Default Help purchasing an exhaust!!

I don't really know what to look for in exhausts but I know I want a very loud exhaust and I need it to be true dual not a Y pipe! Can someone recommend to me some good choices of exhausts to look for? Thanks.

Here is a picture of the X section and resonators of the Motordyne TDX.

Its pure high power performance and LOUD!

I will need somebody to do an independant dyno of it soon.

I recommend that you:

a. Set a budget.
b. Decide what configuration is best for you. Single. Dual. One or two mufflers.
c. Listen before buying.

Why does it need to be a true-dual?? The stock is single piping.

Don't want to be like everyone else? Lol. If you don't want to use a y-pipe or x-pipe, then what exactly are you going to use to scavenge exhaust gases??

wat

I don't quite understand. Where did you get the notion that true-dual exhausts were the best for the money? In fact, I believe they are over-kill. IMO, single exits or single exhausts like the Nismo or Tanabe offer the best performance due to them utilizing the stock design and flow characteristics.

My bad maybe I didn't specify! I would perfer a x or h pipe. Now does it depend on the shape of the pipes, for what exhaust note I want. Cause I was told ( if u have like an h or a x pipe, ur exhaust note will sound louder )?

Yes.
The merge type, location and pipe diameters all have a big effect on sound quality.

Its hard to say what configuration is good or bad for sound quality, but it all clearly makes a difference.

You want your exhaust pipes to be original? lol

Tons of people crawling under the middle of the car to check to see if you have the 'cool guy' H pipe, or the "lame guy" Y pipe?

From past items I can say that hydrazine makes good stuff...
