I have a pair of these 12" tips (36473) for about 7 or 8 years now, I polish them a couple of times a year, they still look great, some 140,000 miles later
That sounds really high to me, but I may just be lucky. I have a local guy that does all of my exhaust work. Now, he's probably not your guy if you need show car level quality, but for routine exhaust work, he rocks. Heck, he may be able to do some beautiful work, my vehicles just don't deserve it. They're function>form cars.
I might just get creative and run the exhaust myself, as it's not a show piece truck, it's just for hauling and working. When I had my 72 f100, I had a shop put shorty headers on it, and run dual 2.5" with an h pipe, flowmasters and tips (I supplied the h pipe, flowmasters and tips, and he charged me $500 to take the manifolds and stock exhaust off and put everything else on, which I thought was reasonable. But he's the one now charging me $500 to do half of what I had done to the 72. Do you have any pictures of the exhaust underneath your truck?

One guy above lives in Delaware, another guy lives in Arkansas. Big difference. I am surprised eriks250 is actually finding shops that will make a dual exhaust system in Delaware. Most shops won't in my area, it's technically not legal on a emissions vehicle that had a single exhaust as stock. Each state varies as far as how strict they enforce the rules. I would imagine Arkansas doesn't much care. But since Biden and the democrats got back in, they have been cracking down hard. It's all over the internet how they are putting heavy fines on diesel shops that sell bypass equipment. There are even rumors going around that they want to crack down on racing. They don't care if the car or truck will never see the street again, if the car or truck was born with emissions, if it's going to be operated in any manner it has to have those original emissions intact. Not sure if they are going to be able to enforce that rule but they have been talking about it.
If you do get the dual exhaust made in Delaware, just be aware if you ever move to another state, the rules are interpreted differently and it may no be road legal in that state.

Franklin, there's alot of exhaust shops around my area that do dual exhaust while retaining the emission equipment. In my state, if your vehicle came with catalytic converters then your vehicle must have them on there to pass inspection. The only time you could get around that is if you're tagging a vehicle as classic or antique and you only have to run.it through inspection one time. After you pass, you can do whatever you want to the exhaust so long as it's not too loud because you won't have to ever run it through inspection so long as you keep your tag active. The dmv will then mail you paperwork to fill out to renew your registration and then you'll get new stickers. My truck is over 8,500 gvw, which in Delaware is emission exempt, so I don't have to worry about anything emission related. I heard Porsche has developed an fuel for our engines to run off of that produces zero emissions and is trying to get it out on the market for us to use at the pump so we can still have our gas engines. I hope it comes soon and is more affordable

I see you have done your homework. Just didn't want you to be surprised after spending a bunch of money on it.
I will let you all know how I make out with these headers, it might be a little while before I put them on. I'm in the process of getting the truck ready to be run through inspection and put on the road (new tires, rebuilding the carb, replacing the valve cover and oil pan gaskets etc.) The single exhaust that's on it now as crude as it looks should be good enough to get it through inspection before I can start tackling that. I'm still too in the process of figuring out how I want to go about doing the rest of my exhaust on the more affordable side. Even with me having headers and buying my own mufflers and tips, exhaust shops around my area are wanting at least $500 to do it which I think is kind of high. If I can at least find dual tailpipes that exit out each corner (45ed) then I could probably plum the rest up myself. Off topic a little lol, but if anyone is looking for a good deal on tires for your truck, Walmart.com has some really good prices. I bought some Cooper Discover A/T All Season 265/75r16s for $115 each with free shipping. Just thought I would pass the word along to help anyone. Have a good day everyone
hiw did those headers work out for you? Looking at buying a set for 94 f150 4x4 5.8 manual…….
I'm not sure with your truck being 4wd and mine being 2wd. I won't be putting them on until I get the truck tagged and I have the money to do the rest of the exhaust
