Default Pics of OOTL/TOTL on a firebird plz?

Like the title states, I'm thinking of getting rid of my magnaflow dual/dual for a left side only single or dual. Just looking for pictures of a firebird rear bumper with this setup so I can see how it would look. Its good in my mind, dunno about in person.

Agreed
Camaro's and Formula's are really the only ones that can pull off the SOTL.

Besides guys the dual out systems that utilize a single stock location muffler are less efficient then a single out setup. Remember the gasses have to make a 180* turn to come out that other tip.

I wouldn't say that. Mine is a SLP TOTL/Borla combined. Borla intermediate and over the axle pipe into SLP muffler. Passenger side is an SLP tip to round out the look.

The smaller tips look good on your car, I have the 4" tips and they look wierd. I really am thinking about getting a single in single out muffler of my choice and just having someone custom make me a SOTL setup. Should be pretty cheap.

Well I ended up "accidentally" creating a OOTL setup. I was swapping magnaflow tips with my buddy, he wanted the duals and I wanted the cannons for now, and I couldn't get the pass side on because they u-clamped it down too tight. I have the pipe in my back seat just gotta swing by a muffler place and have them flare it out again, but it looks pretty good with only one tip, and you can't tell its supposed to have 2. It also sounds really aggressive like that for some reason. I'm gonna get it put back on this weekend haha but enjoying it for now.
