Just set up an appointment with the exhaust shop for a new dual exhaust system. No more booger welds and low hanging pipes anymore. Hell yes.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of price are you talking for duals?

I went to a local exhaust shop I've been using for a few years. Told them I have full length headers with ball and socket collectors and a double hump crossmember... They were happy with that figured it might help keep the price close to $950...

I was quoted for $400ish for a single factory style exhaust with the transverse muffler, and $550 for a dual exhaust with an h-pipe and dumps at the rear bumper. He said my pipes down from the manifolds were reusable, which gave me a bit of a break on price.

See thats way more reasonable, I would have jumped on that. $950 as a starting price for a true dual 2.25" exhaust with no crossover out of aluminized pipe with crush bends seems a little high to me.

Insurance for both my G vehicles, my Monte and my Van. The forms and the pictures went to my insurance broker today.

I believe mine will be 1 3/4 inch pipe, but I forgot to ask.

Can't recall what I originally paid for the true dual system that currently belongs to my Monte. Think I heintzed it together from ells and tubing a looong time ago. If I had to do it again there would be more butt weld joints because the Mig makes them a lot easier and simpler than used to be the case.

When I finished my engine swap 3yrs ago, Meineke did my dual exhaust with x-pipe and MagnaFlow mufflers for a little over $600. They side-exit in front of the rear wheels.

I supplied the cats and mufflers and got a custom 2.5" SS from headers to exit behind rear wheels for $650. That was about 6 or 7 years ago and nothing has been changed except for a hanger or 2
