True Duals

Took my car to an exhaust shop today. hey successfully pur true duals on my 383. Sound is awesome and not too expensive either ($273). I had called another shop and they wanted to charge me $380 for a single 3 inch. They said that this is a growing trend in Tulsa(true duals on Camaros). So far no ground clearance issues. They used two 2 1/2 inch pipes, an x-pipe, and 2 tubular style mufflers. I'll try and put pics up for anyone who wants to see.

I'd like to see the X pipe on it and also the area near the tranny , I'm going dual too, should be 2" maybe 2 1/4" , but 2" is plenty for me, i was looking at an H pipe for mine, wich should be easier an cost less to do.

Yeah, and a sound file. I'm telling you, if an exhaust company came up with a good/affordable true dual exhaust setup for our cars and even 4ths they'd make $$$$$$$$$$$$.

I'm working on the pics. Where's a good site to host them at? The ground clearance really isn't that bad. I haven't scraped anything yet at least. And if you can tell me how to do a sound file I'll get on it.

I have tried many exhaust shops... most tell me its either too expensive or the smaller pipe wont benefit... I wanna see pics!! Also, did you run the car with the single exhaust? If so, notice a big difference in power at all?

Sorry ya'll. I just moved a few weeks ago so I haven't been able to take any pics, that and my camera needs new batteries. I will post pics at some point. BTW I actually got underneath the car to look at the exhaust system. Turns out it's not an actual X-pipe. This system is a total fabrication. The "x-pipe" is really 2 pipes that come together that the guy just cut a part off and welded them together to form a homemade x-pipe. As soon as I can get pics I'll post them.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

The ones Leon's put on have been on there for a few months now and have gone over some pretty massive neighborhood speed bumps. And to be honest, looking at them I would think they would scrape, but they haven't. Go figure.
