Under the axle is not a good idea. If you ever need to drop the rearend for anything the exhaust becomes an issue. Unloading the suspension can also cause issues. Then there is the whole ground clearance issue as well.Quote:

Doing a custom setup like that is a nice idea but for me it poses a few problems.Quote:

Again I know Bassani makes a good product. I would just wonder about the between pipe.
For starters, I don't do crush bend systems on anything anymore. So I'd have to find a shop with a mandrel bender. Not many of those around.
Plus you pay more for the mandrel bending and the fab work involved. I'm pretty picky how I like things too, and finding someone to work with that shares the same detail is very difficult. It's part of the reason I started my own shop years ago.
In the end I could pay as much or more than the Bassani setup.
This setup would be the best and cheapest option. I would save it for a track only, or weekend toy type of car though. I don't have any interest in doing it on our 4th gens that are driven daily, and I know my wife wouldn't put up with the noise and drone either, she drives one of them :DQuote:

$50 of that was to buy 2 Turbo Thrush mufflers. So when I want I can run like below. Just add the mufflers to the above photo (again not my car but have run with 2 Turbo Thrush).
I have had a couple of classic cars like this though, my chevelle was one of them. Funny setting off car alarms in the grocery store parking lots :D I eventually installed tailpipes though, even on that car that is driven maybe once a week the dumps became a headache.
i hate that shit as wellQuote:

I will say the bullets at WOT can get loud. But at cruise speed there is little noise or drone. Getting to that cruise speed can have some noise and drone.Quote:

thanks for posting that one - I was not aware of an over axle true dual exhaust for these cars. Knew about the bassani that dumps in front of the rear axle, but not this. Nice.Quote:

I don't mean to thread jack, but does anyone know where the heck I can find the muffler that comes on the bassani true dual setup, or any bassani muffler at all for that matter? I've looked for about a week now and I can't find any sellers, not even on ebay.
have you check or called bassani themselves???Quote:
