Well I have been wanting to trash my homebrew y-pipe for a while now, and I have been wanting to replace it with a quality true duals system

I am running FLP long tubes into some catco cats.

So what I was thinking is getting a 3" or 2.5" True Dual system running all the way back out the original exits, and I am think maybe some Borla mufflers or some Super40 Flows

So I googled Trans Am True Duals, and this came up

I nearly crapped my pants

I know the car in the pics is a LS1, but I want that exhaust in my car.

nah, you think so?

I was thinking along the lines of 700.

I know a few guys back in El Paso that will do it cheap, but they weld awesome, but they dont think ahead, BAD combo.

They did a full system on my uncles Stang, and it was funny because my uncle ran it for a few months then he got some piston slapping, well he was going to pull the motor, when he was in the process he noticed that the guy had welded the headers to the pipe, and welded all the pipe together, so there were ZERO couplings, we had to bust out the sawzall.

I laughed, I dont know how the hell that guy got that system installed with it welded up like that

well lets see , 3'' duals over the axle, stainless mufflers by KOOKS no less plus those stainless dual tips oh yeah that's some cheese bro! this is not even including the headers!
piping w/mandrel bends aluminized pipe.stainless would be way more 450.00
1 pr of stainless bullet style mufflers 180.00
1 pr of regular stainless mufflers 250.00
1 pr of stainless tips 125.00
1 pr of O2 bungs 20.00
1 pr of band clamps 30.00
close enough for me........

dont forget the panhard bar. you have to get a drop bracket and panhard bar made for duals. you looking around $300 for that also.

There is a better setup than that that cost even more. Guy on LS1tech did 2.5" oval tubing. Totally sick and the ground clearance was PHENOMINAL. Said it ran him 3K from headers, cats, mufflers etc.

Ah I see what you mean, I dont want the kooks stuff, just how the system runs under the car is what I liked, honestly I dont like the tips either.

I was thinking just that exhaust, but with only 2 mufflers and some high flow cats

That's an old picture, I think back a couple year's ago I heard Kooks did that set up for 1250! (That's just the exhaust work, not even the PHB you'll need)
