My TruDual setup
well i jumped on the trudual band wagon .I've been running around wit an open ORY for nearly a year and liked the race car sound to a point but, at times it was really annoying as it has a raspy raggedy sound at certain RPM's under load that just sounds like a ragged out mud truck.
so i bought a couple of Thrush Turbo mufflers from Advanced for $60. took it to a local Custom exhaust shop they cut the Y outta my ORY and ran two 2 1/2" pipes bent as needed to fit for $125 I decided not to do an H or X pipe outta curiosity of how it would sound ..
.in hindsight i should have bought these --> http://www.streetsideauto.com/produc...te%2BMarketing or knock off versions on ebay
..I'll will prob switch to em' only because they would help with ground clearance a bit and provide more sound.
I cant complain though ..it has low bass and rumble sound at an idle ,sounds quiet but solid while cruising and has this mean powerful low grunt under WOT instead of just loud and raspy ....the sound is Solid it doesn't sound uneven or raspy nor does it have drone ..it is a touch quiet from what I'm accustomed to and it really makes the car a Sleeper... ..like i said i've drove around for nearly a year open ORY and know what my car felt like....the TruDuals really are a different beast ..it feels like it has better pull/tork down low now
I dont have anything to take video with sound or i would ...I like it,I like the old skool look of em at the axel too!

I also have rebelled the norm (being without an X pipe)... some people say an X pipe makes it sound better, or flow better... an X pipe at one point joins both exhausts so IMO an exhaust with one isn't "true dual"
Good setup, simple and effective I spent at least twice what you did

Those mufflers will get louder as time goes on. I live how they sounded on my dads old truck. I ran duals without a crossover and it was raspy but I was running one chambers. If I were you Id get an H installed if it gets raspy as the mufflers break in.
Hows ground clearance? I want to run my exhaust like that with Pypes race pros and an h pipe. My floorboards are already dented in for duals from a previous owner so I think I could get them to tuck up real nicely.1997 Trans am- M6- Ebay Longtubes, Summit X pipe with Magnaflows, CAI, Adj LCAs with relocation brackets, Comp engineering shocks, Competition stage 2 clutch.
