Arrow TSP Duals out the back?

Has anyone ever ran the Texas Speed X-pipe true dual system, but instead of turndowns right after the bullets continued the exhaust to the bumper? If so could post up some pics/sounds thanks.

Or Headers to X-Pipe to Bullets and then out the back. My old car had the turndows which I liked the sound of, but pipes to the bumper would look cleaner and would be better as long as the sound stayed somewhat the same.

Sweet, thanks alot those look pretty good. How does it sound though, I know with mine the turndowns gave it a sweet deep bassy sound but there was also a kinda gay hissing noise as well. The hissing was most noticeable from outside the car at low to mid rpms with a higher load on the engine. I think that it looks much better all the way to the bumper though.

Nope, right after the 3" bullets it goes to some 2.5" reducers, then over the axle with 2.5" and out.

The wiring harness was a big effort for the guy that did the install.
He literally drilled out the white connector from the sheet metal, then he individually stripped and soldered 12" extensions on each of the wires to pull that box away from the body.
I guess he even found the right gauge color coded wire for each one too, he was proud of that bit. Tied it up somewhere around the diff box with some zip ties.

He said it would be impossible to route the pipe through that area without pulling that harness. If your trying to find a shop to do it, or want to make the job easier for yourself, that could be something you could tackle yourself. If your handy with wires and a soldering iron...and a drill...and heat wrap..
