Exhaust drama I've been planning to get true duals for some time now but I can't find a shop to do them. I have Kooks headers with and ORY into my stock WS6 catback. I have a cutout but with it open it is too loud and with it closed it is too quiet. I got stopped by a cop the other day for it being open so I capped it. Also, on a a side note, I noticed a decrease in gas milage as well.(may have been running rich through the cut out) My question is.....should I buy a Catback for the meantime until I find the means to get the duals? Or not even waste the money? I was considering getting a Magnaflow which is on GP right now for 350. What does everyone think?
I just ordered a magnaflow from transamws686 for $315. I am very excited to get it . I have longtubes with a catted y and my car is louad enough! I think you would be happy with a cat back unless you plan on putting alot more HP to your motor in the near future.

I've tried calling alot of places. Mufflex is near me but they wont do it. Kooks & TTP never make a commitment and/or never get back to me. And as for the local muffler shop, I am not comfortable with their work.
LOL, 200 bucks. Maybe in your neck of the woods but not here. Try about 500 to 1000 for aluminized, dumps or out-back, respectively; and 1000 to 1600 for stainless, dumps or out-back, respectively. I've even spec'ed out all the parts in stainless from the bend angles to band clamps but can't find a place willing to work with me on this.

I just called the Kooks and TTP but they were really not interested. I called them a couple times before but nothing ever manifested so I thought to give it one more shot. Kooks quoted about 2500 and I got "a really expensive" from the TTP. I know they are jacking up the price to cover themselves if it turns into a nitemare for them on a two day install but mostly, I think, because they really don't want to do it. I remember when I first starting inquiring about it (from some of the same places)and I got quoted possibly 1600 and I was like no way. Some places around here are just not interested in doing it because they already have a catback and Y pipe for the LS1. Noone will make a commitment to price or install but I don't want to have a place do it and say "OK that will be your first born child please" I think I will just have to give up on it. No sense in paying that insane price.
