Why isn't there a production true dual exhaust that exits out the rear?
With the high demand, why isn't there a system like this produced yet? The Texas Speed setup is just over $400 with the bullet mufflers. Even a 2.5" system with some nice mufflers that sold for $550-600 would make a killing. Seems like a no-brainer.
Instead we all have to go hunting for a shop that can rig something up for us. There are none near where I live so having a production exhaust like this would be very nice.

I'm not talking about a custom fit, per car, job. Someone just needs to design a standard out of the box one (like a catback) and market it. Piping and mufflers wouldn't be too much of the cost, and someone priced it right, they could make a killing.
$1200-1500 for a setup where you have to get your car to a shop just isn't that reasonable of a price. No wonder so many people go under the axle from a local shop.

the only problem with that is there are too many variables. stock manifolds with or without cats, headers shorty's,mid length and lt's. it would be nice tho.im still all stock and cant make up my mind yet.now that my wife is working it will be easier to hide the deliveries.

and Jam01 is correct, to many variables. hell, my TSP dumps which are sposed to be an easy bolt on had to be modified and clearance is almost non existant is some places. i cant imagine trying to fab up a full dual setup.
your best bet if you want, is to buy the tubing and piping from summit or jegs and make your own duals.

How many people have bought the piping and mufflers themselves, and made their own kit? What is the roundabout price on that if you have access to a welder and can do the work to get it to fit?

It will probably be awhile before something like that comes along again.

Yes, I too am sketchy on the details but I remembered thinking that it was worth the money and had a lot of work in it. It's too bad really. I could recommend duals to EVERYBODY if there was a standard out the back system. As it stands there is still the slight issue of occasional fumes and apparently that bothers some people. Go figure.

thats why i laugh when people always want a loud exhaust, because be careful what you wish for

I have a lot of fumes, but nothing I can't put up with. My wife keeps saying my car "stinks". I kind of like the smell, sort of like old school. But I am going to get a tune soon and I hear that clears up the smell. As for volume, I love it. Yes it is loud, but damn it sounds so good!
