"Dual" Exhaust Question
I was thinking about getting a custom catback dual outlet exhaust. Question is, do you guys think this muffler would fit under my '06 SS/SC with the following setup? The muffler is a Magnaflow with 2.5" in/out outlets that I found on eBay:

This is how I'd theoretically like to see it setup:
Other than having to get a fix for the other outlet to fit inside the bumper, do you guys think this would be do-able? Better yet, any guesses on sound? Another idea I have is dual glasspacks, one on each side.

Yeah, see that's something I wouldn't know. The only other car I've put an exhaust on was a '98 Camaro V6 and it sounded great. Then again, that could've been because of the 2.5" Magnaflow stainless catback exhaust along with ceramic coated headers and a cam'd/tuned engine.
I guess maybe something I should ask is, how do you make this car sound throaty with the dual outlet exhaust look?

As has been discussed on here many times. There are no benefits what-so-ever to running duals on a 4-banger. That setup you have is not true dual as it only has one muffler. I don't believe you'd see any gain from it over a straight 2.5" pipe. Plus, there's no way to make a hole over there for the other pipe without it looking like ass and not matching up. You'd have to get that rear lip that has the dual cut-outs in it.
I wouldn't do it.

the outlets would only need to b 2.25" or even 2".. if i had spare $ and wanted that look i would do it with that rear lip wit the cut out.. but it would have to look professional

I have dual exhuast on my Matrix. I cut out the bumper myself and had dual Magnaflow mufflers put in along with a hi-flow cat and a hi-flow resonator.
Np gains from doing this, just all for looks.

And as for looking like ass, maybe you should click on my link to the bumper cutting. I tried to show how to do it professionally, but other's are bound to screw up.

So the 100mph+ is definitely possible. I have been up to top speed in my XRS.
And for the guy doing 100+ and complaining about someone pulling in front slower.....sorry if not anyone else is trying to double the speed limit on a public highway. Keep it on the track......and maybe you won't get cut off.

Yeah I hear ya. When I bought the XRS, my car before that was a Dodge Shadow. HUGE jump in power. And now I am moving up to the SS S/C, another jump. Just gotta remember to remove the led from my right foot before driving.
