I brought my two of tanabe exhaust and went to some muffler shops..

(i'm gonna do the custom dual exhaust..)

and.. they said.. it's gonna be around $400 for custom dual piping...

is that.. that expensive?? i'll be ripped off? or is that the normal price..

well.. that was just their estimates.. they said that it might be little more..but not less..

tooo expensive man..

where should i go? and.. what should i do? hmmmmmmm

 

Duals are $$$. Thats why not many people have them.

 

you are losing power with duals

its not worth it with our POS engines

i would stic to a nice single deep exhaust, duals look nice but you lose power in the long run and you will have LESS low end power now cause of the backpressure is lost with more than one muffler

 

I say stick with single exhaust...and let me borrow the other one

Or I'll see if I can dig up money to buy it off you? first hearing how it sounds, etc

 

make sure they do it with a Y pipe.

also get a guarantee from them that if any of the hangers

slip out of place or any slight fuckups occur that they will fix it.

i think that 400 is straight. DEFINATELY go for it. Our cars are

slow as it is, your kit would look so sick with those duals. I dont

think anyone has done duals with classy mufflers like those.

Most people get duals that are cheap. Oh and if your concerned

about losing power, im pretty sure that you could have it done

so that the pressure comes mostly out of one side, i dont know how

to explain it, but like a straight back exhaust with one pipe on a

diagonal.

This is my opinion, you dont have 2 take it and go with it, but hey,

thats whut we are all here for, right.

 

400 sounds good. custom piping for my car came out to be 200. id say go with it, if ya really wanna do it. also, arent you the one with caspers kit- the modified blackwidow kit with one side shaved exhaust outlet?

 

i was thinking that to..you gonna have to redo the bumper right?

 

 

i was just looking for that exact picture lnsyone....... ..you beat me to it

 

haha.

ballin fabrication

 

yeah...that's another problem...lol

damn.. i thought it would be done w/o any problems..but a lot!!

well.. i'm 90% sure i'll do the custom duals...

but.. i don't know how it will look like if i just cut the other side of rear bumper..

1. should i cut first and install 'em..?

and.. later, when i do the custom job, should i mold? or shaved it?

or..

2. should i cut the other side of bumper and do the custom job and everything... and.. do the duals?

well..that's not that big problem.. but.. it will look ugly if i just cut..

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i don't know!!!!

 

thanks for telling me...

but.. i'm not a real racer..and i don't care 'bout the HP..

i know our cl is slow.. even though we get turbo or whatever..

and.. i don't drive that fast all the time..

so.. yeah.. hehe

 

i say get the bumper customized..then install..instead of installing one then spending more moeny to do it later...get the bumper done first...if not..then just install one for now

 

i meant..

i'll just cut the other side of bumper for temporary..

to make 'em fit..

and.. install the duals..

then.. when i do the custom job, i will shave the bumper or something..

got it?

or..

just wait.. and.. shaved, molded and then get the duals..?

 

I paid 100 for my custom piping (for single)....200 is a rip....unless itz mandrel bent....

 

lol...im cofused just install them damnit..

 

mandrel bent sucka

btw, your dual exhaust project will most likely set you back a 1g, or so.

 

yeah.. when i went to bucky muffler shop, the guy said that someone paid $1500 for custom chrome piping from engine to back..lol... and he told me if i wanted to do it... i said.. hell no!

 

well.. the cheapest one is around $160.. for $100 is real cheap i think..

and... he said that if i get the catback piping, it's gonna be more

 

damn, i paid 100 for my custom cat back piping....how is it that it'll be more if you go with a catback set up....after all, isnt that what you'd pay for?...what exactly are they charging you for?....

 

just go buy a pipe from a hardware store...use a hammer and a lot of heating..it may take you a few days...but its a lot cheaper

 

well.. $165 is for just custom piping(not dual, just single).. and.. if i get catback they said that it's gonna be $100 more..

well.. i have no idea w/ price on it.. so... i was like.. "okay;;.." i came back..


and.. just dual custom piping is $365.. (not catback..)

gosh.. i don't know where i should go....

 

do it for me! i'll give you $100 for labor..

 

I paid 300+ for my mandrell bent stainless job. I thought I got ripped, but maybe not.All I know is it was cheaper than the HKS....$750!!!!

 

it will cost u more than $400 thats for damn sure.

 

go to MIDAS!! I got my duals done there a long time ago. They charged me about $200 for the install. I lost alot of power and lost my spare tire space All back to normal now tho. If you're going all show then do it. If not don't.

 

what about taking some wrapping paper tubes with some toilet paper tubes and use those?

 

you lost ur spare tire space?? how did that work?
