Maybe Im lucky and found a good bender over 30 years ago, I cant see why a person would not just get the muffler changed at a muffler shop? There is nothing wrong with the factory pipes, just change the muffler. They are under 200 installed.

Some people want dual exhaust. I see your point if they are planning in coming out only one side.

Is this a fact??? Seriously are the pipes going to the muffler the same as the ones being offered in the system? If so then I'm just buying the muffler

Most of my exhaust have been duals, my bender leaves one side adds muffler and runs the dual side. In the last few years with the exhaust already big enough on a stock engine you can y after the cats run a dual in and out muffler or two mufflers with two tail pipes. Still lots cheaper than a complete mail order exhaust.

The point is they are not leaving HP or gas mileage on the table anymore by exhaust flow. That's way there are so many cats and muffler and resonator. Your just gaining sound.

Fair enough. I wish i had a bender to make my own exhaust. I think im gonna leave stock piping change muffler to a 18" magnaflow and put on a nice dual tip

I did muffler delete for a while, didn't sound bad. I wanted quieter so I added back a muffler to just a bit over stock. The muffler delete cost me 40$, its a good place to start. most younger people thought that was still too quiet, you could always remove the resonator too. If that doesn't do it for you then put your magaflow on or flowmaster. Edited by KARNUT

I don't care for premade systems. I just go to a local shop in town that's great with exhaust. That way it's cheaper and they can do exactly what you want. I just had them take everything from the muffler back and put in a single in/dual out Super 44 and it sounds awesome.

A shop that can do exhaust will be able to do whatever you want. I had a shop take everything from the muffler back out and had a single in/dual out Super 44. I also have the tailpipes coming out one on each side behind each tire at 45°. So to do that you don't need a premade system. The parts and install was cheaper than just a premade system by itself.

Was it stainless steel pipe?

Not really sure, but I have black chrome tips and the muffler is also black. They only charged a little over $300 for everything and all joints are welded instead of just clamps.

Dual exhaust = 1980's

I said something like that in a post a few months ago and got SLAMMED by someone asking me if my Corvette had duals! :lol: Always something... :D Everyone has a right to their opinion. :thumbs:

For me dual exhaust and how I want it setup is from my OCD lol. Having just the one tailpipe was killing my OCD. I got to have 2 tailpipes and one on each side no matter if it's straight back or what. My old 98 actually came with true duals from the front to the back with just 1 muffler dual in/dual out.
