Thanks for all the compliments guys. It made me feel better about them. I was still in decided by them but everyone has said nothing but good about them so now I feel a little better!

FYI - I had the tips welded on the inside of the tip to the pipe, very clean looking from the outside not seeing any welds holding the tip on, and all the soot hides the welds on the inside.

Jim - I told you I can fit my head in them, Kris has a picture of it somewhere.lol

Kris - The one you welded I could not get the camera in to get a picture of and knuckle head welded the other two. The one on the passanger side does need to be redone whenever you get a free night Kris, I dont like how the bracket is made.

Looks great Kenny, but I do agree you do need to get some 20+ longer tips on them that give a more of an even grade instead of just popping up as 8 inches. Without your truck looking the way it does then there is no way it would look right. I just bought me some cat back t-304 duals with 6in tips from a guy going 6in mitres in his truck for a good deal I cannot wait to install then .

So when are you guys going to get the stacks on Jims truck?

Thanks JD, They are really starting to grow on me

Well we had planned on Jim driving down in two or three weekend to install them here on his truck but due to some personal problems he has been having he just called and asked me to ship them to him. So I will finish cleaning them up, wrap them up and get them in the mail either tonight or tomorrow morning. I have to fight like hell to get the stacks out of the Y i got the left out but the right would budge, Ill have to fight with it tonight some more it looks like.

Nothing like the sound of duals. I need to get my measly 5" tips installed one of these days.

Clean install, and I love duals, but I personally think those tips are too big.
