Here you go clayman, same year as yours as the same motor ...
highflow cat 190.00
3"in dual out 2.5" flowmaster with 3.5" SStips 260.00 . all of this from the local muffler shop.
Are you in CA? i´m pretty new in the united states and dont know much about where to go.
That sounds like a pretty good deal, i wouldnt mind getting the headers also though..

they also gave me a discount so call in the order and see if you qualify for one
Thanks!
That sounds ok, how long did it take for you to install? do you need to cut/weld anything?
I was thinking of doing this right on my driveway but i wont be able to weld anything, cutting i will handle but i dont have acess to a weld.

it took me about 4 hours to do 2 trucks...on a reg cab shortbed truck you will need to cut about 2 feet out of the pipes but on a long bed its like 14 inches and if its extended cab you shouldnt have to cut nothing and its all a clamp on but i put mine on and now i am going to go get a flowmaster and have them weld it up...the reason i did what i did was because it is cheaper here in GA where i live to get a 150 exhaust setup and then pay the 70 bucks for a flowmaster then it is paying over 500 for them to do it all.......

Ok so CA has to have a OB2 approved cat converter, i called summit today and the cat hey have for $159 is NOT a OB2 and not legal in CA, the one summit had would cost me $227, i called the local muffler guy and he did the job for me inc parts for $350, so now the cat converter problem is out of the way, he could hook me up with a custom dual exit pipe with flowmaster muffler inc everything for another $350, so now i dont know if i should just brake down and buy the duals from summit or have him do it, the good thing about it is that i dont have to remove the spare tire, i dont know, what do you guys think?
Need help here, i would really like a little better flow/sound.

Just changing the cat made it sound really different, the whole core was totally loose inside and rattling like cracy, cracked in two. Glad i got that taken car of.

If money is tight do a muffler replacement and put a nice 3.5"SS tip on it that should be no more then 200 bucks if that. get the flow and sound not like a dual but it be nice on a tight budget or see how much it would cost and do a single in/out 3"
