Google Borla Pro XS test. There was a 5.0 magazing that tested like 14 different mufflers from diffrrent brands. They did 3 dyno pulls with each muffler and then a decibel test. The Borla was the quietest and came third in power behind open cutouts and hooker maxflos, not sure if they tested dynomax mufflers

Me and my cousin have been working on installing true duals to my 94 Z28 for a few weeks now. We cut into the area under the rear seats, sort of made tabs that hammered back into place and welded a plate up to it to seal any open spaces up. This was to make room for the single chamber flowmasters to tuck up into. They fit in really nice with plenty of clearance. Next, we cut a sort of channel from the end of my pacesetter headers to the place where the mufflers are. This was to allow for the piping to tuck up into really nice. Then welded a cut up piece of 5" diesel exhaust tubing to seal it off and look clean.
It looks really good. I'll post pics of it when we're completely done. It's going to come up and over the axle and dump out right after the rear wheels.

Any possible chance tho get a closer pic of where you hammered under the seat? Prefer the passenger side.

Why didn't you go with Hooker Max Flows? They were better in performance, identical in sound until WOT and were 10db louder which is a good thing in my book, not to mention much cheaper.
I'm thinking about these for my TD's....

Ah I gotcha. So how does it sound when you're just cruising around? I'm still on the fence about mufflers... My car is going to be a little louder than yours, plus dumped at the axle, so I really want something that's going to keep the interior noise to a minimum. Dynomax Super Turbos are looking like the way to go atm..... I need to be able to enjoy the sweet *** system that's going in it.

if you look at the numbers they were marginally better in performance, def not somethng you would feel so at that point its really sound preference as well as quality and i can guarantee the borlas are built better.

Can you PM your exhaust guy's info? I've been looking at doing TD's on my SS, but have had trouble finding someone competent enough to be willing to do the work. All the idiots I've visited always tell me I'm nuts when I ask them if they can do a TD setup. Everyone tells me there's no way in hell that there's enough room to do so.

I laugh everytime someone says duals can't be done. Everyone told me I would scrape, there is no way I could run them tucked up enough, the mufflers wouldn't fit, no way I would have more clearance than a y setup etc. The proof is in the pictures. So this guy can tuck under the axle duals and he can run the "impossible" dual 3" over the axle with no panhard relocation. He has greater clearance than me and also doesn't scrape or bang anywhere
