GT take-offs duals installed!
I had the shop cut out the y-pipe and replaced it with an h-pipe, fabbed the mid-pipe for the driver side, Used one bracket from the right muffler to help with alignment on left side. Then he fabbed the other hangers.
I notched the bumper myself with a dremel. It was easy just nerve racking making that initial cut. But I'm glad I did, the sound is just what I wanted.
Thanks to all who supplied the sound clips, tutorials, and suggestions. They were a big help.
And here's the icing on the cake.......
GT take-off mufflers $88.00 (shipped from Diversified Marketing off EBAY)
Labor for install $100.00
Total-----------------$188.00 [sm=smiley20.gif]
Living in a small town has its advantages!
No outrageous labor cost!!

What town do you stay in because I called a shop and they were trying to charge me $600! I need to visit your town....

Be sure you figure out the cost of gas to get here! You might still end up paying $600 with gas prices so high.. [sm=smiley36.gif]

Believe me, I was totally shocked when he told me the cost! I was expecting 200-300 like most were paying.
He actually quoted me $75 over the phone for the install , but upped it to $100 after he looked at my car.
It was the first '05-6 V6 he's put duals on. And what's even more cool, is that he drives a 2004 Mach1 !!

RE: GT take-offs duals installed!
one question ? did he install clamps at the "H" or is it all welded? i hope he installed clamps so that it can all be removed. if you ever need service to your trany or to replace the fuel tank it helps.
