are you serious. walls in my garage vibrate bc of my dumped true duals with bullets mufflers. in the car you really cant hear them???? you cant hardly hold a conversation in mine at 70 mph.....btw i love it.

actually i am, maybe its cuz i had been riding around with an open cutout for like 2 months or maybe cuz i drove my car open headers for the last two days before i got the duals? i really dont think its that loud, very deep YES but loud...eh not really i think the cam also makes a big difference on how loud it is

It sounds great, but the h-pipe doesn't do much being that long. The front half was done 1st, and INCORRECTLY (guy refused to fix/or refund my money) so I took it to another shop and just had it finished out the back. I will be going back to the guy who did the back half this spring to have it tucked up better, and an x-pipe put in.

Not all the way true, I have never had a clearance problem with mine. Not once have I scraped yet and I live in iowa where the roads are crap. People used to say that any duals will cause clearance problems but I don't have any at all. Now when i had the junk magnaflow catback the mid pipe was always dragging. Tried everything to get it to set up higher. Best thing i ever done was duals. I made them myself other than the tailpipes so I made sure they tucked up really nice.

Good stuff BrokenWS6. I have always wondered what an H pipe would sound like on our cars. I like their sound characteristics more than the X anyhow.

I will get one soon. Car is under reconstruction right now, but I had the tubing under the axle hung a little low because I didn't want to chain the axle, or make sure that every mechanic putting it on a lift didn't rip off the pipes.

Thanks! I wonder what a real h-pipe sounds like :rotfl: It definately quiets it down a little, but being that lond it doesn't have much function.
