I think speed inc. sells a kit for 1,200. but u have to go out to the shop in Illinois to have it installed. Not that bad if your from that area, going from west coast to there. not really worth it.

Starts at $1200, and goes up from there...don't ask how I know. AND I drove from Florida...but they did a great job, and I wouldn't have had it done any differently.

If you are looking for just the x-pipe look at magnaflow. They have a pretty good selection you can choose from. I am planning on using one when I get around to fabing up mine.

(there stainless too)

Dave a guy Kerry and I work with has a mandrel pipe bender at his house! the only thing is i think he'd be a tool and charge and arm and a leg to make **** for me at least.

Other than that, I've got one other option in the state of Florida that could possibly be cheap. I'm not paying $1200 and driving to the middle of no where just for exhaust lol.

Thanks for all the help guys! I appreciate it!

Im giving them the mufflers and cats and its getting done for $300. I love exhaust shops that dont know they can charge me a arm and leg for duals over the axle.

Check Out Bassani And Have Them Send You A Catalog For Free. I Have Not Found It On There Website But There Catalog Shows 3 Different X Crossover Pipes Part # 4605x , Max30s , & Max25s. I Have This X Crossover On My Exhaust But It Came With The System. Check Out Ls1sounds.com And Go To The Pics Tab And Look @ The True Dual Prototype Pics.

Thats a good deal and all, but how good of a job they do is what really matters.

You dont want any crappy bends and pipes that hit the rearend or suspension parts when you go over bumps.

Question What do I need for a true dual setup?

I have a 99 T/A M-6 full bolt ons, LT, TSP ory Borla setup, MTI Stealth II cam on stock heads and LS-6 intake and 4:11 gears and quiet a few suspension upgrades.
Im looking to do a true dual x-pipe setup, my question is whos a good sponser for parts, stainless preferred and a good low profile muffler with a deep tone,I love my quad tips on my Borla, can I salvage them for the TD setup? as I am planning on going under the axle. BTW I read the sticky thread and saw the pics, and also I am aware that my current set up sounds like ***, it sounds good at idle or wide open and thats it LOL


99 T/A M-6
382hp, 378 tq

any tips can basically go on any system, just need the right pipe connecting them to the rest of the exhaust.
I'm looking for a 2 1/2 inch setup for my x-pipe since i've got strano springs and koni sas on there.

I thought I was gonna be forced to quiet my car down from my apt. manager...

If it were running I wouldn't care too much for over the axle any more...

Unless it were local and bad ***...and involved cutouts of some sort.

I would love TSP duals with REALLY serious mufflers....then dual electric cutouts.

Sound quality. Bullets sound too raw and unrefined to me (says the guy that drives around with LT's and an open cutout). Flowmaster single chambers = cheap, light, loud, best tone out there IMO Check out some of those sound clips. They'll give you an e-woody.

But arnt they $100 each? im sure u could find a used set in the classified sections, but im kinda diggin the sound of the sweet chamber mufflers Included in the TSP setup. but i do agree the FM singles sound the best.
