Default Pics of my new exhaust (True Duals)

My setup is: Pacesetter Coated Race Style Longtubes, 3" custom duals w/ powerstick chambered mufflers.

My review on this setup...I'm very pleased with this exhaust. It's dumped at my rear axle for now until I get tired of the noise and decide to go out back. I would say the interior noise isn't very bad. I can still hold a normal conversation and listen to the radio. I would give it a touch quieter than a cutout w/ manifolds and cats (my previous setup). The idle is good and makes it sound almost like its cammed. It's pretty smooth through the rpm's and honestly it reminds me of corvettes. But when at full throttle and it gets up there in the rpms, 4k+ it really starts to scream! and its beautiful! I'm hoping to get a video up tomorrow. Here's a few pics I snapped while having my sfc welded in. Sorry for the blurryness but trying to take pics while laying on concrete when its 30 degrees w/o shivering is hard.

Parts ran me around 200 for the exhaust piping and 100 for the mufflers and the labor on getting this custom fabbed was 200 so 500 for true duals for around the same as a ory and catback. I think I came out pretty good on this deal .

I hope you don't have a body mounted torque arm. A universal x pipe will not fit there it is too wide. You will have to go with a full custom setup to get it to fit.

Nope none at all. I did have some fumes w/ my open headers and it didnt help I was running pig rich too. But it's dumped a lil further back than my cutout was and I never had problems with fumes on either setup

oh yeah! well i mean i did headers and ran them open for 2 weeks (i hated it, stupid loud) then I had true duals put on and it still pulls just as hard as open headers did but I did gain my low end back. I also had a body mounted torque arm put on after the headers. Then just had lca, lca brackets, and sfc put on yesterday and its a whole new car
