does anyone know of a true dual exhaust kit, or do i havve to fab one up myself? i would like to do one with high flow cats, with the option of headers in the future.

 

Yes there are true dual kits on the market and i think most of the major companies produce one so you should be able to find what ever you want. I believe flowmaster has a kit that isn't too expensive but most of the others should as well just do a search.

 

yeah, def did a search before writing this thread to no avail. thats why im hitting up this community for suggestions. thanks though.

 

I can't help you with the exhaust, but I can tell you it helps others help you if you list/include:

1. model year
2. engine
3. 2x4 or 4x4
4. cab
5. wheel base
6. transmission
7. mods that may affect the 'new mod' (i.e., [in this case tuner] lift or lowered, wheels and/or tires, etc.)

This is true for almost any post - not just yours...

 

I would look straight at some of their websites plus I think autoanything.com has a kit on its site that you can purchase (not sure of manufacture though).

 

Have you tried a fab shop yet? Most muffler shops will custom bend applications for you that will end up being less expensive than a kit.
I had a Flowmaster muffler with a 2.75" pipe on my 5.0 Explorer and it was hundreds less than the 2.5" kit from Flowmaster. Plus it was "custom"...like that matters!

 

so i got my true dual exhaust put in today. and man, what a difference. coupled with a hypertech tuner, and CAI, i got a pretty good combo goin on. i took your advice MCDavis, shopped around a few places and ended up at Richards Performance Muffler out here in Oceanside Ca. totally pleased with the way it looks and the mild sound to it.

 

Looks good!

 

Looks great! Glad that the fab shop worked for you. I went the same route on my 5.0 Explorer b/c no one made a pipe large enough and I wanted a nice deep tone. Had them fab up a Flowmaster 50 series and a 2.75" pipe and man was it deep.
Are those Magnaflow mufflers?
The custom crossover they made looks pretty cool. I wonder why they did that instead of an "H-pipe" to equalize the flow.

 

those are flowmaster 40series. i had asked them to do the x-pipe instead of an h-pipe. ive always ran xpipes on all of my cars and trucks, so why not now, ya know? They really did a good job though .

 

I'm an idiot. I didn't see it until just now that the mufflers are angled up and not laying flat, DUH! Love the flowmaster product and I'm sure that the 40 series through true duals sounds awesome.
Congrats on what seems to be a great install!
Now if the wife would just let me open up Blue Ox a little. In due time...
