Custom dual exhaust ?

Hello, I'm kind of new to this forum.

I was wondering if anybody knows of a reputable place within an hour of Newark that can custom fab a dual exhaust system from the headers all the way back over the axle? I currently have a Loudmouth II on the car and I am not happy with it. When I get my headers installed I no longer want the Loudmouth II and I have heard that true duals can yeild up to 15-20hp over catback systems.

A 3'' catback will be good to 450hp. I think.

I just don't like the way it sounds, I know it will be completely different with the headers though!

Do you have a number for that place in Hamilton ? Or maybe a link? I'm quite lazy haha.

LM1 with Hooker Headers FTW. but.. True Duals = nasty. check out some Meinekes maybe they would do it for you. and the 3" catback can withstand up to 550hp

True duals with cats and over the axle exit will not be cheap and you want to find a shop that can do quality work so there are no rattles. Most shops use benders that will kin the pipes so any gain you might thing you'll pick up over a 3" single will be lost right there. I think Bassani sells a true dual setup but it's not cheap. I don't think it's worth the cost or hassle just to say I have true duals(and I have a 3" true dual setup on my SS396). Definitely research it and ask the shops if they mandrel bend the pipes or not.
