I see.

Also, would you recommend this:

Or just keep with the dual exhausts that you linked me?

If I want them to make me a custom exhaust, what do I specifically say? I don't even know what to say. All I want is two exhausts on different sides like a GT, and sounds a little loud

Just tell them you want duals, cut the Y and run 2 pipes, 2 mufflers, 2 tips. Done.

The Force IIs are coming off and going onto a friends GT as well. I have to swap in some borlas or something once the IRS gets put into the car

For what to tell them... exactly what lilroush just said. Y-Pipe back dual exhaust. Shouldn't cost you much at all.

Was that long tubes & labor, maybe you got owned on labor.... I didn't pay anywhere close to that for my 3"

I did, but I honestly couldn't get much better here at the time. There was only one shop in town that can bend anything past 2" pipe with any sort of accuracy. There are now 3, as of a month after I got it done >_<. The headers were swapped to 1 5/8" opening BBK Chrome Shorty headers. I needed new headers for new motor anyways... these are the largest opening after market headers I could find. This was basically the full price for all of the materials and labour.

To the OP: I need to get a recording up but the force IIs with high flow cats and an H-Pipe(http://www.americanmuscle.com/pacese...it-9904v6.html) produce a fairly nice grumble at up to about 3000-3500 RPMS and then have a smooth, deep roar. It doesn't have as grumbly a roar as a V8 but that has a lot to do with the fact that its not a V8. At lower RPMs though its extremely difficult to tell the difference.

As an added bonus the Force IIs have proper mufflers so you basically don't get the raspy sound that straight-through exhaust systems often produce, and its a bit quieter, which could be a benefit or a detraction, depending on how you look at it. It's plenty loud, but quiet enough to not wake the neighbors if you happen to go out for a midnight drive.
