Default What do you think of these True Duals?

I think so too, I like the 3 bolt flanges he used instead of band clamps like most people have on the headers..

I also like the 3 bolt flanges! Right now i have Lanes 3" true duals on my car and i have the band clamps connecting the headers to the exhaust. Now you want to talk about an exhaust leak!! I have one hell of an exhaust leak right where the clamp is and no matter how much i tighten it up it wont go away!

Looks good! I like the 3 bolt flanges also. I've got band clamps and I hate them. I'm probably going to have them torched off and go back to 3-bolt.

Looks nice.

I've never had a problem with the band clamps on my setup, though mine have a "step" in them compared to most that get just a flat/straight clamp.

They look great. I have band clamps on mine too and they're annoying. I'm going to look into getting them off and getting 3-bolt flanges welded up to my headers and the duals.

Dan, is your friend in Arlington as well?

Very nice, great job on getting them tucked. I have huge bullets and they drag every time I go over a speed bump....LMAO

No he works out of his shop in FT. Worth.. If you know Jason at Texas Drive Train Performance, this guy Ray use to work with him there.. He is the one who built the duals..
