RE: just got back from the muffler shop
I was in a similar situation when I got my car. The first thing I wanted to do when I got my V6 almost 2 years ago was get a GT rear bumper and slap a couple flowmasters up underneath it. I hated the silent acceleration because I'm not used to it. So I start figuring out what to set aside to save for the bumper and exhaust and what not. Well it turns out that the day I go to the dealership to get my license plates (it's only 3 weeks old, I got the car brand spankin' new) I get rear ended! I was turning into their parking lot when I got hit. Luckilly all it did was scratch up the bumper and didn't screw up anything besides the bumper. So the body shop replaced it with a GT bumper since the cost is only like 5 more bucks to them.
Once I got my car back, I had the stock exhaust and a GT rear bumper cover. I went to probably 5 different shops and they were all refusing it saying the car was likely to blow up because of the placement of the gas tank! Bastards! I finally found a shop and told the guy my situation and he looked at it and laughed. He said it wouldn't be a problem and offered to do it the next day.
In the end, I didn't buy any kits for it, I took it to the shop, they converted it to straight duals without any crossover pipe, and 2 flowmasters. I paid $400 total and I love it.
I hope you find a shop that will work with you. They do exist, but they may be few and far between.

I've done one V6 dual at my shop. I didnt hesitate about doing it. The only thing that was making me a bit gunshy was cutting out the opening on the left side to accomodate the pipe. Measured a half dozen times to make sure I got it right. Once I was done with the saws-alla dremel tool smoothed everything out beautifully. I was happy. Customer was happy. It was good!

RE: just got back from the muffler shop
Last summer I took my car to Top Value in MI.
They said they could do it over the phone but when I got down there
the lazy a$$ mechanic didn't want to do it. He gave me a bunch of excuses
and said it might hurt my motor. So he put the one on and it's better then
it was, but not what I wanted. Maybe next spring I'll find someone to do it,
if I don't end up selling it for a white GT. lol [8D]
Just keep calling around, hopefully you can find someone to do it for ya, good luck !

RE: just got back from the muffler shop
I went to my local Midas and Car-X, and both said they could do it. I did go in already having a GT H-pipe, midpipes, mufflers, and hangers and clamps bought. And told them exactly what i needed from them. So maybe they could see that i knew what was needed, and didn't try any of that "you have to buy our system" crap.
