Yes you drill hole's for the hangers. They end up being in the rear seat buckets about half way up the radius. But first be sure to flip the bracket holding the fuel line up so they are higher and your exaust will be higher. You will need a 90 degree drill if doing it from under the car.

Congrats on the true duals. You will love the sweet thunders. They are fairly quiet while cruising but my god they are loud when you hammer on it.

That was exactly how I did it. The fuel rail flip was genius who ever discovered that.

+1 on all accounts (I first saw the fuel rail flip in one of Blur's threads IIRC). And here is something posted by someone else in another TSP TD thread that I think is an absolutely ******* genius idea:

When you drill the holes, put a long bolt with the big flat washer in, and slam a locking nut on it, securing it as tight as possible to the body. Then put the hanger over the rest of the bolt that is exposed, and a nut on top of that. In the future you can just take the nut off and remove the duals, instead of having to rip out the back seat over and over. I dunno, I thought it was brilliant, because they never sit perfect the first few times, you will find yourself tweaking it.

Anybody got any pics of where to drill? From either the inside or underside? Thinking about going True Duals.
