True Duals pics, full ground clearance!!!





Finished them today, they sound awesome. A little more raspy then I like, but that should go away some as my glasspacks break in. I cut and fitted all the pipe, and my dad tacked it all in place and welded it up for me. They don't come anywhere near to the axle, and it has plenty of ground clearance under the car.

I'll try to get some pics of them on the car tomorrow, it was dark by the time we had them on the car.

Oh, and thanks for your ideas and pictures of your exhaust *****. It really helped out alot

Let me know your thoughts guys
Matt

I've thought of that before but I've never seen it. Nice job on the system looks pretty cool. I want that same setup with fulltubes.

you need something to equalize the pressure between both banks like an x pipe or an h pipe.

I know I need something in there to equalize the pressure, there just isn't any room... The best thing I can think of is to make a cut in the pipes about 2" deep and maybe 4" long, in the middle section where the pipes ride right next to each other. Then take some 16 gauge sheetmetal and lay it over the opening to seal it up.

I don't have a bender, so I borrowed *****'s idea of buying some mandrel 180 degree bends and cut them to the angle I need. Then fill in everything else with straight pipe. I also swaged the pipes slightly larger than needed so I could make any fine adjustments in angle. After everything was cut to approx. angle, we went through piece by piece and tack welded it all to the exact position it needed to be in. Then we dropped the whole thing down and my dad welded all the seams tight. Took probably 15 hours total from start to finish. Not as fast as a professional job, but not as expensive either
