Terrible, crooked, Dual Install
I've seen a lot of V6's go dual here on the forums. I took mine to get duals installed at this local shop, and when I went to pick it up, the right side muffler was so high upit MELTED part of the bumper. The bumper was literally wrapped around the muffler, and the left side was all crooked and to the left. I couldn't believe my eyes. I paid them $200 to weld and h-pipe and install everything. I am so unbelievable angry, my setup looks like absolute garbage. To top it off, the right side muffler sticks out more than the other, and there is RATTLING @ 1500 RPMs from the over axle pipe TOUCHING THE FRAME.
I don't have any pics... too pissed. Will post though.

I would recommend taking it back to the place you had install it and either getting your money back or make them fix it.
I installed mine myself and didn't turn out that bad.

RE: Terrible, crooked, Dual Install
Did you notice any of these problems before you paid the bill? If not take it back and give them a chance to make things right. I was very happy with my dual conversion when I picked it up at the shop. Now when I am sitting in traffic with the car in drive and my foot on the brake pedal I hear a rattle in the exhaust system. When I get the time I will take it back to the shop and ask if they can fix the problem.

Go back to the shop and go right to the manager.

RE: Terrible, crooked, Dual Install
The only reason it looks ok is due to the fact I spent 4 hours twisting and monkeying w/ the mufflers until they looked somewhat ok. The right one still sticks out more, and the left is twisted wrong.
I had to feed the "prong" attached to the right muffler UNDER the normal install hole to get it to not touch the bumper, that's how crooked the pipes are.

Why are you even touching it? Just take it back. The more you try to "fix" it.. the less of a chance you have of it actually getting fixed.
