Default Thoughts on this true dual setup
How do you think this will work on my car? Do youo think it would be hard to fab up? Just your thoughts?

Everything to make that picture will cost $225. Is it worth it?

Im asking if that would work becasue I am trying to stay away from as many bends as possible because at my shcools shop we only have a welder. Thats the main reason for the h-pipe.

Also those cats will be gutted but on there due to state visual inspection.

I am not sure exactly what you mean. On paper the pipes are straight but there's still going to be quite a bit of bends in the exhaust.

If your looking for true duals, how come you don't get an x pipe kit?

+3 on you're gonna have bends. But at least they shouldn't be anything you can't buy. Good luck, and be sure to post up pics.
