Here is a thread on fbody.com that has some pictures of True Dual exaust the red car is the main one to look at, and that is the setup i am going to go with, only i am not going to put any cats or mufflers on it.

You could probably do it over the axle more easily if you used Spintech's oval 3" piping.

the benefits of duals is alot more exhaust flow. basically two 3" exhaust pipes as opposed to the typical single 3" catback exhuast. more flow/less restriction means more hp..

the big topic is whether they can be easily routed over the axles or not. this is my dilema, i don't want them dumping under the car, so if i do true duals i need t hem to go over the axle, into mufflers and then exit in the standard fashion.

tanner's "over axle duals" seem to fit fine, but he states he had to remove the sway bar? why would this be needed, i thought the main interferance was with the panhard bar...

seems like someone posted dyno results of close to 20 hp over a standard cat back. what really makes true duals shine is that they allow you to take FULL advantage of the high flow of longtube headers.

why would the sway bar need to be taken off? Seems to me the panhard rod would interfere more with the pipes.
