Default True Duals?

Does anyone have true dual exhaust and have pics of how it was done? I just bought my 96 Z and would like to try and accomplish this but want to see how it is done. I thought it would be cool to have it dump in front of the rear tires on both sides, but that doesn't leave much room for mufflers. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
J

Try looking on ls1sounds.com, they don't have pics of lt1's but ls1's with true duals. They are still basically identical setups underneath. Just different motors.

That looks good lalt1 and luckyyou03. I just installed mine a few days ago with pacesetter longtubes and tsp true duals with 16" bullets. I cant seem to get it to hang better. It is really low and i have almost no room. Also my exhaust is sitting on the brake line. Do you guys only have two hangers on your exhaust right at the muffler or do you have anything else holding it up? I will try to get some pictures later.
-Thanks Brandon
-Also the cars sounds soo badass now but i have rattles and bad interior noise now.

Do either of you guys know power gains with the duals? I'm planning on an LT4 hot cam set up and will probaby do LTs with the true duals. Wondered if you had and RWHP #s with your setups?

Can say it didnt hurt down low at all, but feels much better from 6200-7K on the RPM range.

Pacesetter long tubes, and TSP X-pipe setup. Dumps in front of the axle. Its loud. "mufflers"? haha... who needs those things!?! j/k. Also, check BMR's site for their panhard relocation bar/kit thing. It lowers the upper panhard bar so you can fit more over it... I mean, in case you would like to route your pipes out the back still.

Hey man that is the same exact setup I was lookin at running same headers and all except I have a ls1. http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=196&catid=56

I got some questions about it. Does it come welded together and rdy to clamp to the headers? Also is it stainless and if not does it come painted. Where it mounts in the back near the axle is there holes there alrdy?

What sounds/fits better? The bullets or the flowmasters? I was thinking of using the flowmasters, I like luckyyou's setup.

I have the slp subframe connectors, and the spohn torque arm with the brace for longtube clearance, will I have any issues with the x pipe or anything?

I've never heard a cutout but i imagine it's quieter than open headers. They both sound awesome (bullets & flowmaster) using the universal summit x-pipe kit the fit should be easy for both mufflers. I had no problems.
