I took my 07 to a shop to get it dualed and the mechanic said that since the gas line is right where the other exhaust would go that it would ruin the line and he wouldn't do it. Is he just being lazy or is there some truth to that?

Same issues here...went to three shops today and all three refused to do it, Guess I'm limited to ninosport's dual conversion kit since real exhaust people no longer seem to work in that industry,

Go to your Ford dealer.

Mine installed my Pypes kit, kept askingME if it was in yet (took 3+ weeks on backorder)?

Then he asked, "What ya doin' next?"

I just had a shop yesterday tell me the same thing. I actually went to three shops and all wouldn't do it for one reason or another.

Northside Ford here in town will do the duals for $272. Take it to the dealer. Most of them will do it, but not all. There's also Red McCombs Ford here in town who won't do it because it's a V6, and I guess they think it should be left as such.

Damn, too bad i don't live in TX. For $272 though I could get the Ninosport conversion and do the bolt on myself. I think that is the way I'm leaning with this situation. I've just never experienced such an issue trying to get a dual set up in my nearly 40 years of existence,lol!!
