It's looking really good man. I have to say i'm a big fan of the painted mufflers on your silver stang. Very clean look. Something I might have to look into. So did you end up getting your true duals for under 350? Thats the project on the horizon for me right now. Gotta get the system squared away first though. Keep us posted on how those gears work out for you too.

Here is the cost breakdown of the exhaust. I got it under 300.00 for all parts needed. It is possible to get exactly what you want for a decent price you just have to be patient when looking for the parts you want. I could of even gotten the whole package under 250.00 if I had opted to buy a set of GT mufflers from a takeoff site, but I found the ones I have with the tips welded on already and those tips alone were 100.00 so I got them instead. Plus, you could find a used set of GT exhaust hangers from someone and possible get those free (I bought mine) and lower the cost even more. Just remember installation cost is the key, because if you cant get a good deal on install you might as well have just gotten a complete kit and installed it yourself since install costs and the money you spend on individual parts will end more than a complete kit itself that can be put on yourself at home. I am lucky cause a friend of the family has a shop and he did it for me for VERY cheap. Some local muffler shops around home though quoted me at 110.00 for install so long as brought all the needed parts so it is possible to save some money you just have to look around and be a smart shopper!
Dynomax X-pipe 72.00 @ rockautoparts.com
Dynomax Mid-pipes 30.00 a piece @ rockautoparts.com
GT Mufflers w/custom 3.5 inch chrome tips welded on from a forum member 110.00
Pypes stainless steel exhaust hangers 30.00 from a forum member on another site
Flat Black High Temp Paint 10.00 @ Autozone
FRPP bumper inserts FREE from a fellow forum member
Total = 284.00
