Need help/suggestions w/ DIDO setup
Need help/suggestions w/ DIDO setup
Edit: Instead of a DIDO - meant to say True Dual.
Howdy all!
Been lurking for a few months from my last postings in the exhaust forum. What I wanted to get some input on is the route to take w/ parts and labor etc etc that I will be needed.
Looking to build a custom True Dual w/ a X connector pipe (the X) or the H depending on cost. I've read that these usually do cost more due to more parts and probably labor. I am not a super savvy mechanical guy so jumping up under the truck and making this a DIY won't happen. Also plan on having the parts welded anyways so I lack the tools in that area. Presentling thinking of Magnaflows and keeping it to a 2.5" pipes, tips I am pondering but those are far easier for me to locate and purchase.
So I know I need the following:
2 Magnaflow mufflers (not sure on which models would be the most appropriate)
X Connector/joint or H connector
Exhaust tips
In terms of any other materials I am sortof at a loss, I know "pipes" but I am thinking a muffler shop may have to provide these. And on that topic what ideally is expected in terms of labor for this roughly? I know shops aren't always super keen on people bringing their equipment in and using them just for an install.
Any/all thoughts are appreciated everyone and happy Friday!
