pipe for ds over axle pipe
pipe for h pipe

For them to charge u more than 110-150 would be insane lol at least around here ....... This is Knoxville not So Cal or NY lol
just my .02
Heck I paid my shop $200 to install mine and I had the mufflers, x pipe and mid pipe. The reason it costs so much, they had to fabricate a better clamp. I will say, even though I had to shell out some dough, it doesn't rattle or vibrate anywhere.

No exhaust leaks here!
BTW, I would have bought FRPP IF they would have been available when I was shopping for an exhaust set up.

Here's my $.02. I bought two GT(auto) take-offs online for $90 (shipped). I paid $105 for a Pypes X-pipe. Went to a local Midas shop.yesterday.....they said they could manufacture the driver side over-the-axle pipe (non-mandrel bent) and install everything for $175. (Yes..I know I paid too much for the GT takeoffs..I got them on eBay and see other people have bought from the same seller for as low as $45)

Also, I had my windows tinted and yesterday and I got the guy to notch out my rear bumper using a dremel tool and the template I downloaded from American Muscle.com or Pypes.com..can't remember which. Took him less than five minutes to do and it looks good.

Oh...just today I ordered a driver's side intermediate pipe from http://www.rockauto.com for $39.....so my install costs should drop by atleast that much...if not more.

I want to go dual as well. I have a single Flowmaster 40 Series exhaust and sounds good. Would dual exhaust sound a lot louder (I'm guessing yeah ) than having single and does anybody here have that set-up?
Thanks

I don't have Flowmaster, but just with the two GT mufflers it sounds way better than the wimpy V6 one.

Here's a link that has many different exhaust sound clips. You can also check YouTube;
