Default Pix of new 3" Stainless True Duals...

I went with 3" stainless with an X and Edelbrock SDT 304 series mufflers dumped...The TA is a Spohn cross brace mounted style with 2 DS loops...All work is TIG welded and ground clearance at lowest point, being the mufflers, is 4"...We may move that stupid rear brake line a wee bit to move the drivers side up a hair, but it turned out pretty damn nice..

Thanks...It was done by a local shop/guy and he does outstanding work...A perfectionist who has great skills...It sounds like a BBC and feels faster, but who knows...I'm going back to the dyno to have the A/F numbers checked and see if there is any power here...

Nice, I'm excited cause this answers my question if TD's would work with the spohn torque arm.
That looks great.

Nice, very well put together. The underside of your car is SPOTLESS!!! Any chance of a sound clip?

I have ground clearance pix, but they are in bad (night) lighting...The worst spots for clearance are the mufflers...I measured 4" from the bottom of the mufflers to the ground...If you look under the car from front to back all you see are mufflers, everything else is tucked up real well...and I'm working on a sound clip...

4in clearance is pretty good. Is that with a 26in or 28in tall tire.

I have to clear a BMR TrakPak, the weld-in crossmember, hopefully I'll find someone here locally that can do a jam-up fit for me. The Borla has got to go, trying to cut back on weight, I run it with the dual cutouts open at the track but want to come up with a lightweight semi-might-not-get-pulled-over true dual setup that flows free as the dual cutouts.

That exhaust is pretty much beautiful Alan! I just realized you're in southwestern PA. What town? I am 10 minutes from Hermitage.

I'm sure the guy here could do it, but its kinda a big commute to get here...

Fergymoto...I guess I should change my sig...I'm more "southern" PA...Just south of Gettysburg in Littlestown...How far is that from you?

Only 270 miles Alan. LOL. Would you mind if there was an exact cop of your exhaust out there? I want to do true duals this spring, yours is the nicest I've ever seen, no joke.

That looks good. Gotta love the sound of the Elderbrock. Post a sound clip if you can.

That's pretty nice! 4" of ground clearance sounds pretty good too.
