Default Going Dual Exhaust

How would I go 04' stock single exhaust to dual flowmasters. What are the parts I would need. and any instructions that would help put it in w/o going to a shop. Thanks

Hello, have you tried reading the exhaust sticky at the top of the forum? You'll find most of the answers to your questions there...

OK
1.) get a V6 V6 x pipe, it won't do squat for performance over other mid pipes, but does generate the best sound.
2.) get a GT cat back system, that's GT, not V6.
3.) sorry Harv, but flows aren't the best thing for a six, if your tight for cash then they'll work, but Flows are really intended for V8s. Most shops will tell you to get either Magnaflows, or Borlas, and a few will reccommend Bassini, but very few will actually recommend Flows or pypes, or any of those other V8 intended brands, because they just don't quite sound right on a six, and if you get the wrong muffler or brand, you'll come out sounding like rice. If you want a good idea of what Flows sound like, listen to 03yellowponys clip, that's about the best Flow set up I've heard, but it's still just OK in my opinion, but damn is that car bad ***.

Oh, one more thing
4.) Get a shop to install the kit, because unless you have a life, and a welder, yes I know, most kits bolt together, bolts come undone over time, and welding is always secure and leak free if done right. You'll aslo need a passenger side hanger mount which is rather hard to come by as most exhaust shops have them, but will rarely sell them.

Just ask NewMex about bolting it up.
