See if these guys can get it for you ... I just ordered a BUNCH of stuff from them and they were excellent. They are a dealer in Ohio so when you call ask for the parts department and than whoever handles their Roush parts. The prices will be better over the phone than online.

I got all my Roush components for my stang through them...call them up and they will give you a discount as well...Roush offroad dual rear exit is $571.43 with free shipping...shipping is usually 3-4 days max. Great customer service....

Call them up and mention you heard from them on here or FNsweet.com

Hope that helps.

Hey brian2k....

Yeah I have no mechanic skills at all
I hear you buddy :-) Me neither. I typically describe myself as "mechanically declined" :-) LOL

Thank God I have a couple of friends who are awesome / certified mechanics, one of whom's specialty, is installing exhaust systems.
I'll be visiting him Monday morning to figure out exactly what exhaust we are going to go with (almost sure it will be a dual MagnaFlow though) then back to install it the next morning.

Peace,
Fish

I just had my Flowmaster 40 Series taken off my truck, sounded great on the outside, very aggresive BUT, the interior resonance (aka Drone) was awful.
I had it on for about 4 years and that is all I could take, I just replaced it yesterday with an 18" Magnaflow. Still sounds good on the outside but absolutly no drone.

You mean to say, Flow sounds louder (I wouldnt want to hear that drone all the time- their tone kinda reminds me of those old school 6cyl Camaro RS exhaust systems from the 80's). If my Maggies were as loud as the Flowmaster, I'd be completely satisfied. I like the tone of my Magnaflows- but it only sounds good when I am on it fairly hard. As Thumper said, its kinda quiet.
Im looking into the Dynamax Bullets next

I just installed my magnaflow friday - and basically spent my entire weekend running errands in attempt to stay in my truck. sounds awsome. Definately the right sound i was looking for. My 18" is definately loud enough in conjunction with headers and cats - but if u want yours loud i'm sure you could just buy one of their smaller mufflers and have a mechanic fab it up??

funny how a newly installed Magnaflow will keep you from listening to your sound system and get you to waste gas- just to hear it

That's awesome. I'm sure I will be doing the same thing.
