Default TD exhaust install

LF some opinions on who does great TD install in or around the Abilene area. Not a problem driving to DFW or elsewhere no to far. Looking for over the axle if possible. I have checked damn near all shops here in town and they are either too lazy or say its impossible which is BS. I heard about someone called ray at fortress but cant find a number or name of shop. Anyways looking to see what you had done and where and about how much it cost so I can get some ideas together after I get my headers in. Thanks all!

lol ty for the response. Kooks over the axle TD's hurts my sack when I see that price tag. I know here in TX the SI laws state it needs to be past the axle to pass inspection. Anyone have any problems in this area getting inspected? Im an inspector but not going to write the sticker on my own car. Might just get the TSP duals then drive up to Dallas to get it ran over the axle. Someone has to have had this done here. Kepp the ideas coming fellas!

I has my duals run under the axel the first time I had some and I liked it. It was just a set of tsp dual and a muffler shop finished it out with crush bent pipe. $1600 is actually pretty good considering the labor involved.

i had bassani t/d's on my old t/a... i highly recommend ray at fortress, he fixed my duals after the shop that initially installed them hacked it all up... i know he fabs up his own setups as well... he used to be right by tdp but i heard he shut down and reopened but i don't know if he's in the same building or not... you might try to get ahold of tdp and i'm sure he can get ray's info for you... you might also search this forum, there was a thread not too long ago and if my memory serves me right someone posted his new #
