We'll a shop to do it would cost you about $500-700 depending on the shop..and you probably wouldn't get a pair as nice as that..and they wouldn't be mandrel bent either most likely...
So I'd say a fair price would be in that same neighborhood I'd venture to say..nothing less than $500 for sure.

Since my last post above I did completely redo mine myself with 3" and 2.5" mandrel bent over the axle and it kicks *** compared to what that bone head muffler shop did the first time around.

My 2.5" mandrel bent true dual system was about $800 if you delete the
cats. That's the muffler shop price, and he does very clean work.

z28roxy- did you do all the work for 500 or is that what you payed a muffler shop?
Ive only got one quote from a shop and they told me 1100, i laughed and walked out.

I was just wondering if any of you have had any issues with the pipes rubbing under aceleration or hard turns or any of that type stuff? I am afraid I would get every thing finished and it would rub the floorpan somewhere.

Make sure your motor mounts aren't worn or get a poly mount on the driver side, that will keep the motor from torquing over any. Mine have a hanger on the tail snout of the tranny and connects right around the X-pipe and then a hanger on each muff at the rear bumper and are rock solid, the pipes hardly move at all.

boostd99ss

what kind of saw are you using to cut the pipe straight. I read where Jchevy puts the band clamp to make a straight cut but just wondering what I need to use to cut it.

jchevy

I havent had any problems withrubbing. I have poly motor mounts and a poly trans mount. The only issue I had was the I had to reweld a hangar twice. I think thats just because the two hangars in the back are supporting all the weight.

I used a cheap chop saw to make all the cuts. If you dont have one its worth buying. I beleive its either a 14" or 15" saw.

wow, you guys all got ripped. It cost me $200 to build my true duals with spiral flows

got the mufflers used for $40 shipped
x-pipe setup was like 100
clamps
hangers

welded it up myself

and now, i have to ditch em anyways

Just a chop cutting wheel saw like mentioned above. They come in very handy for tons of other things, can get a cheap one at Harbor Freight for about $35 if you don't need an industrial strength one. The one I got was on sale for $29 there, it lasted long enough to build my entire steel garage and do my true dual exhaust then it crapped out..but had a 3 year warranty so I took it back and got another for nothing

jchevy

Are your duals out the back of the car, over the axle? There is more than $200 in materials to do so. Or do they dump before the axle?

reamo04

they dump right at the axle. I was going to go over the axle, but, ran out of time.

And, my bends were only $5/piece

Some people like over the axle like me.
Thanks for the pics. I going to have mine built now.
