True duals (vids)

Here are a couple of quick vids I made of my td exhaust.

383/JH long tubes, Bassani true-dual kit with x-pipe and muffler.

Edit: My hosting site is acting up....it won't host the other idle vid I made. Sorry.

Re: True duals (vids)

That sounds great. How is the sound inside the car?

Cats or no cats and what kind?

Thanks, guys. There is no drone inside the car, which was one issue I was concerned about, and is relatively quiet until you hit it. There are no cats installed.

Thanks. I was asked not to divulge it, but it's in the range of an 847 with really aggressive lobes.

Re: True duals (vids)

Damn that sounds good!

WAY quieter than my car with true duals. Is it streetable as far as drawing attention on the street? Get nervous around police? Do you think dumping behind the car helps quiet it down? How low is it?

Almost makes me jealous. =)

Want me to host your other video? Send it to me in email and I can host it if you want. Try my AOL one or snvent@gmail.com if it's too big.

Hey bud, how's it going?

Thanks for the props...I'm really pleased how it turned out.

As far as being streetable - absolutely. It's loud, don't get me wrong, but I've driven by the County Sheriff over here several times and got no looks whatsover, but that was driving it sanely too. FWIW, the Chevelle is louder everywhere in the rpm range. I'm more concerned that you can smell it doesn't have cats - smells just like the 'Velle. Running the pipes to the back, with a muffler in the stock location, quieted it down immensely...it is about the same loudness as the capped Borla was without cats and while the ground clearance is an issue, it is not a huge one. The car can still drive up the trailer ramps, and I haven't scraped it in a driveway yet. The lowest point is the header collector and where the pair of pipes are mandrel bent in front of the rear axle, just before they route over. Plenty of space for the pipes and suspension travel, and there are no heat issues anywhere. I did have to have a muffler shop re-work the driver side pipe to clear my torque arm, and that turned out bitchin'.

I'd definitely recommend it for yours if you're concerned about (or tired of) the sound and raspiness level...run those pipes to the rear and get a nice Magnaflow muffler on there.

Thanks for the offer to host the other vid...I'll have to zip it down first though. I'll post some pics of the set-up as well...it is hard to get good ones with the car being so low already.
