Top Secret: Dual TRD Exhaust Complete! **Pix**

Postby FLASH » Wed Mar 03, 2004 10:14 pm

I believe Astro has True dual. This may sound crazy, but I can feel a SIGNIFICANT power gain now. especially in like 2nd gear around 3500 rpms, it really pushes like never before. Only other thing that may affect that is I started using a different gas company, but sitll regular grade gas.

Hey, my passenger corner light is almost exaclty like that too, and it was from when it was pulling out my driveway after a snowstorm :evil: The piece that connects the corner light to the headlight broke, and i didnt feel like buying a new headlight lol

Oh sorry, by the way very nice job on the exhaust setup

Please tell me where you got the duals installed!!!

FLASH wrote:I am SOO excited. Dropped off my car this morning and went and picked it up on break at work. Here's the setup:

1) 2.5" Piping from catback
2) Y-Pipe into Dual TRD mufflers
3) Stock Cat

It's BEAUTIFUL. I'll upload some pictures in the morning, it sounds about twice as loud as the single TRD...this time there's no resonator as well. The shop did an incredible job. I had this planned for so long and it took me forever to save up, and I wanted to do something TOTALLY unique, Dual TRD was screamin at me.

As you can see in the last one, I actually hammered in the spare tire whell so the muffler could fit, and they wouldn't charge me extra for that :lol:

I don't have true dual. That is when you have 2 downpipes that go into 2 cats, then to 2 mufflers. My exhaust is the same as yours, split after the cat. Anyways, awesome job. Looks beautiful!

Paladin06Greg,
I got it done at a local muffler shop, real small place that's only been in business for a few years, here in South Jersey.

OK, duals going on tomorrow a.m.. I special ordered some really cool tips but got the wrong ones. I'll have to stick with the TRD tips for a day or so..

Price for install $125.00.. Duals from the cat back. No more Resonator..

Hey a good thing speads fast. :wink: I've been thinking about it for about 3 monthd now but business travel has prevented me from acting sooner.

Hey in the end I'll have some very unique chrome tips so you'll be safe again.. LOL :P

One other thing, I got rid of the stock cat long ago. It went bye, bye when I install the JP Performance headers and Y-pipe.. 8)
