Got mine from Performace Peddler. The original price on the auction was $86 OBO. After some offers and counter offers they finally excepted $75 shipping included. And yes, the thru-X design eliminates a X or H pipe needing to be added.

Also bought the Magnaflow SS 18" X 3.5" tips from them. Really impressed with the tips. They were a OBO auction too. Final price was $30 a piece shipping included.

I have made up my mind. I have decided to go with the Flowmasters with 2 1/4 pipe and a X-pipe. Thank you everyone for your input!

Thanks for your help, and I'm going to order one. I have to decide today whether to go 2.5" or 2.25. I'm leaving all my converters in place, but want more tone and performance. I plan to put the harley davidson supercharger on it in spring of 07, so what I'm thinking is to do the exhaust system in it only once, so most likely I'll go with 2.5" tubing.

its not that you lose any torque the power band completely changes with a true dual setup. The torque band moves higher up into the rpms. I had true dual flow 40's on my 4.6 and it was kick ***. Was harder to move from a dead stop with the bigger tires, but once moving it kept going.

Since my original question was will I loose my BOTTOM end torque with true duals. Your response hit's the nail on the head, that is exacley what I wanted to know! Thank you!
