We have a shop here in NC that can do the job and do it right. But that would be a long ride from Chicago and back.

LS1 Speed in Chicago builds true duals for our cars. Just drive over there and have them build you a set.

I don't see how you could get away with spending less then $900 for a good custom setup, especially if the person has alot of experience and has it down by science. I'm a cheapskate, but when it comes down to quality and not wanting to risk doing it over again, I will pay the extra to get it done right the first time, hence why I paid $495 for Lane's welded setup vs. TSP's universal kit.

Straightline Performance is a sponsor. I got a quote for custom true duals out back for 750. Im not sure if its over or under the axle though. Im sure they could do whatever you wanted.

My car domain link in my sig has pics of my "over-axle" true duals. Its a little ways from Chicago though. North Carolina. Not many people will try to do over axle true duals on f-bodies.

It's because he's typing with the capslock key on, making every letter capitalized. This site doesn't allow that so each word retains the first capitalized letter and not the rest.
