True Dual Exhaust
I don't have the energy right now to fully vent but whatever you do don't buy the true dual exhaust from this guy - http://search.stores.ebay.com/BNR-Pr...736572QQsofpZ0
Let's just say I've spent the last nine hours trying to install it and as of right now I'm scared to drive it the 10 mins to work. I'll go into more details later but I am beat, actually I've never been this tired after working on a car and that includes head gaskets and header installs.

Here's some details:
First off when I recieved the exhaust and opened it up I noticed the welds. To say it was an amiture is being nice. I honestly did better welds the first time I ever touched a welder. I mean they are like 1/2 high in spots because he didn't know how fast to move the welder.
As for fitment, where to start...
- They are made to slip over the headers. Well neither of them fit over the headers, one slides right into it(I can push it all the way up to where the header's break off into the primaires). I'd like to see a leak free fit on that! On the other header I had to take out a hammer and bang the peice into submission.
- Then I go to slip them into the X pipe, you guessed it, doesn't fit.
- Of course the back two peices where the mufflers are don't fit over the X pipe either.
- After A LOT of custom work I kinda get it to fit. I lower the car, and yup the X pipe litterally lays right on the ground.
- Oh and the pipe that goes into the driver's side header, it sort of goes into the header, then for some very odd reason bends UP and hits the floor board. From there it bend's back down and forces the X pipe to rest on the ground.
You know when you install an exhaust you hope there aren't any leaks. Well with this one I knew it was absolutly impossible to have anything other than horrible leaks
This is the most worthless peice of crap I have ever purchased in my life and ask to no one wastes their money on this.

I just went to TSP's website and found out you can order their true dual with chambered mufflers. If I would have known that earlier I would have purchased those to begin with.

So right now I'm planning on putting the ORY back on but I'm going to cut up the "exhaust" he sent me and take the chambered muffler's off and weld them where my 3" bullet muffler use to be.
