How much did your muffler shop charge you to fab and install your true duals not including the cost of the bullets?

$450 out the door, that includes parts and labor. I dropped off the keys, then later drove away with true duals.

How do you like the spiral flows? Specifically regarding drone & interior noise?

I spent close to $800 for my setup, but I have the option to swap in carsound cats or off-road pipes. I believe you can find pictures by clicking on the link in my sig, it tucks in real nice It is just going to depend on where/who you have doing your setup as to how much you pay and the quality of work done.

i spent about 350 total, headers back to the dumps before the axles.. i used a 3" dr. gas x-pipe kit, bullet mufflers, and had a local shop weld it all up.

i'm currently working on running two 2.5" pipes over the right axle so i can run some real mufflers in the system to quiet it down some. the drone is killing me. i'm gonna put cut-outs where the dumps are right now so i won't lose any of my performance either

Mine cost me about $300 the was 2.5 inch all the way back to the rear and then 2.25 over the axle out the back. They threw in a custom x pipe but it sucks but works better then having nothing. Going to get that changed in the furture when I install the long tubes.

Oh and I have no mufflers at all not to loud no rasp either.
