I got a shop here that is going to change my split tips to true duals on my Expy for $175. What did you guys get yours installed for?

i dont have true duals but thats a good average price for it. dose that include the 2nd muffler and all the piping? cause labor isnt really that much for exhaust. its the piping and muffler. at least the labor for my exhaust wasnt that much. im going to do true duals soon but i wanna try it my self. ooo and make sure that all the joints are welded by them not clamped.

If I remember right from mine, it was between 200-250 this summer. I have the receipt in my truck. For my exhaust, they cut the muffler, put on a Y and ran 2.25 inch with duals at 45 on each end, and 3 1/2 inch stainless tips. The tips run about $75 each, so with the pipe and labor, I didn't think it was to bad.

i know just for my cat-back exhaust, it was about 300. so true duals, from the headers back, with 2 mufflers and pipes for 175 is a great deal.

true duals

Did you guys have to remove any parts to do the true duals? I was under my truck the other day and there isn't any room to run two seperate pipes or was I trippin when I was looking?.?. I would love true duals on my 99 eb 2wd.

thats a good price...i paid $140 for single swept side flowmaster w/tip...duals wouldve been $175...i dont think it'll get any better than that unless you know the owner/manager and get some type of discount...

well mine didn't have an issue with space... 11" of lift I have all sorts of room.. pipe is almost straight...


Straight pipe sounds great... thats my plans for the spring if I have extra cash... or I'll wait till the NNY winters rust out my current set-up

and if your gonna do true duals... take the time and do a rear cat delete... makes it sound a lot better...

It got done today, but it isn't really loud like I thought it would be. Just a bit more chug-chug-chug at idle. But it only ended up going for $163 so I am happy either way.

did you do the exhaust yourself? i was thinkin of firin up the sawzall and gettin to work, but would need to take it all in to get it welded. so you deleted the cats and ran pipes straight out the back? take some pics if you get a chance walnuts.

panda, couldnt you run duals into 2 different mufflers? that should keep up with cali law. its the smog that you might have to worry about if you get rid of cats.
