Hell my exhaust was a grand, but I don't have true duals either. I will just say that you don't want to cheap out on exhaust. If the shop is reputable and known to do a good job then $600 is better than multiple headaches in the future due to leaks and such.

Will it fit any LT headers combo? Remember, some left LT headers point more straight while others swing outward more. Do they give you the adjustability to go either way?

This is what we charge to do duals...
Knowing what I know about making TD's, this seems reasonable assuming the quality is A+. See the TD's in my sig. I would not even start the discussion for any less than $1400.00

Sorry, it is guaranteed to fit Jet Hot/Hooker long tube headers. Any competent exhaust shop could set it up either way though...

i will have to call them tomorrow and ask but im kind of guessing its probably crush. they have a website http://iowamufflersandbrake.weebly.com/ and it shows pictures of other systems they made for cars. im really dont know much about exhaust but it looks to me like they did some crush and some welding mandrel. i live in des moines iowa so i dont have a ton of options hah some shops tell me "cant run them true duals in them camaros wont fit with that driveshaft brace and it'd just rattle on everything" but they are the same people that said "cant fit long tube headers on those camaros you'd just drag em on the ground"

I bought a 3 inch summit X pipe kit and 2 bullets. I spent 280 installed, my freind is a professional welder so he only charged me a 100 bucks.

Um yeah, you'll get "unwanted" attn. from your local po if you"re dumped. Mine's currently dumped & I'mabout to build another system but she does sound like a screamin banshee!



Quick Reply: $600 sound right for custom true duals?
