quote to add dual exhaust

[jeffgtx]

i want dual exhaust.quote for new muffler, two 3" rolled steel pipes and labor and cutting of the rear fascia was 485 complete from a highly reputable outfit, so i am willing to pay a slight premium.what do you think?

hmm. i don't think that's bad. but then again, you're talking to someone who spent well over $6K on the vibe and $10K on my Tundra. hell, the dual exhaust on my tundra was $900! so i suppose $485 is pretty cheap in comparison! lol. does that include a sport muffler? the magnaflow is $350 w/o labor that i've found to be the lowest price shipped so far.

Where are they going to split it? At the outlet of the cat, or muffler? Real dual exhaust would have two, two pipe headers. I wonder how that would sound? I have heard an inline six with duals...it was "different".Someone (I don't recall) on this board had a pretty good idea, he tapped into the exhaust pipe upstream of the muffler using an adjustable valve in the pipe to regulate "unmuffled" exhaust out of a right hand side outlet. Looked nice, don't know how it sounded. You can get the cable operated dumps from JC Wittney.

Dude, I gotta ask...what do you do for a living? And are there any openings there? I'd love to have the kind of money you've got to put into the Vibe...or anything for that matter.

Freestyle changed it again. He has 2 mufflers and it does sound quieter. But it does get up and go.Inder

they are splitting it at the muffler. no its not true dual all teh way down the pipe. i guess i should have been moe specific.i dont want more sound, jsut the look.and yes it includes a magnaflow.
