flow and scavenging (helping pull the exhuast out) are usually inversely related. Its best to find a equilibrium between them based on your setup. Thats why alot of those ricers out there are stupid b/c they throw on some giant exhaust and they don't have the displacement to support it, and negatively affects performance.

I've been curious about this as well because whenever I get my camaro I thought about just buying the Summit Universal X Pipe and welding the rest together since my brother is a welder and we have the 3" pipe from his old car laying around.
Would be a lot cheaper that way but I wasn't sure whether to do that or just get the TSP True duals.

I have the summit 2.5'' universal x pipe kit and I love the way it sounds and performs!

oh i know i don't have the mods to back up having 3" duals. i probably never will. im sticking to what i have in my sig. number one b/c it flows enough for what i would ever do with the car. and two b/c im tired of spending money on exhaust. i was JW if that design scavenged well or not.

Their x pipe kit is pretty popular for the True Dual guys. Most buy their kit and then fab up the rest or have an exhaust shop finish up the job.

I have never heard anything negitive about it.

I've got the 2.5" x-pipe kit. It's the Jegs kit, but there's no difference between the Jegs and Summitracing kits. You really can't beat the sound and flow of the TD's over the stock setup (single into dual outlet muffler).

I have a Jeg's 3" X-pipe and welded all my own up. I love the sound. I hate the ground clearance. Sportlines and true duals. FAIL.

i don't have the typical catback though. just an ory and bullet. honestly mine sounds like all the true duals clips with bullets. do u have any clips of yours with the knock off single chambers?

At the moment I don't. Well no good sound clips. Just a crappy phone vid. My phone doesn't pick up sound very well. I've been trying to get ahold of a good video camera, but never seem to find the time to do it.
