Pics of my true dual setup with convertible X brace
Here's some pics of my true dual setup. Consists of Kooks LTs, Dynatech 4.5x7" ovals, and 3" Pypes mini cats. I was hoping these Dynatechs were a little quieter than race bullets, they are straight thru split flows, and they sound great, not very loud at idle but really yell on heavy accelleration. Cats are 3" then it necks down to 2.5 the rest of the way back. I also custom made an X-brace to replace the factory stamped one that is on the convertibles, the pipe fit perfectly over it.

Lowest part on driver side cat, this could have been raised about a 1/2 inch and I will do it if it hits:

Looks nice but yuu might want to put some heat wrap around that bundle of steel lines. It's your brake and fuel lines and it looks like the pipe is like an inch from them.

Look about half way down the page, they have them specific for the verts.

Here's a good one of it..also, notice where the ends of the X bolt to, I welded 2 tabs on the bottom side of the tranny mount to bolt it to..that way it brought the front of the X down a little more for clearence for the pipe to go over instead of bolting it to the top of the tranny mount.

oh, it still had the stock exhaust on it in these pics though...
As you can see, all I did was weld some very thick flat stock I got from Home Depot onto the Spohn tunnel brace to make the "X"and also used a sledge to bend the center of the X down some for more clearence for the pipe to go over the brace and under the tranny tail shaft.
