My true dual exhaust with x pipe
Well after a lot of looking into exhaust systems, i decided it was time to go dual. It was hard finding a shop that would weld it up for me, but my exhaust is basically bolted to the underside of my car with rubber mounts, it couldnt get much higher. Its low for an exhaust system, but I swear my single bullet setup was just as low in some spots, and I have been careful over speed bumps and have yet to bottom it out. I wont attempt steep driveways tho, not worth it to me. Anyways, here are some pics. Hedman Ellite Ceramic coated headers, 2 1/2" pipe to an X pipe to 2 1/2" bullet mufflers to turndowns. Here are some pics for you:



Looks nice. I just finnished my dual 2.5 with h pipe and bullet mufflers. I havent been able to start the car yet because I am waiting for a carb for it but think it should sound awsome. How loud is yours by the way? I dont mind loud or I wouldnt have gone with this setup, but I dont really want open header loud because I started my car up with open headers and about deafened myself.

Yes, that is what I have heard too. I have heard that the h pipe is supposed to quiet it to but not as much as an x pipe. I should be able to find out how loud it will be next weekend. How loud do you think yours was compared to the normal cat backs?

. I would say it is just slightly louder than your average catback, maybe not as loud or as obnoxious as a flowmaster catback, but I really am happy with this setup!Seth
