Exhaust question

I would like to put duals on my truck mostly for sound and looks as I know I really won't get any kind of performance out of it.

I'm looking for something that comes as a kit that has its exits behind the wheels on both sides. Does anyone know of a company (prefer Magnaflow) that makes this kit?

Thanks,

Jim

MBRP makes a kit... the issue with the prefab kits like that is adjusting the tips so they are even on both sides

I'd just take it to a local shop and have them custom build you one. Alot of times this can be alot cheaper.
I'd pre-buy your muffler and tips, and take them in and have them build you the kit.
That is what I did on my past 3 vehicles. Its A LOT cheaper. And it would be all weld on instead of bolt on.

I have had good and bad luck doing that. My other car I had a high flow cat and some other welding on the exhaust and they really over charged me.

I'm not sure exactly where to run them out the sides behind each wheel, Anybody have some good pictures they can post up or send?

Thanks,

Jim

Custom work is the only way to go! Why pay for someone else's idea, when you can build it your self?

Exactly it's like buying a Harley Davidson getting some parts out of a catalog bolting them up and saying you got a custom bike.
