Question Dual exhaust question

Hi there! I recently bought my 2000 dak sport 4x4 with the 4.7 in it. I was looking at getting dual exhaust kits with the dual split rear exit, but they all say I have to take my spare tire off. I am looking at a a fairly loud set of pipes, but PA kinda has strict emissions laws so no straight pipes.
-Is there a kit out there that doesn't require me to take the spare off?

-If not what kit do you recommend I get? I might consider a side exit kit if the dual is too much of a pain.

-I know a guy that has a metal shop, but im not that close with him, so Im not sure if i can employ him to help me out.

Thanks to all!

I wouldn't bother with dual exhaust if you don't plan to do true dual. There's no gain if you split after the muffler.

I have duals straight out the back with 2.5in pipe and i can still use my spare as well. Flowmaster sounds good on the 4.7.

PA isnt bad, as long as you keep your O2 sensors/Cats soemwhat in tact. If you want to go nuts, delete Y pipe, put a high flow or just single CAT in, do true duals back. Shop can do it fairly inexpensive, and it will prob last longer. where in PA are you. I know a guy that does really good work.

THIS!


Plus I think a 3" with a flowmaster 40 is best... This is just a single out.
