Dual Tailpipe install started....VIDEO LINK ADDED

Started my FM 50SUV and 2-1/2" dual tailpipe install yesterday. Spent the better part of the afternoon trying to get everything lined up right so everything clears and looks good. I'm a bit **** about making sure everything looks "just right" even the stuff underneath, so it's taking a little longer than it probably should. I'll post some pictures later today or tomorrow.

This is the kit I'm installing:
Mandrel Dual Exhaust Pipes Chevy GMC Toyota Dodge Ford - eBay (item 190439660622 end time Apr-01-11 13:39:58 PDT)

Overall I'd say the fit and finish is pretty good, it's a little cozy to the shocks and swaybar, but clears fine.

I'm also using a 3" single center inlet/2.5" dual outlet FM 50SUV 530552.

Will keep you posted.
Thanks!
Pat

I have the Flowmaster 530702 which is the same thing just in the 70 series. Sounds good, no drone.

Looking forward to your results and photos.

Would the pipe kit let you mount the muffler vertically like the stocker, or does it have to mount flat?

I started off with it mounted vertically, but the pipes didn't line up very well, so I had to lay it flat. There is still room to do that, but I had to "tweak" the heat shield for the muffler to gain more clearance.

I also had to fab an "S" pipe to get from the back of the converter to the muffler.

I'll try to get some pics posted tonight or this weekend.

It sounds very nice, a low rumble at idle, and the 18" tips give it a nice "warble". So far I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I haven't driven it yet, but I'll let you know how that goes.

Pat.

YouTube - Flowmaster Ford F-250 V10 I know this is a single outlet but it sounds close to this. Thank you to tresV10 on Youtube for posting this vid.

Ok, here's a vid of my truck.

YouTube - 2000 F250 Ford V10 Exhaust Flowmaster 50 SUV

Forgot to add the tailpipes and muffler are aluminized. Not as good as stainless, but for as much as I drive it I think it'll last me awhile.

The highest RPM I revved it to was 3000. Idled about 900-1000ish.

Sorry it took so long. Any questions?

Pat
