Looks good. You seem to have plenty of ground clearance.

im really not positive on the piping size... i wanna say 2.5" to 3" tips is what i remember him saying... and theyre flowmaster mufflers... clearance is great... and you can basically see where the pipes are routed... if you look at the 3rd pic... you can see it... then it just pushes off to the passenger side of the car... and cuts up to the manifolds.

yes. its all custom... got word about a guy who started duals in my area... and went and checked it out... and hes known for his work all around town... its ended up costing 480 after tax and everything... took about 2 hours for him to do... and i mean the exhaust manifolds... i havent gotten to getting headers... sadly enuff... all this noise and really no power. lol.

$480 for everything? That's pretty good. There's some catbacks that cost more than that without installation.

Just to clarify what you are looking at, those are "true duals" with stock exhaust manifolds.

haha.. .sure for the qoute thing... i heard the original from lil wayne in one of his songs... lol. original "im in that wide body imma need two lanes, blue seats white paint wetter than new rain" so i changed it to match my car. haha. but yea. under the axle... loved the price. loved the sound... maybe ill put a sound clip up later on. and yes... i kno i need headers. i just havent gotten there yet. i was plannin on doing it this month... but it might get pushed back til april after my birthday. i should be rollin in some money then. but itll all be nice when its done.... i got good hopes for this car... jus hope it will hold up. and thanks for everyones feedback. really appreciate it... and itll give me a good reason to tell the guy everyone loves what hes done... and recomend more people to him.

If you are intent on getting headers, it probably would have been a good idea to wait as you will have to have more fabrication done to get everything together. Thanks for sharing though, the topic of true duals comes up alot from those who are thinking about doing it to their vehicles.
