sound is quite unique, very deep, throaty note.

I'm definitely doing this. Did you fab the pipes going out the back up yourself? I was thinking of getting some mandrels from jegs or something and figuring something out in the garage.

I had a custom job done at LG Motorsports, ranme for like 500.00 Classy work there, so you get what you pay for. That includes H-Pipe, welding on mufflers, fully built from Lt's back and under axle. Clearenceis fantastic I don't scrape speed bumps, or on steep inclines.

Sorry about the shakey camera action, its kinda hard to drive, shift, and shoot a video at the same time. Hope this helps some of you guys out. Like I said, I'm definately glad I did it.
Ok, here's a few more vids:
rev up to 4K
cruising @ 2K
normal running through some gears
2nd gear punch & run into 3rd

Nope, had a local muffler shop do it.

With you 2 guys I know I will be doing chambered mufflers now! Still haven't decided on powersticks or powerpacks yet. Probably the packs since they are a little quieter.

I had my TSP X system run under the axle for the same reason. I could handle it but it was a little unbearable with the windows up.
I chose under the axle because I have a 9" and had the morosos moved out back. It was also nice to see some tips in the bumper cut outs again.
