This is a dumped system, that means the exhaust gas exits under the car (as opposed to going all the way to the back bumper)
You can also get the full duals(aka out the back), by going to vinci's site (in the sponsor list on the right------------------>

but a true dual setup with long tube headers is the most powerful setup you can get on these cars.

The legality of a dual system depends on your area. I don't have emissions check in my area, and my system is completely legal.

Sounds like you need to stick to the y pipe and catbacks then. Of course we have emissions and visual inspections here and I have true duals. Hmmm Oh yeah that's right 
I'm not supposed to tell anybody about that.

Sorry...Just givin' you a hard time!
But yeah, F-body cars come with a "Y" pipe design from the factory. That means that the factory manifolds (or headers to keep things simple) are normal, but instead of there being two pipes (one for each side of the engine block since this is a V-8), the two pipes coming from the headers converge into one pipe (this converge gives this design its name: it looks like a "Y". From there, this one-pipe design enters a muffler with two outlets to give the car a dual-exhaust appearance.
On the other hand, we have "true duals". Technically, most kits available labeled as a "true dual" setup are not in fact true duals since they do have a crossover. The names of these crossovers are labeled primarily by their shape. Hence, an "X" pipe is shaped like its name and an "H" pipe is shaped like its name. These two setups (X and H) are the majority of all "true duals" setups. There are a select few people on here, however, that run true duals in its literal sense. This is where there are two seperate pipes (one for each side of the block) and no crossover at all (meaning no "X" nor "Y" nor "H"). Out of all of these systems, the "X" pipe design appears to produce the best overall power. I personally think the best system made for an F-body is the true dual system offered by Texas Speed & Performance as seen here. That system combined with some stainless or ceramic coated long-tube headers should yeild the best numbers.

The majority of cat-back systems appear to be 50-state legal.
