Default Hey Al- True duals question

Im considering putting true duals on my car.
I heard kmooks LT1 (west palm beach) and it sounded so awesome.
Im pretty sure your running true duals? dumping before the axles right?
I know the LT1's and LS1's sound different but how loud was your car after running true duals.. Im assuming longtubes, no cats, x pipe, and bullet mufflers. Short bullets or long ones?

My concern is that the car will be too loud. Right now im running 1 3/8 primary shorties, stock y pipe with cats, and borla with the largest open plate... basically theres no plate. Kinda like have muffler and half unrestricted.
I'd like not to scare small children and cute animals at idle or under 2k... I dont care about WOT.

I cant remember what you car sounds like... You blew by me too fast .

Lol...I had mine done down near Bradenton. It is true duals with an H-pipe. Its not bad. However there is a place in Tampa called North Tampa customs that has a better setup. True duals with X pipe. Reasonable price too. Ibeleieve well under $400. As far as noise...just get the muffler to match. There are several very good flowing mufflers out there that are very queit. I have a dual 3" all the way back . Dual 2.5 should fit very well under yours. Let me know whatever else you find...Im redoing my setup son. need that X pipe.

Theres a topic on true duals in the lt1 tech on camaroz28.com.
Seems like the guys with them say its louder than my set up if i dump before the axles...
I would go 2.5 with my setup if i go true duals.
I'd like a bullet muffler because they'd take up less space undereath the car and thats what Kmook (ken) is running on his and it sounds baaaaadd.
I'll have to research the mufflers.
I'd sell my borla except for the tips.. They'd stay for looks. I dont think my car looks right without tips (done it before).
well if u have those guys in north tampa do your set up make sure u stop by and show her off to me.
