Question about driveability? Ok this question is for those of you who have true duals with an x pipe on there cars.I want to know if after adding the true duals did you all notice a better low end torque feel,because right now with my off road y pipe the car feels very week on the low end side and sounds horrible too?Any comments are helpful because im debating on throwing on a muffler and calling it a day or upgrading to true duals with an x pipe and single chambers.So any of your input is helpful.Thanks for reading

i did ORY with no muff's.. felt weak on low end torq and sounded raspy, same with TruDuals no muff's,same with TruDuals and Bullets/resonators... put muffs on TruDuals low torq feeling returned ..now i'm adding an X and trying bullets/resonators for ground clearance and torq feel
only added low end i noticed was the lower side of the mufflers dragging across the speedbumps. took that crap off of there and have been happier since. although the mufflex 4" weighs a ton, it worked pretty well for me. my exhaust now is a factory slp dual-dual. like it the most so far. little over 400rwhp LS1 car.
my gta has bullets off the headers. loud but who cares.

You will most likely need a tune to get any "lost" low end back. There will be no low end loss with a properly tuned car and a lower restriction exhaust. Backpressure does not equate to torque.
Even though it may seem like it at first, don't confuse being louder at the same mph with a loss of low end.
