That doesn't make sense. Stock you have a Y-pipe that comes off the cats, then goes straight out to a single muffler. If you get a second V6 stock pipe, you'll end up have to cut/bend pipes, or get a Y/X/H pipe, in order for them to hook up to the original stock setup. It's probably more expensive than just getting a cat back kit.

The cheapest route route is probably to go with a faux dual system that connects your stock Y-pipe to an aftermarket Y-pipe, then out to the dual mufflers (e.g. GT take-offs).

And, once you flip the muffler over, pay someone to cut off and mount new hangers - you have the problem that now your inlet is facing the wrong way also so you need to cut that off and fabricate one that faces the correct way. So your "cheap" method will be much more expensive to fix the muffler.

And you still need to get either an H or X pipe, cut and splice it in and buy the driver side over axle pipe. Going dual is more than just buying a second muffler.

So you have to get: 2 new mufflers, an X, Y or H pipe(mid pipe?) and hangers, mounting brackets, etc. for the the pipes and mufflers. And if there are two Y pipes then that's not true duallies! But does the cost justify the means? In other words, If I'm going to spend +$500 bones on duallies, then I would want true duallies! Not just the look (and sound) of a dual exhaust that functions like a single. And it'll add weight to the vehicle.
I wonder what Midas(or some muffler shop) would charge for all this?

Most muffler shops probably already have the equipment for hangers and brackets (both shops I visited did).

When I got my cat-back Magnaflow dualies back in '05, I paid about $360 for the entire system and another $200 for the installation. An X/H pipe would've increased my costs into $700+ territory.

Mine was true Dual Exhaust, the X-Pipe hooked up to the Stock pipes and the mufflers I think I got for under $50 on EBay. I also did the instal myself on Jack stands and cut the original Y pipe with a Sawzall. Bought the extra Band Clamp from NAPA and the hangers and X from American Muscle. I did get the Left Over the Axle Pipe from Ford since I wanted OEM and not After Market but you can get it at any auto parts store.

Hey Spartan IV....Does Epona have any connection to Links horse? If so that's awesome! Back to the topic.....But do you guys have any drone? All that money put into an undesirable effect can, well, suck. Drone or not I will get true duallies someday. A tuner is for sure this year, duallies maybe next. CAI after that or inbetween somewhere(not very costly) and then I can pick up some hot chicos!!!!!!
Uhh do you know of any that live in Michigan?

And I'm not going to 8mile for that! lol

I had no Drone with the GT500 mufflers on mine.
My 13 has Borla Touring on it and no drone either.

Pypes are the low end of the quality ladder.
They wont last long before leaks develop.
